mat disagreed with the rating and said:
There are two women - Ethel and her daughter Chelsea - and they do have several conversations but practically always about their husbands. Once or twice they don't talk directly about them, for example when Ethel accuses Chelsea of having a chip on her shoulder, but then there is no reply (Chelsea just walks off). There is this exchange: E: I love your hair C: thanks (32'), which is not about a man, though it follows an exchange about how old Norman looks. So I'd say a doubtful 3/3.
Moderator - this entry needs changing both on the rating and on the form of the title which is "On Golden Pond" (no article).
