Just went to IMDB and then to Amazon about the Kesey book...Michael Sarrazin played the intellectual brother who smoked pot and graduated from Yale, having just come home after his mother's suicide...Richard Jaekel played Fonda's son-in-law, who drowns in a scene I still can visualize a decade after having seen it last ...anybody else remember this film, directed by Paul Newman, a decidedly pro-union individual in those days (who also starred as the chip-off-the-old-block half-brother)? Does it simply champion rugged individualism?
"For beauty is the beginning of terror we are still able to bear, and why we love it so is because it so serenely disdains to destroy us" Rilke's First Duino Elegy
