Starring: Barbra Streisand, Robert Redford, Bradford Dillman, Murray Hamilton
Director: Sydney Pollack
In Pollack's schmaltzy romantic melodrama, real politics is in the background (of course), but the movie is enjoyable as a star vehicle for its handsome stars, Redford and Streisand in their only film together, not to mention Hamlisch's melodic tone.
The politics are relegated to the background, and what is left is a commercially astute weepie.
An engrossing, if occasionally ludicrous, hit tearjerker with Pollack, Streisand, and Redford doing a good job of bringing Arthur Laurents' script to the screen.
A distended, talky, redundant and moody melodrama.
Top CriticA for effort; C for execution.
Top CriticSentimental but not overly smaltzy
No review available.
With the script glossing whole areas of confrontation (from the communist '30s to the McCarthy witch-hunts), it often passes into the haze of a nostalgic fashion parade.
It's easy to forgive the movie a lot because of Streisand. She's fantastic.
Top CriticThe story of Jewish left-wing ugly duckling and the WASP prince with whom she falls in love encapsulates its time and emotions with knowing precision.
Ultra glossy soaper that's frankly irresistible.

Syrupy and over-rated.
certainly a classic of its kind

Comes off as about as believable as a love affair between myself and a potted plant.
