So many movies, I missed a few.
But I went with Mr. Roberts. Such a great performance

Owen Thursday is such a punk ### ##### in Ft. ApacheFt. Apache and Cheyenne Social club were always two of my favorites. Voted for Mr. Roberts though.
Yeah but he’s not really all that decent. There’s a lot of darkness there that we would see fully come out later.Went with Tom Joad because the role is emblematic of the decent everyman that Fonda often portrayed. This could be used against type when he played more villainous or ambivalent characters.
Always like it when the hero type plays bad.Once Upon a Time in the West
He was a great bad guy for a change.
No problem, we all know you were talking about Jane.No Easy Rider?
eta: My bad, wrong Fonda.

I saw an interview with Jane Fonda where she got teary-eyed in describing how autobiographical much of the emotional stuff was between her and Henry in the movie. She quoted the line where she says "It seems like we have been mad at each other for a long time," and he responds with "I just thought we didn't like each other."Not sure it was his signature role but he was amazing in Norman in On Golden Pond.
Watching my Grandfather have Alzheimer’s and then watching that movie was incredibly powerful and something I will never forget
Apparently Henry hated all the “method” style Jane used and thought she wasn’t a real actress. He was pretty rough on her making that movie- often belittling her acting approach. She said Katharine Hepburn is what for her through the movie.I saw an interview with Jane Fonda where she got teary-eyed in describing how autobiographical much of the emotional stuff was between her and Henry in the movie.

At the end of that scene, Jane reaches out and touches Henry's arm (it wasn't in the script) and he starts to cry.
I read the exact same thing.She said Katharine Hepburn is what for her through the movie.
Saw it again a few wks ago and meh. Those two 1956 flix, this and Man Who Knew Too Much, he was clearly mining something about terror & the family that just didn't register w me.TCM is showing The Wrong Man today at 1PM EST. I haven't watched it for decades but I remember it as a dark little film about a man trapped by circumstances. Fonda plays the title character.
Hitchcock made it during his late 1950s peak period which is as strong a half decade of work as any director has ever had.
