Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Wild River is a 1960 film directed by Elia Kazan, starring Montgomery Clift, Lee Remick, and Jo Van Fleet. Bruce Dern has a cameo, in his film debut.It is sometime in the mid-1930s. Chuck Glover (Clift) has arrived in Garthville, Tennessee, to become the new supervisor of the local office of the Tennessee Valley Authority and complete final preparations for the activation of a hydroelectric dam that will flood the Tennessee River valley, creating a new lake. This requires landowners along the river to sell their land and relocate before it's flooded. Chuck's problem is that one family, the Garths, refuse to sell Garth Island in the middle of the river. Specifically, 80-year-old family matriarch Ella Garth (Van Fleet) refuses to sell it, as she's lived there all her adult life and her husband, the town's founder, is buried there.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })While Chuck is trying to get Ella to cooperate and move off the island before the impending floodwaters wipe most of it off the map, he is also romancing her lovely widowed granddaughter, Carol (Remick). Additionally, Chuck soon discovers he has a more serious opponent than Ella. All the local white racists object to Chuck's plan to hire black laborers and pay them fair wages to clear land for the dam. The racists, besides objecting on grounds of simple racism, fear losing cheap black labor for their own businesses. Head racist goon R.J. Bailey (Albert Salmi) is soon prepared to take violent action against Chuck.The movie's plot and characters were adapted from two different 1950s novels dealing with the Tennessee Valley Authority's dams and the families evicted by them: Dunbar's Cove by Borden Deal and Mud on the Stars by William Bradford Huie.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

The Dutiful Son: While Joe John Garth does ultimately leave the island while Ella stays put, he is the only one of her sons not to take part in trying to have her declared incompetent and throws Chuck in the river for insinuating Ella is crazy. | |

Lazy Bum: Hamilton and Cal Garth (and possibly Joe John, although he's absent during that conversation) are old enough to be great-uncles but openly admit that they don't do any work on the Garth farm and just mildly supervise the black farmhands, and have been that way since childhood. Knowing that the relocation would force them to get jobs causes them to resist for a while. | |

Police Are Useless: The local Sheriff zigzags this. He's mildly helpful and supportive to the TVA for most of the film, while also displaying some sympathy for Ella, but watches Bailey and his men wreck Chuck's house, endangering him and Carol's lives for a while before intervening, although his (mild) intervention does stop things from getting worse. | |

Later, when he visits Chuck to beat him up, he makes a point to offer him a cigar and chat with him for a while before delivering his racist ultimatum. | |

The Needs of the Many: Not spelled out in dialogue but an obvious theme of the film. The TVA will be a boon to the whole region, creating jobs, bringing electricity (one of the farmhands gapes with delight at the electric light in his cottage), and saving lives and property by ending the uncontrolled flooding of the river. But for this to happen, people like Ella Garth have to give up their river land. | |

Good Cop/Bad Cop: Not cops, but Sy Moore and R.J. Bailey serve as this in dealing with Chuck and trying to keep him from hiring African=American laborers for the dam (although it's left vague if the two are actually working together). Moore arrives at Chuck's house making polite requests, but warns that he and his companions deliberately excluded Bailey from the meeting because he'll be rougher, and when his overture doesn't work Bailey does show up, willing to rough up and outright threaten Chuck to keep him from offering his mistreated and underpaid black laborers the opportunity of a better job. | |

Insane Troll Logic: R.J. Bailey declares that one of his workers, Ben took the offer to work for the TVA for greater pay, and Bailey threatened Ben into coming back to work for him and then beat him so viciously that he couldn't work for two days (making Bailey hire another man). He declares that this means Chuck owes him the $4 he had to pay for Ben's replacement. Chuck understandably doesn't see it that way. After Bailey beats up Chuck and takes the money though, it's implied that he was merely trying to intimidate Chuck out of hiring black workers and doesn't care about the matter, as he uses that money to buy some moonshine to send up to the battered Chuck with a smug chuckle. | |

Conversation Cut: Chuck tells the mayor that he plans to pay the local black population fair wages for working on the dam—$5 a day. The mayor, who knows how much local racist businessmen rely on a pool of cheap black labor, says "I predict your next visit will be from a Mr. Moore." Cut immediately to the next scene in which a local businessman is introducing himself as Sy Moore. | |

Together in Death | |
| Wild River / int_f6624c30 | comment |
Together in Death: Ella shows Chuck the grave where her husband's been for decades, and the plot that's waiting for her next to him. The final scene has Ella being buried next to her husband, as the family graveyard is the only part of the old island that's still above water. | |
