Sometimes a Great Notion - Incredible Scene

Yeah, it was a McCulloch, wasn't it?

Fantastic book, just an ok movie. This scene from the book really sticks with you.

damn.  goddamn

Never thought I'd see this again. Thanks for a really great memory Cammie!

good argument!!!

The movie was originally released under the same title as the book "Never Give An Inch" (that's what it was called when I saw it in early release) later, in that same year the name was changed to "Once A Great Notion."

It was one of those movies that sticks with you... even though (overall) not one of Newman's "greatest."

This scene where the brother literally laugh himself to death has always stuck with me. These ten minutes are a real gem---never have forgotten them.

Thanks for the post.

this was a so so movie i like paul newman and henry fond but they should have stuck to movies not about logging. I can say this because I am a logger fourth generation cut timber for 17 years then on the rigging for a spell now I run shovel the movie has some good clips of what logging use to be like you don't see many 110 ft Berger's around much anymore or line shovels. I did catch a couple BIG boo boos though

That's exactly what I was searchin for when I found this! I love that scene! He undercuts it and everything, and when that paper flies off that bar when he fires it up! I can think of a few desks I'd like to do that to! Ha Ha!
