Set against the politicalism of pre-WWII and later McCarthyism, a diametrically opposed couple come together only to find that genuine friendship and physical attraction is not enough to overcome fundamental societal beliefs. The collapse of their relationship comes in tandem with her determination to speak to the House Un-American Acitvities Committee.

I always felt that Barbra should have stuck to singing. In all her movies including this one she OVERACTS. She is a spectacular singer and a very average actress. Redford is just a gorgeous guy. Roger Ebert went on and on about Barbra so he must be delusional.

Kinda disgusted this is considered a great love story. It's basically about this privileged guy who falls for an opinionated woman he can't have, and quite frankly doesn't deserve. She in turn turns herself into doormat for him. Great acting all around though, hence the second star.

Wow, wow, wow...what a movie. It's an everyday love story...meaning that this kind of love can happen to anybody. They love each other beyond measure but cannot stay together because of other pressures. I'm going to buy the movie. Loved it!!
