Amazon.com essential video
Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand star as sociopolitical opposites--he's a WASP novelist, she's an activist--who nevertheless strike up a romance in the 1930s, and have a rocky relationship through the next two decades that reflects much of America's history. An essential part of the movie--the Hollywood blacklist and the McCarthy witch- hunt years--comes across as a botch, due to some excessive cutting before the film was released. But except for that hole in the heart of the story, director Sydney Pollack (Out of Africa) has crafted a strong and moving drama about two interesting characters. Redford (always good with Pollack) is at the height of his powers, and Streisand is persuasive. --Tom Keogh

 The way we were review October 13, 2009
Richard Hutchinson (Wayne, NJ)
I ordered this movie because I heard from Sarah Jessica Parker that it was a great movie. I love it. It does get pretty sad but It's a great flick, a classic. I got it here for only $3 and some change. Barbra Streisand rocks!
Thank you "Sex and the City" for recommending..... October 8, 2009

For any Sex and the city lovers out there, Carrie and her friends referred to this movie when Big ran off and married another women. After watching that particular episode for the 100th time I found this movie on Amazon. Hell if you want to find anything it can be found on Amazon. Back to the movie, I wasn't even born when this came out and after watching it. It is by far one of the best love movies I have ever seen. Actually, I'm still unable to cry about the ending but I feel it coming. Excellent purchase. Thank you Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda.
Beautiful film, beautiful actors. October 6, 2009

An old stand by - classic - I had on VCR tape and bought on DVD. I have loved this for years and always will. The music, the Streisand/Redford connection is just awesome! Cant say enough about it! This will always be a favorite I am sure!

 an annoying big budget tale February 13, 2009

The film is annoying for its pretentiousness and loose ends. The most realistic sequence is when the mousy Katie takes advantage of Hubbell's drunken condition in a NYC nightclub to take him home to sate her lust. Throughout the picture the hapless Hubble seems unable to push her off. The romance consist mostly of her efforts to intrude herself into his life which she at once resents and covets. It never makes any sense why Hubble and his friends are able to party and have affairs in NYC at different during the war while in the Navy. The war was a very cushy experience for all. It was not your dad's war, the one in which people slogged through Europe and the Pacific and got killed or maimed. Also, weird is the way the accidentally meet years later seemingly unconnected. What about the kid? Hubble didn't care? This very aggressive Jewish girl from NYC wasn't down his throat for increased support payments every time he made another buck?.Add the loose ends to red propaganda that saturates several scenes and you might need an antacid.
