Pictures, directed by Joshua Logan, and starring Anthony Perkins and Jane Fonda in her film debut. It is based on the 1957 novel The Homecoming Game by Howard Nemerov, which was the basis of a successful 1959 Broadway play titled Tall Story, by the writing team of Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. The film was a considerable departure from Logan's previous two projects, the drama Sayonara, which won multiple Academy Awards, and the blockbuster South Pacific. It was Robert Redford's first film — he played a basketball player in an uncredited role. ## Credits - **Director:** [Joshua Logan](https://cinepixo.com/people/joshua-logan) - **Producer:** [Joshua Logan](https://cinepixo.com/people/joshua-logan) - **Screenplay:** [Russel Crouse](https://cinepixo.com/people/russel-crouse) - **Original Music Composer:** [Cyril J.
