- Synopsis:
Set in the early 1930's and filmed on location in the Tennessee Valley, Wild River features Montgomery Clift as an idealistic Tennessee Valley Authority agent who is assigned the task of convincing the locals to move from their property so that a beneficial dam can be built. One major barrier stands in his way, a feisty old woman (the estimable Jo Van Fleet) who simply refuses to budge from her land. Elia Kazan's masterful recreation of a troubled and complex period in American history is marked not only by its astounding locations, its first rate performances (alongside Van Fleet, Lee Remick excels as the holdout's granddaughter and look out also for an uncredited Bruce Dern in his first screen role) but by its forward thinking and undeniably powerful social liberalism. - Actors:
