Visually, the directing is sublime. Director of Photography Philippe Rousselot makes every fishing line shine in the sun and every river glint with promised fish. Some of the fishing sequences are absolutely spectacular as the camera goes from fisher, to fishing line to fish. How do you direct a fish? I guess if you're a good enough fisherman, you can make a fish do anything. Some mention should be made of the film's four "Fly Fishing Consultants...

...never have prime-time entertainment shows been so bold about commenting on current affairs -- or their creators been so willing to step outside their characters to engage in political debate. "I had no animosity toward Quayle," says Bergen, "but then this glint of a zealot appeared. With the recent poverty figures that have been released, and the highest levels of unemployment since 1984, making ((Murphy's motherhood)) a campaign issue is insane."

...settlers. His forefathers arrived in the 1850s, shortly after the California gold rush began. This proud heritage infused every bit of his 6-ft. 1-in., 180-lb. frame. In some of Thom's desert pictures, his greenish-brown eyes, often hidden behind mirrored sunglasses, are filled with the glint of a growing confidence as he began to make his way in the world. His bearing betrayed a lifelong fascination with the military. Thom often wore camouflage pants and shirts, and he spent weekends playing survivalist in the mountains around his family's 160-acre ranch up toward Yosemite...
