Despite its ecological underpinnings, however, <em>Everglades<\/em> is essentially a tale of archetypal opposites, with Plummer&#8217;s young (urban) protagonist bumping up against Burl Ives&#8217; indomitable force of nature, and both men grudgingly earning each other&#8217;s respect. Ultimately, there&#8217;s not quite enough going on here to bolster a full-fledged narrative (countless subplots &#8212; including a love affair between Plummer and Chana Eden, and some hillbilly antics by Ives&#8217; crew &#8212; seem haphazardly thrown in), but Ives and Plummer make for compelling enough enemies to hold our attention throughout. Watch for Peter Falk in his screen debut. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Falk.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Falk-1024x620.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"388\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-59469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Falk-1024x620.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Falk-300x182.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Falk-128x77.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Falk-768x465.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Falk-446x270.png 446w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Falk.png 1525w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Burl Ives as &#8220;Cottonmouth&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Ives.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Ives-1024x641.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"401\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-59465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Ives-1024x641.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Ives-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Ives-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Ives-768x481.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Ives-431x270.png 431w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Ives.png 1481w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Christopher Plummer as Murdock<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Plummer.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Plummer-1024x615.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-59464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Plummer-1024x615.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Plummer-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Plummer-128x77.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Plummer-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Plummer-1536x922.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Plummer-450x270.png 450w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Plummer.png 1551w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>The unusual Floridian setting<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Location.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Location-1024x638.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"399\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-59466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Location-1024x638.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Location-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Location-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Location-768x478.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Location-433x270.png 433w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/Wind-Across-the-Everglades-Location.png 1485w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See?
