Henry Fonda's last performance is a good one--Review created: 09/16/06

1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
In this film, Ethel and Norman (played by Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda), are at their summer home. Norman is an old "coot", as Ethel calls him, and soon enough we discover just how stubborn and cranky he is. Nothing seems to scratch his surface, including a visit by his daughter, Chelsea.
The film is realistic in its portrayal of family life and its difficulties, and it also deals with the issues of aging parents and difficult family dynamics. What's interesting to note is that some of the same issues were parallels in the Fonda family, so it has been said that some of the acting in fact displayed real emotions. This was Henry Fonda's last perfomance before his death; he received an Oscar for it.
Although not at all a happy-go lucky movie, it is a good one to watch and think about.

This is one of Henery Fonda's greatest movies.
He and Kathern Hepburn are well suited to their rolls.
A great family film and one of my all time favorites.
This one will become a classic.

Be sure to have a box of Kleanex with you when you watch this, especially if your own parents have passed on.
This movie is great on so many levels. Seeing Hepburn and Fonda at their finest. Top notch cinematography, and the kind of emotional story that draws you in like a a magnet. My grandparents had a cabin by the lake.
Its been many years since I've watched this, at least 10 or more. Now that both my parents are gone, I really cried my way thru the family moments. Watching this film is like visiting with old friends.
Watch it, you'll feel like you're at the lake with the Loons.
Blessings, Max Rainet.

Wonderful CDI love the CD , it has always been my favorite movie. Unfortunately White Elephant as a seller is very very slow in shipping and not very helpful when you contact to get an idea just how long they are going to hold your money before they ship your good. As a result of my letting them know that I didn't like there practice's they have decided not to leave any type of feedback. I would be very careful when purchasing anything from them. There are many other sellers that are much much better.

The Making of a ClassicReview created: 09/06/07

I consider this Henry Fondas greatest movie and one of the all time classics. I love everything about it and there is nothing to dislike. I feel that having his real daughter in it added to its reality. You can't go wrong with this on.

Fantastic buy, hard to find item , but not on ebay!!!!!Review created: 11/07/06
by:
Had seen the movie when it first came out,and loved the name Chelsea, the part that Jane Fonda played in the movie.Always said that if I ever had a daughter that would be her name. Finally after 11 yrs. of trying I gave birth to a beautiful daughter in 1992.Had often told her about this movie,but never came across it in the store. Thank God for e-bay.So when I found it on ebay purchased it so my daughter would remember the story I told her about how her name came about. We live in western Md. in the mountains and just got a Walmart 5 yrs.ago that is our first dept. store, so we're pretty limited on shopping so I do a lot of shopping through e-bay.We have very long and hard winters, and this is a great passtime. I have purchased alot of different things from e-bay and only have had one dissapointing item. So you can't beat those odds.
