Sometimes a “Great Notion” is a rather dull movie excepi for one scene. The film stars Paul Newman and was also directed by him and it involves the story of a lumbering family in Oregon. There is one scene where actor Richard Jaeckel’s character gets his foot stuck between two logs while they are hauling lumber across the river. The logs are underwater and he is unable to free himself and his head is just below the water line. Paul Newman comes to his rescue, but is unable to free him. To help him survive Newman is forced to blow air into Jackel’s mouth in fifteen second intervals. They do this for several minutes and it keeps Jackel alive, but the awkwardness of the situation becomes too much for Jackel and he ends up breaking out in laughter, which causes him to suck in too much water and kills him. A very unique scene to say the least and for trivia purposes this was also the very first movie ever shown on HBO when that service started on November 8, 1972. The Gauntlet’ is another bland movie from 1977 that stars Clint Eastwood and Sondra Locke. However, the scene where the police shoot-up a traveling bus and put well over a hundred holes in it, is a definite sight to see.
