Salmon Days

Rating: 8/10 (6 January 2004)

Somewhere east of Seattle is a small town called Issaquah. Annually in this town they celebrate the return of Salmon. If you can't tell, the word Issaquah has an American Indian history. Native American people have a rich history of storytelling, and I would like to believe that this was one of their stories that got away.
Mr. Burton took the pages from this fairytale and wove a tapestry of adventure, love, patience, suspense and forgiveness. This all-star cast went back to the root of entertainment by telling a story. This was a story about a story in a story. Not since `The Princess Bride' has anyone been able to tell a seamless tale of love, life, and adventure. For fathers, for sons and family's everywhere, this was a tale of big life, big love, and Big Fish!
