Plot summary

[edit]

The film is the story of a family that moves from their rural home in Appalachia to Detroit, Michigan, where the father intends to find work in a factory. Gertie is hesitant to leave their home; her husband Clovis believes that it will bring the family a regular income and better way of life. What Gertie finds is a new place to exist, rather than live, and the family settles down in a tar paper shack by the railroad tracks in an industrial neighborhood.

All the while Gertie holds onto her homespun ways, one of which is carving. Clovis begins to dismiss her talents and puts down Gertie for holding onto her folk art in a modern world. Still, her handiwork is admired by those around her. One of the items that she hangs onto is a piece of a tree limb in which she sees a figure of Jesus calling to her to carve from it.

One setback after another begins to pull the family apart. Clovis doesn't find work and begins to get involved with matters that trouble Gertie; her children begin to also get involved in unsavory affairs.

The event that breaks Gertie's passivity to her situation is the death of her youngest daughter, who is killed by a railroad car. She confronts her husband, whose best intentions have led the family to this tragedy. Gertie decides that she will earn enough money to get the family back home to where it belongs. To do this she will make dolls, but she has no material from which she can carve the dolls. It is then that she takes the treasured piece of lumber that she longed to carve the Christ figure from, and splits it with an axe. From one piece of wood, she will carve many dolls. It is the only way to save the family.

From this sacrifice, the family is able to return home.

Background on Source Material

The Dollmaker is a novel by American author Harriette Simpson Arnow, first published on May 25, 1954, by Macmillan Publishers. Arnow, born in 1910 in Wayne County, Kentucky, drew from her own rural Appalachian upbringing and experiences of economic hardship during the Great Depression and World War II to craft the narrative, which reflects the displacement of Southern hill folk to urban industrial centers. The book spans over 600 pages and centers on Gertie Nevels, a resourceful Kentucky farmwife skilled in whittling dolls from wood, who relocates with her husband Clovis and their five children from their hillside home to Detroit amid wartime labor demands. This migration exposes the family to the alienating forces of factory work, tenement living, racial tensions, and material temptations in a booming but unforgiving metropolis. Upon release, the received widespread critical praise for its unflinching portrayal of human resilience amid poverty and cultural uprooting, earning comparisons to works like John Steinbeck's for depicting internal migrations driven by economic necessity. Arnow's prose emphasizes Gertie's inner strength, folk wisdom, and biblical literacy as counters to urban dehumanization, while critiquing the erosion of traditional self-sufficiency in the face of consumerism and wartime opportunism. The story incorporates dialect-heavy dialogue and detailed depictions of Appalachian customs, such as home remedies and storytelling, contrasting them with Detroit's assembly-line regimentation and ethnic enclaves. Though initially overlooked in some literary circles due to its regional focus and female protagonist, it has since been recognized as a seminal text in American realism, highlighting the human costs of industrialization without romanticizing . Arnow's research involved direct observation of Kentucky hollows and Detroit's wartime workforce, including interviews with migrants, lending empirical authenticity to elements like child labor risks and housing shortages in 1940s urban slums. The novel avoids overt political advocacy, instead privileging character-driven causality—such as how Clovis's and Gertie's adaptive carving skills shape family outcomes—over ideological narratives. Its enduring relevance stems from documenting a specific historical flux: between 1940 and 1950, over 3 million Southerners, many from , relocated northward for defense jobs, altering demographics and fueling cultural clashes that persist in analyses of decline.

Religious hope and biblical literacy underpin Gertie's , framing her endurance as a moral and spiritual struggle rather than mere ; her prayers and scriptural interpretations provide a to the secular of wartime migration. The film adaptation, while streamlining the novel's denser , amplifies themes of female heroism through Jane Fonda's portrayal of Gertie as a defiant who prioritizes integrity over economic gain, ultimately reclaiming rural roots by purchasing a despite profound losses, including her son's death. This resolution underscores a critique of modernism's "bigness"—encompassing state-driven war efforts, , and —as antithetical to human-scale living. Critics have debated the thematic emphasis on versus systemic forces, with some viewing Gertie's journey as a triumphant assertion of personal vision and gender-specific strength, aligning with Fonda's interpretation of the character as an "heroic female" who extends to other women.

Legacy and Impact

Cultural Significance

The Dollmaker (1984) amplified awareness of the mass migration of Appalachian families to northern industrial centers during , portraying the cultural dislocation and resilience of rural Kentuckians like Gertie Nevels in Detroit's factories. This adaptation of Harriette Arnow's novel highlighted the erosion of traditional agrarian values amid urbanization and wartime economic pressures, influencing scholarly and public discourse on Appalachian identity and the "" stereotype's inaccuracies. The film's emphasis on familial bonds and individual agency in the face of systemic upheaval resonated as a to mid-20th-century narratives favoring urban progress, fostering enduring interest in regional and self-sufficiency. Jane Fonda's portrayal of Nevels, for which she immersed herself in rural Southern culture—including stays with families to study dialects and customs—elevated the telefilm's authenticity and challenged coastal media's often dismissive views of rural America. Fonda later described the as her favorite, underscoring its personal and artistic weight, while her Emmy win drew over 20 million viewers to the broadcast, marking a high-water mark for prestige television adaptations of literary works.

Differences from Novel and Historical Accuracy

The 1984 television adaptation of Harriette Arnow's The Dollmaker, directed by and scripted by and , significantly alters the novel's conclusion to provide a more hopeful resolution suitable for broadcast audiences. In Arnow's 1954 novel, protagonist Gertie Nevels remains trapped in after the war, resigned to ongoing urban drudgery and familial fragmentation amid economic precarity, reflecting the author's unflinching portrayal of irreversible displacement. By contrast, the miniseries depicts Gertie carving a complete —symbolizing reclaimed agency—and returning to her homeland with her family, emphasizing triumph over adversity rather than stoic endurance. This change, acknowledged by the screenwriters as a deliberate deviation, softens the source material's bleak realism, which spans over 600 pages of intricate internal monologues and subplots condensed into a two-part format totaling about three hours. Beyond the ending, the streamlines the novel's expansive narrative structure, omitting or abbreviating secondary characters and episodic details to heighten dramatic pacing, such as Gertie's psychological struggles and the broader dynamics in Detroit's wartime projects. Arnow's , rich with phonetic and agrarian , is translated into visual and spoken that prioritizes Jane Fonda's portrayal of Gertie's resilience, sometimes at the expense of the book's introspective depth on themes like linguistic alienation. These modifications align with television's commercial imperatives, favoring emotional uplift and star-driven accessibility over the novel's protracted exploration of cultural erosion. Historically, both the novel and miniseries accurately capture the mass of over 1.5 million Southern rural workers, including many from and , to 's automotive factories between 1940 and 1945, driven by wartime labor demands and federal incentives like the Fair Employment Practices Committee. Arnow, who resided in from 1944 to 1962, drew from firsthand observations of "" enclaves in areas like Delray, where migrants faced squalid boardinghouses, racial tensions, and exploitative wages amid the Arsenal of Democracy's boom—conditions mirrored in depictions of the Nevels family's tenement life and factory drudgery. The portrayal of cultural dislocation, including mockery of Appalachian speech and customs by urban natives, aligns with documented sociological accounts of the era's "," where migrants contributed to production surges (e.g., 's output of 12,000 tanks and 500,000 vehicles by 1945) but endured stereotypes and postwar layoffs. Minor dramatizations, such as individualized family crises, do not undermine the fidelity to broader causal factors like failures and the lure of steady paychecks exceeding $1 per hour in unionized plants. Critics have noted the miniseries' visual authenticity in recreating 1940s hollows and slums, enhancing its evocation of real hardships without fabricating events.
