Short description
For Norman and Ethel Thayer, this summer on golden pond is filled with conflict and resolution. When their daughter Chelsea arrives, the family is forced to renew the bonds of love and overcome the generational friction that has existed for years.
What's left behind the scenes
- The scene in Purgatory Bay was filmed at the end of September. To avoid freezing, Doug McKeon and Henry Fonda (1905-1982) wore wetsuits under their outerwear. The water level was so low that it only reached their knees. Katharine Hepburn (1907-2003) decided to dive into the water herself, although a stunt double was originally planned for the scene, and jumped in without a wetsuit.
- Jane Fonda later recounted that she was only able to cry as the script required when Katharine Hepburn was planted in the bushes nearby, from where she threatened the actress with her fist.
- This is the only film in which Hollywood veterans Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn starred together.
- The film's script states that the action takes place in the state of Maine, but it was filmed in the state of New Hampshire.
- Ribin was called “Walter Trout” in the film. It was brought in from a trout farm in New Hampshire. Billy and Norman actually released it into the lake. Since then, many have still been trying to catch the fish, but too much time has passed for that to be possible.
- The only film in history where both leading performers playing husband and wife, namely Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn, won an Academy Award for Best Actor and Best Actress respectively.
- Henry Fonda received the Oscar at the age of 76, becoming the oldest actor to be awarded this prize.
