BRIDGE stars Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward as Walter and India Bridge, a traditional couple living in Kansas City in the 1940s. The Bridges have three children: the strong-willed Ruth (Kyra Sedgwick); Douglas (Robert Sean Leonard), a carbon copy of his conservative father; and Caroline (Margaret Welsh), a college student and romantic. After years spent in a sheltered marriage, India is forced to reevaluate her long-standing values when her best friend, Grace (Blythe Danner), becomes disillusioned with their straitlaced social group. Simon Callow plays Dr. Alex Sauer, Walter's nemesis and a proponent of psychoanalysis. The movie is based on the novels of Evan Connell, skillfully rendering the author's perspective on deeply held American social mores and values. [More]

Slow and lacking much drama, even by Merchant-Ivory standards, but the lead performances, especially by Newman, are impeccable.
