Harriette Arnow's novel about a Kentucky mountain woman who moves to Detroit with her husband during World War II and tries to make extra money with her gift as a wood-carver was adapted by Susan Cooper and Hume Cronyn into this three-hour production, which won Jane Fonda the Emmy Award for best actress in her TV-movie debut. Geraldine Page co-starred and the supporting cast included Levon Helm, Amanda Plummer, Dan Hedaya, Studs Terkel and Sheb Woolley. This was Petrie's third DGA Award for TV direction.
