...soured the boxoffice from bigoted toughnecks like Fonda's powerful patriarch. I've met a few, and they really can be "bigger than life", with wicked humor.
I really liked how the "long haired college BOY" was being ribbed by Fonda - all the while being the MAN on the side with Lee Remick.
Great tone and dynamics throughout - politically incorrect far before the term was coined.

I liked "Ryans Daughter" as well - good is good regardless of popularity.
