Had not seen it from start to finish in probably 40 years. IMO, one of Henry Fonda's best. It was released in 1963.That movie is the prelude to The Walton's. Several references mentioned that are similar to Th Waltons. In fact, Earl Hamner (Waltone creator) was a writer. Now, me and my Wife are about to start a Waltons binge, starting with the TV Movie that started it all.. 1971's The Homecoming.
