Screen legends Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford make movie magic as the captivating star-crossed lovers Hubbell Gardiner and Katie Morosky. Theirs is a classic love story sparked by the attraction of opposites, played out against the backdrop of American life during times of foreign war, domestic prosperity and McCarthy-era paranoia in Hollywood. The story begins on a college campus in 1937 where Hubbell is the popular star athlete while Katie is the abrasive defender of radical causes. It is only by chance that eight years later they meet in a bar and fall in love. Their marriage is strained by their inevitable conflicts and reaches a painful end when Hubbel, now a screenwriter in Hollywood, is threatened by McCarthy's communist hunters and takes the easy way out, while Katie is determined to fight them.This Special Edition has been digitally remastered and includes a "making of" documentary, with new interviews spotlighting Barbara Streisand, director Syndey Pollack, screenwriter Arthur Laurents, composer Marvin Hamlisch and more. Winner of two 1973 Academy Awards® (Best Song "The Way We Were" and Best Score), THE WAY WE WERE is the timeless romance that cannot be forgotten.
Editor's Note
Sydney Pollack directs Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand in this sensitive and moving tale of the romance of two individuals whose political ideologies are exact opposites. Streisand won an Academy Award nomination for her performance as Katie Morosky, a Jewish student radical who falls in love with Hubbell Gardner (Redford), a conservative privileged writer. The two interact from the beginning of their college courtship through the Hollywood-blacklisting era of the 1950s.
