When I tell friends I\u2019m working on a documentary about Elia Kazan<\/strong>\u2019s 1960 film Wild River<\/em><\/a>,<\/strong> I don\u2019t often hear that \u201cahh\u201d of recognition. Despite being revered by modern critics, it\u2019s never been released on DVD in the U.S., so it lurks in the shadow of Kazan giants like East of Eden<\/em><\/strong> and On the Waterfront<\/em><\/strong>. I expect that to change soon, however, as Martin Scorsese<\/strong>\u2019s new documentary A<\/em> Letter to Elia<\/em><\/strong><\/a> airs on NPT and PBS stations nationwide (October 4),\u00a0 and Wild River<\/em> finally arrives on DVD in a Kazan box set, 50 years after it hit theaters.<\/p>\n

\"Wild<\/a>Wild River<\/em> is the story of a Tennessee Valley Authority<\/strong> bureaucrat (Montgomery Clift<\/strong><\/a>) coaxing a stubborn family matriarch (Jo Van Fleet<\/strong><\/a>) off her land to make way for \u201cprogress\u201d \u2013 the TVA\u2019s systematic flooding of the region that would bring power and jobs during the Great Depression. It co-stars Lee Remick<\/a><\/strong> in the role of Van Fleet\u2019s widowed granddaughter Carol, who falls in love with the TVA man. It also happens to be the first major motion picture shot in its entirety in Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Kazan began conceptualizing Wild River <\/em>after a stint with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (he assistant directed a 1937 labor movement propaganda film called People of the Cumberland<\/em><\/a><\/strong>) and subsequent interest in Franklin D. Roosevelt\u2019s New Deal, specifically the TVA.<\/p>\n

Scouting locations for Wild River<\/em>, Kazan flew 650 miles from Paducah, Kentucky, to Muscle Shoals, Alabama, looking for the setting he saw in his mind. He found it in Bradley County, Tennessee, along the banks of the Hiwassee River.<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s most charged setting \u2013 a bend of river with history on one side, \u201cprogress\u201d on the other, and a pole-operated ferry for drifting back and forth \u2013 is a spot on the Hiwassee River called Coon Denton, a few miles from Charleston. Overlooking it is a white cottage locals now call the Lee Remick House. The rest of the film was shot in tiny downtown Charleston, most of which is gone now; on sets inside the National Guard Armory in nearby Cleveland; and on the banks of Lake Chickamauga in Hamilton County, now in view of TVA\u2019s Sequoyah Nuclear Plant towers.<\/p>\n

Besides the setting, Kazan realized what the local people could bring to his production. He offered speaking parts to more than 40 locals and hired over 100 more as extras, stand-ins and crew. Kazan loved to study people, jab at them, discover their idiosyncrasies. His affection for Bradley County residents was evident \u2013 he corresponded for years with Carolyn Harris<\/strong> and her daughter, Judy<\/strong>, who played Lee Remick\u2019s little girl in the film. They liked him too, and if anyone in this ultra-conservative region knew a thing about his Communist views, they didn\u2019t seem to care.<\/p>\n

\"Coon<\/a>

I was hired to direct the documentary by Life Care Centers of America\u2019s Media Center and the Cleveland\/Bradley County Chamber of Commerce. We are recording an important event in the town\u2019s history, but I think we\u2019re getting much more. Our film is a humble, low-budget recollection of Wild River<\/em> stories from the hometown point of view. We tell about the movie by following the citizens of Bradley County \u2013 notably David Swafford, a second-shift welder who\u2019s writing a book about Wild River<\/em> \u2013 as they prepare for their Wild River<\/em> 50th<\/sup> Anniversary Celebration, which happened in June of this year.<\/p>\n

The stories, if you\u2019re into Southern characters, are good. They\u2019re also a bit cloudy \u2013 after all, most of the key figures have passed on. But that\u2019s merely part of the fun. We follow David in his earnest obsession to find film artifacts and the truth behind local legends. There\u2019s debate, for example, about who gave Montgomery Clift, who was struggling with pills and alcohol, his first sip of moonshine. Nine people claim that they were the owner of the blue tick hound dog who played Ol\u2019 Blue in the film. White folks remember the premiere of the movie at Star-Vue Drive-in, but black cast members don\u2019t remember being invited \u2013 or for that matter being welcome at the Star-Vue at all.<\/p>\n

Film aficionados, East Tennessee residents of a certain age, and TVA retirees will tell you that Wild River<\/em> is one of Elia Kazan\u2019s most impressive and underrated movies. Some even call it his masterpiece.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m glad the greater public will soon get a chance to see for themselves.<\/p>\n

Allison Inman is an independent filmmaker and the ITVS Community Cinema coordinator for Nashville. Her documentary on the making of <\/em>Wild River should be available next year. <\/em>A Letter to Elia airs on NPT and PBS stations nationwide on Monday, October 4 at 8:00 p.m. Central.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
