Robert Redford's second film as director following 'Ordinary People' (which won him an Oscar) is a suitably ecologically friendly story about the rights of citizens versus the might of the dollar and the preservation of a cultural heritage. The story of how one poor Mexican bean farmer's decision to cultivate land needed by outside developers leads to a stand-off between the downtrodden community and big business, it's a whimsical allegory that pits rich bad guys against poor good guys and never leaves any doubt about which side will win. Glowing location photography, a fistful of likeable characters and a lush score won Dave Grusin an Oscar. Despite the draw of Redford's name and a cast that includes such familiar faces as Melanie Griffith and Christopher Walken, it was an undeserved box-office flop.
