Wissenswertes
Movie stars Jessica Lange, Sissy Spacek and Jane Fonda were all in 1985 invited to testify before the House Democrats' Farm Task Force dealing with the emotional toll of the financial stress experienced by farmers in the early 1980's. The three actresses were invited to this Capitol Hill meeting due to their lead film performances as troubled farmers from each of their then current farm films from that era. The pictures were, respectively, Country (1984), Menschen am Fluss (1984) and Dollmaker - Ein Traum wird wahr (1984). Another farming picture at this time was Ein Platz im Herzen (1984) which starred Sally Field but she did not attend the hearings.

Don't Underestimate This Little Masterpiece

This is a movie you'll want to watch again and again. Jane Fonda has created memorable characters throughout her career but her portrayal of Gertie is so achingly authentic and original, Fonda, as you may have seen her in other roles, is all but unrecognizable here.

Originally made for TV, I hope this movie will be released on DVD and be re-run frequently on TV and get some of the attention it deserves (I caught for the first time as a late night rerun.) Fonda's Gertie represents a very real American woman who is too rarely seen in movies, presented here with such stark realism, you'll take her into your heart.

This movie and Fonda's performance can stand along side the very best of American films. And it is simply a beautiful story - I hope more people get a chance to discover The Dollmaker.
