Jul 9th    
A River Runs Through It**                 

(US 1992)                  

In the 1920s a Presbyterian minister's son returns home to rekindle his family roots through their love of fly fishing.
Skilfully adapted in quite leisurely but pleasurable fashion by Redford in order to keep the subject of fly fishing interesting in beautiful surroundings, although without too much particular drama per se, but what there is is quite moving. A beautiful wallow in Americana in the manner of The Waltons.
