    Fonda was drawn to a scenario by Alan Sharp (Night Moves, Ulzana\u2019s Raid), which he read in one sitting during a restless night while promoting Easy Rider in Italy. \u201cI felt I had to do this one,\u201d he said, \u201cbecause there were no clich\u00e9s in this script, just western mythology.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Martin Scorsese personally selected the 1971 western for a revival screening at the inaugural Tribeca Film Festival in Manhattan. Clint Eastwood has acknowledged its \u201cgritty realism\u201d as a major influence on his own Unforgiven. Quentin Tarantino treasures his copy of the movie\u2019s original theatrical trailer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    On Vilmos Zigmond<\/p>\n

    Fonda had gotten to know his chosen cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond during the filming of Easy Rider, as Zsigmond had been a close friend of that feature\u2019s cinematographer Laszlo Kovacs. Upon receiving the green light to make The Hired Hand, the young director knew exactly who he wanted to be his cinematographer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    The same year he shot The Hired Hand, Zsigmond had also been employed by Robert Altman to create the gorgeous photography on his own unorthodox western, the aforementioned McCabe and Mrs. Miller. Early in his amazing career, Zsigmond proved far more than capable of producing painterly images through his camera lens. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
