His family lived a simple live. His father was a stern minister of a small Presbyterian Church whose one joy in life was fly fishing, which he taught to his two young sons. Norman MacLean, who later became a professor at Chicago University, wrote his book as a "love poem to his family". The movie was shot in Montana in breathtakingly beautiful, serene countryside. Norman MacLean, himself, was privately tutored in writing and while conservative and extremely sensitive in his own private life, he participated in some dare devil antics with his younger brother in their youth. He spent six years at Dartmouth University, while his brother stayed home and took a position with the newspaper. After he finished his college education he returned home to spend a few months with his family before taking his position with Chicago University. It is during this period that he met his wife, Jesse Burns. It is also during this time he discovered that during his absence his brother, Paul, had begun drinking and gambling heavily. He is also dating an Indian girl which was forbidden at that time. Norman had to bail Paul out of jail many times because of fights in bars and fights with his gambling companions, to whom he had become heavily indebted. When Norman left for his job in Chicago, he asked Jesse to marry him and go with him, which she did. He also tried to persuade Paul to accompany him, but Paul, loving Montana, fly fishing and the life he was leading, declined Norman's invitation. There was one last time that Norman was called to retrieve his brother, and that was when Paul's gambling debts finally caught up with him and he was beaten to death by the butt of a revolver and dumped in an alley.
