Great Scenes from the Movies #12

Deliverance, 1972, from the James Dickey novel. John Boorman directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Dickey. The director and writer early on got into a fistfight on location in Georgia. Dickey was drunk and started the brawl, but the two men made up and Dickey even played a cameo in the film. In addition, this was Ned Beatty's first film role.
