Sometimes a Great Notion (Blu-ray)

Paul Newman makes his directorial debut in this sweeping saga filled with complex characters and issues that still resonate today. Based on the best-selling novel about a two-fisted Oregon lumber family the story focuses on a family that bucks their close-knit timber community in order to deliver a shipment of logs in defiance of a strike. In the process one man is killed the family patriarch Henry (Henry Fonda) is injured and the eldest son Hank (Paul Newman) almost loses his wife (Lee Remick) to his half brother (Michael Sarrazin).
