An engrossing, if occasionally ludicrous, hit tearjerker with Pollack, Streisand, and Redford doing a good job of bringing Arthur Laurents' script to the screen.

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.

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