The Way We Were
About
The Colonial is spotlighting Women in Cinema in March. For our first Classic of the month, we salute icon Barbra Streisand in her Best Actress in a Leading Role nominated role of Katie Morosky.
“What maintains The Way We Were through its potential cringes is the realism of the romantic arc and the believable chemistry between the two leads — equal passion and frustration, at times a perfect romance and others a doomed affair.” – Common Sense Media
Opposites attract when, during their college days, Katie Morosky (Barbra Streisand), a politically active Jew, meets Hubbell Gardiner (Robert Redford), a feckless WASP. Years later, in the wake of World War II, they meet again and, despite their obvious differences, marry. Hubbell wants to be a screenwriter, so the two move to California despite Katie’s objections. They prosper there, but as the Hollywood blacklist looms, Katie’s activism threatens her husband’s reputation.
