Wild River (1960)

A young bureaucrat for the Tennessee Valley Authority goes to rural Tennessee to oversee the building of a dam. He encounters opposition from the local people, in particular a farmer who objects to his employment (with pay) of local black laborers. Much of the plot revolves around the eviction of a stubborn octogenarian from her home on an island in the river, and the young man's love affair with that woman's widowed granddaughter. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with The Film Foundation.

A very good drama by a director who knows how to pill the strings of your heart. Lee Remick is at her most fragile and beautiful and Clift, toward the end of his career, is also convincing. Very moving and effective.

Elia Kazan uses color brilliantly in this film, giving it an autumnal tone and atmosphere that emphasizes its quiet sadness. Beautifully subdued and patiently paced, the movie's power settles in a few minutes after the closing credits have rolled. Montgomery Clift's performance is outstanding, and he shares great screen chemistry with Lee Remick. I was forced to watch this picture on Youtube, but its potency shone through despite the bad quality of the transfer.

Surprisingly muted, especially since this is a CinemaScope film back when that was reserved for blockbusters. But it tells a lyrical- and admirably even-handed- tale of the mixed blessings of progress.

Sympathetic to both sides, the movie pits tradition against progress, rugged individualism against the greater good.
