in his "the new york times" review, vincent canby said, "as a successful broadway play, "on golden pond" was processed american cheese, smooth, infinitely spreadable and bland, with color added by the actors... the movie... still american cheese, but its stars – henry fonda, katharine hepburn, jane fonda and dabney coleman – add more than color to this pasteurized product. "on golden pond" now has the bite of a good old cheddar... mr. fonda gives one of the great performances of his long, truly distinguished career. here is film acting of the highest order... miss hepburn... is also in fine form. one of the most appealing things about her as an actress is the way she responds to – and is invigorated by – a strong co-star... she needs someone to support, challenge and interact with. mr. fonda is the best thing that's happened to her since spencer tracy and humphrey bogart... an added pleasure is the opportunity to see dabney coleman [in] a role that goes beyond the caricatures he's usually given to play... "on golden pond" is a mixed blessing, but it offers one performance of rare quality and three others that are very good. that's not half-bad."
on golden pond (1981 film)
the name golden pond was first applied to a post office in the area on december 28, 1848; the location of the post office is unknown, though it may have been near the pond of the same name. the town at the recognized location was established in 1882. the early town's economy was based on the area's natural resources, which included timber, iron ore, and fertile soil for agriculture. in 1898, a fire destroyed golden pond, which was subsequently rebuilt; a second conflagration burned the town in 1936, though it again recovered. during prohibition, golden pond earned a national reputation for distilling moonshine whiskey, which was later sold in speakeasies in midwestern cities such as chicago, detroit, and st. louis. in 1964, the tennessee valley authority opened the first office for the land between the lakes national recreation area at golden pond. the land within the recreation area was subsequently evacuated; golden pond was abandoned by 1969, and the last residents left the peninsula in 1970. many of the residents moved to a location in calloway county which was named little golden pond in 1989.
