Remick and Linda Lawson (as Jaeckel’s wife) cook and clean for the men, but otherwise keep quiet. Newman’s quiet, Fonda’s loud and demanding (and partially immobilized due to a half body cast), Jaeckel’s goofy (and religious). The townspeople aren’t too happy with them. Except Fonda and family aren’t in the union they’re scabs (but not exactly because they’re just non-union they’re still breaking the picket line and apathetic to their former friends and still neighbors literally starving around them). The film starts in the middle of a loggers’ union strike. Henry Fonda is the dad, Lee Remick is Newman’s wife, Richard Jaeckel’s a cousin. Newman is eldest son in a successful logging family. Newman, as director, uses Mancini’s score to do heavy dramatic lifting in scenes–not the folksy stuff–to the detriment of the performances, which is bewildering, since there are so many good performances in the film. Its loud, obnoxious jazzy folksy Americana thing. You can always tell when it’s one of those moments because Henry Mancini’s score does its jazzy folksy Americana thing. The fun is usually when his character (Newman, at forty-five, is playing a logger in his early thirties) is being a rugged, adventurous, caution to the wind type, whether it’s climbing to the top of a tree he’s just cut the top off, dirt biking, brawling, whatever. He’s serious at times, but outside one scene, he’s always most interested in the fun. And director Newman is more interested in having fun. Screenwriter John Gay avoids exploring those virtues like the plague or directly contradicts them in exposition. At some points in the near two hour runtime, it might hint at being about the virtues of rugged American individualism, family, and maybe capitalism, but it’s not.
