My all time favorite love story. Redford and Streisand were phenomenal. It is finally in my library. For over 40 years I loved this movie. And, don't get me started on the award winning theme song. Her voice has always been awesome. Still love to hear her sing.

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!!
