| DVD was sealed and arrived in great shape. The sound quality of the DVD was not what I expected. The volume on our TV had to be at twice the normal level just to hear the audio (no, it is not my hearing). Other than that, I was very pleased with my purchase and would buy from Amazon again. |

This is a movie with many themes and they are woven into a warm blanket of understanding for the viewer. It covers love, family conflict, dementia, growing up, growing old and growing wise.
Norman Thayer (Henry Fonda) and his wife Ethel (Katharine Hepburn) arrive at their summer cabin on the lake somewhere in the northeast. They have owned the cabin for a long time. Norman reads old newspaper clippings of his retirement as a college professor, a smart and respected man - and yet Norman does not recognize people in a framed picture or remember the telephone operator's name. You see he is dealing with dementia and sometimes frustrated. He is a proud man and covers up a lot with his cantankerous nature.
This summer their daughter, Chelsea, (Jane Fonda) arrives with her fiance Bill Ray (Dabney Coleman) and his 13 year old son Billy (Doub McKeon) from a previous marriage. They leave Billy with the Thayers as they want a romantic vacation in Europe together.
Norman is grumpy but agrees to have Billy for the summer. He is also thinking a lot about turning 80 and his health. He has never understood how to raise a daughter and did not get along with Chelsea as a youngster - calling her "fat" and overall distant and unloving. Chelsea can't get the "chip" of his comments off her shoulder and move on - yet Norman may not live very long.
Somehow, alone with Billy, Norman blossoms and also helps Billy to really enjoy his time at the cabin with two "old folks" - fishing brings Norman and Billy together. When his daughter returns at the end of the summer, an understanding and reconciliation happens with her as well..
Golden Pond and the Thayer's "golden years" deal with loss of health, dementia, aging through a wonderful cast and well-written script. Jane Fonda's real-life issues with her dad Henry seem all too similar to those on the screen. You wonder if she is acting or reacting to his cantankerous comments. The three key actors, Katharine Hepburn, Henry Fonda and Jane Fonda, are a trifecta of talent. |

| This is such a sweet movie, especially for those who enjoy lake cottage living. Also shows a vulnerability that Jane Fonda had with her dad. Katherine Hepburn is totally in her element! A great movie! |

| This a great classic movie. Unfortunately in the world of HD and DVDs, it's too bad that is has not yet been digitally remastered. You could tell it was an aged piece but it's still a GREAT movie demonstrates a heartfelt, realistic view on aging gracefully and romantically. The scenery(New Hampshire)is be beautiful too.... |
