A really good thriller ... quite well done and well acted .... at a point one realized that a 4 buddy's peaceful canoe trip was turning into raw terror in the woodsQuote from: "cc"

Burt Reynolds is so young in that movie.

Jon Voight and others also. Really good actors at their best in my estimationQuote from: "cc"
Is there a lot of violence in the movie?
If not, I'll watch when I get the chance.

Some. The country folk intend to kill the 4 ..... it's more a psychodrama planting a building fear in the mind as it goes alongQuote from: "cc"

I don't like a lot of graphic violence in movies.

Fash, how can I handle you?
Deliverance broke grounds, but not due to graphic violence.
You are not from here, but Deliverance was a 'ground breaking' movie in its time...

It certainly was a stunner - best I have seen for first suspicion on trouble ... then, Oh, Oh .. realization that trouble IS coming ... slow building of terror in the minds of the men and the audience
The great acting made the writing work to the hilt

For the record, although Ronny Cox knew a few chords on the guitar, Billy Redden didn't play at all. The players you are actually hearing on the soundtrack are Steve Mandell (guitar) and Eric Weissberg (banjo.) Both of them had forgotten that they were quoting a 1954 record by Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith, so Weissberg took the writing credit. When the song was released as a single and became a chart topper, Smith heard it and sued, winning both credit and royalties.Quote from: "Peaches"
Correct. They had actually set up some of the scene where the 'real' banjo player was located directly behind Billy with his arms extending forward to play the banjo, but making it look like they were Billy's arms...

The term classic is often overused but Deliverance stands well above the wannabes as a "true" classic and also revolutionaryQuote from: "cc"

Right, but it wasn't Weissberg, just some actor who sorta knew the banjo. And he put his left arm into Billy's shirt sleeve so it looked like it was Billy's arm. But even so, some of the left hand work on the banjo is wrong, and the whole thing is not really synched very well.
