Mtguide Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I also remember the opening of the movie, filmed from a chopper flying over the coast range forests, while Charley Pride sang "The Family of Man". And the book is really one of my favorites Kesey ever wrote. Newman was great in the movie, and was of course the star, but Henry Fonda as Pa Stamper was terrific, damn near stole the show. The Stamper family motto, "Never give an inch," was perfectly characterized by Fonda, also this line, when someone was moving too slow to his liking," God damn it, man, we got timber to fall, orders to fill, things to do, an' cats to kill!!". I think the old house where the movie was filmed is still there on the banks of the Siletz River, about 2 miles upstream from the mouth opens into Siletz Bay at Kernville, south of Lincoln City.
