LETTERS FROM ELIA: WILD RIVER
October 4, 7:30 PM
WILD RIVER (dir. Elia Kazan, U.S., 1960, color, 110 min., 35mm)
In the early 30's, Montgomery Clift, an idealistic young field administrator for the Tennessee Valley Authority comes to a small town to enforce the clearing of the land to be flooded by a new dam on the Tennessee River. He encounters opposition from Jo Ann Fleet, an elderly woman who refuses to sell her land to the government and others who object to his employment (with pay) of local black laborers. Notable for Ellsworth Fredrick's riveting Cinemascope landscapes' shot on location in the Tennessee Valley the film's dramatic arch links the relationship of Nature with the role of the individual in the United States.
