“Taylor’s musically sweet, lyrically devastating ballad is the perfect encapsulation of Sidney Lumet’s elegy to ’60s idealism,” THR writes. “Playing over the Pope family as they wash up after dinner, dancing and singing along, the song is both balm and burden.”
The famous kitchen sequence comes about midway through the film. The scene sees Danny’s family and new girlfriend clear the table after a birthday dinner, then launch into a joyful sing-along to “Fire and Rain,” which is playing on the radio. Lumet holds the camera steady for several minutes for an unbroken shot, while deliberately contrasting the bittersweet moment with a song about loss, tragedy, and pain.
“I’m surprised really at how durable [the song] is, or how reliable the connection--the emotional connection it makes is,” Taylor once explained to NPR.
With “Fire and Rain” turning 56 years old this summer, there’s no better time to revisit--or discover--Lumet’s film. It’s available on multiple streaming platforms. At the very least, watch the film’s pivotal scene that transforms Taylor's classic ballad into one of the greatest movie-music moments of all time.
