I think it only works back when the film was released. Most people growing up knew Henry Fonda as the "nice" guy a la The Grapes of Wrath. So it was probably a big surprise to see he's playing somebody as bastardly as Frank. Well that, and 30+ years isn't going to hide secrets.Did it even work back then? Who went to see this movie but was unaware of the role Fonda played in it? Even the trailer spoiled it. I would think that there would be some people who, upon learning about it, would want to see this movie just to see Fonda in that role.
