Don't go getting all sentimental on me, lorrie. Yes, it was Streisand and Redford, I've only seen fragments of it on TV but it seemed quite touching. On the other hand, I had the mixed fortune to see "Prince of Tides", Nolte and Streisand, which I thought unintentionally funny. Well, it was really ok, but the thing that stuck in my mind was this line from the end, from the Nick Nolte character: At the end of every day I drive through the city of Charleston and I cross the bridge that will take me home. I feel the words building inside me, I can't stop them, or tell you why I say them, but as I reach the top of the bridge these words come to me in a whisper. I say these words as a prayer, as regret, as praise, I say: Lowenstein, Lowenstein. Maybe he was thinking of going out for a beer and got the name confused. Actually, reading the other quotes on imdb.com, maybe it was all supposed to be funny, see us.imdb.com. I have the impression Streisand gets a little too earnest when she's directing herself, talented though she may be. Looking it up, "The Way We Were" came out in '73, only a year after "What's Up, Doc". The latter was really, really, really funny, a great movie. A few years later, she was this remake of "A Star is Born", which generated my favorite radio commercial from my Chicago years, it went something like this: "That was Barbra Streisand, singing 'Evergreen', from 'A Star is Born'. And now, a Store is Born, in Evergreen Plaza. . . ." Jeez, I remember way too much, I think it's all part of OCD. Cheers, Dan.
