The Way We Were
2015 Chaplin Award: Robert Redford
April 24 - 27, 2015
Sydney Pollack’s beloved tearjerker finds a carefree WASP (Redford) and a Marxist firebrand (Barbra Streisand) falling in and out of love amid political strife. The immortal theme song has become a Streisand standard.
With an Oscar-nominated performance in the Best Picture–winning grifter comedy The Sting, and the leading role in one of cinema’s most beloved tearjerkers, The Way We Were, 1973 was a watershed year for Redford. In Sydney Pollack’s film, Redford plays Hubbell Gardiner, a carefree collegiate WASP who meets coed Marxist firebrand Katie Morosky (Barbra Streisand). She deplores his apathy; his friends find her insufferable. Thus begins a decades-long love affair, spanning World War II and the Red Scare. Marvin Hamlisch won a pair of Oscars for his work on the film—one for his original score, and one for co-writing the immortal theme song, now a Streisand standard.
