He notes that while &#8220;we&#8217;ve seen the same problematic relationships &#8212; cranky old man and lonely young boy, cold old man and his unloved adult child &#8212; in other films (and TV movies), &#8230; they&#8217;re rooted in real life and are hard not to respond to.&#8221; He further points out that the film &#8220;has special meaning to viewers&#8221; given that &#8220;Henry Fonda and Jane Fonda had an estranged relationship for many years, until reconciliation late in his life&#8221; &#8212; just as happens to their characters in the film. Meanwhile, it&#8217;s gorgeously shot (on location in New Hampshire) by D.P. Billy Williams, and consistently beautiful to look at.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, however, I can&#8217;t profess to sharing Peary&#8217;s guilty fondness for this enormously popular film (the top-grossing movie of 1981), which I find not only calculated and derivative but poorly structured. The emotional pay-off we&#8217;re waiting for is clearly the reconciliation between Henry and Jane, yet Jane&#8217;s underdeveloped character is hardly onscreen, and the bulk of the film focuses instead on Henry&#8217;s mentoring of McKeon. In sum, narrative priorities are confused: if this was meant to be a film about an emotionally troubled young teen coming of age in a gorgeous setting under the guidance of a curmudgeonly yet caring grandfather-figure, then McKeon&#8217;s character needed to be written with much more depth and insight. <\/p>\n<p>Despite these serious complaints, however, the lead performances in <em>OGP<\/em> are certainly a joy to watch, and Hepburn and Fonda Sr. do indeed &#8220;rise above their roles&#8221;. As Peary writes, Fonda Sr. in particular is &#8220;wonderful in this role because he seems to really understand all his character&#8217;s strengths, quirks, self-doubts (especially in regard to aging), weaknesses, and flaws &#8212; particularly as a father&#8221;. Film fanatics will likely want to check out this film once simply to see him in his swan song (and to see Hepburn&#8217;s &#8220;energetic performance&#8221; as well). <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Henry Fonda as Norman Thayer<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/On-Golden-Pond-Fonda.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/On-Golden-Pond-Fonda.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/On-Golden-Pond-Fonda.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/On-Golden-Pond-Fonda-128x68.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/On-Golden-Pond-Fonda-300x160.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Katharine Hepburn as Ethel Thayer<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/On-Golden-Pond-Hepburn.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/On-Golden-Pond-Hepburn.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/On-Golden-Pond-Hepburn.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/On-Golden-Pond-Hepburn-128x68.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/On-Golden-Pond-Hepburn-300x160.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Gorgeous cinematography by Billy Williams<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/On-Golden-Pond-Cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/On-Golden-Pond-Cinematography.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-29901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/On-Golden-Pond-Cinematography.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/On-Golden-Pond-Cinematography-128x68.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/On-Golden-Pond-Cinematography-300x160.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, once, simply for the powerful lead performances. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Noteworthy Performance(s)<\/li>\n<li>Oscar Winner or Nominee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0082846\/?ref_=sr_1\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/movies.nytimes.com\/movie\/review?res=9E05E2DF153BF937A35751C1A967948260\">NY Times Original Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcm.com\/tcmdb\/title\/20343\/on-golden-pond#articles-reviews?articleId=161287\">TCM Article<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.timeout.com\/london\/film\/on-golden-pond\">Time Out Capsule Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;You know, Norman, you really are the sweetest man in the world &#8212; but I&#8217;m the only one who knows it!&#8221; Synopsis: While vacationing at their summer home on Golden Pond, an elderly couple &#8212; friendly Ethel (Katharine Hepburn) and crotchety Norman (Henry Fonda), who has a troubled relationship with his grown daughter (Jane Fonda) &#8212; agree to care for the sullen teenage son (Doug McKeon) of Fonda&#8217;s fiance (Dabney Coleman).
