A River Runs Through It (1992)
In the American drama film directed by Robert Redford, A River Runs Through It (1992), two brothers, Norman and Paul, were raised in Missoula, Montana by their strict Presbyterian minister father, Rev. John Maclean. Along with their mother Clara, the brothers developed a love for fly fishing in the nearby Blackfoot River. After being home-schooled according to their father’s moral and academic standards, Norman leaves for college at Dartmouth. Upon returning six years later during the Prohibition era and Jazz Age, he discovers that his brother Paul has become a skilled fisherman and a fearless investigative journalist for a newspaper in Helena. Attending a Fourth of July dance, Norman meets Jessie Burns, who catches his eye and is the daughter of the local general store owner in Wolf Creek. Calling her up the next morning and setting up a double date, Norman takes Jessie out to the Hot Springs speakeasy for their first date together.
Paul and his date, Mabel, a Cheyenne woman who enjoys alcohol like him, arrive together. Unfortunately, the local white crowd looks down on Mabel. Not long after their arrival, Norman receives a call to bail Paul out of jail. He had been arrested for assaulting a man who insulted Mabel. The desk sergeant informs Norman that Paul is in trouble with some local criminals because he owes them money from a poker game at the Lolo speakeasy. Despite Norman’s offer to help Paul financially, Paul declines the offer. Meanwhile, as Norman continues dating Jessie, she asks for his assistance with her brother Neal, who is struggling with alcohol addiction while visiting from Southern California. Both Norman and Paul are not fond of Neal but at Jessie’s request, they invite him along for a fly fishing trip. However, Neal turns up intoxicated with Rawhide, a prostitute he met the previous night.
