All But Two Scenes
Daniel Day-Lewis, the film’s starring man, appears in almost every scene save for two. These are the sequences in which a mud-caked Eli Sunday rants at his father, as well as a brief montage of H.W. and Mary Sunday on the eve of their wedding. Daniel Day-Lewis, who has always been picky about the parts he chooses, got attracted by the film after witnessing Paul Thomas Anderson’s work on Punch-Drunk Love. Anderson, understandably, was overjoyed to have such a well-known actor join his production.
