Per tutto il pomeriggio non ho desiderato altro che andare a casa e accendere il video per riguardarlo in solitudine. Per molti, Redford era il volto del cinema indipendente, il fondatore del Sundance Film Festival, l’attore di film indimenticabili come La mia Africa e La st...

SCHENECTADY — The stars aligned in the fall of 1972 to bring Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford, two of that era’s biggest entertainers, to Union College to film several key scenes of “The Way We Were.” “It was a really exciting time on campus and we were in awe that those two huge stars were in our midst,” recalled Gail Goodman Snitkoff, a 1974 Union graduate and one of numerous studen...

A view of some photographs from the filming of the movie  “The Way We Were” in the fall of 1972,  on the campus of Union College.  These items are in the Special Collections and Archives  department in Schaffer Library.  Paul Buckowski /Union College https://www.union.edu/news/stories/202310/garnet-colored-memories Publication Date October 9, 2023 It is early fall of 1937 , and the leaves on campus are beginning to turn , a tease to the spectacular landscape to follow. Two students with little in common cross paths, she a Jewish anti-war activist, he a stunningly handsome WASP athlete . The introduction of Katie Morosky and Hubbell Gardiner at Wentworth College sparks a spectacular romance across decades that ultimately ends in heartbreak. Except this romance wasn’t real. Instead, many people with a Union connection are familiar with the Hollywood tale that became one of the biggest tearjerkers of all time, “The Way We Were.” A number of iconic scenes were shot...

Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford in the  1973  film The Way We Were.  (via  AnOther Magazine ) https://jwa.org/blog/way-we-were-political-personal March 24, 2022 Sarah Jae Leiber I am a picky woman when it comes to most of life’s little tests, particularly the romantic ones. One time, I didn’t go on a second date with a guy because I said something offhand about Brooke Shields and he said, “Oh, is that one of your friends?” I figured if we weren’t compatible pop culturally, we wouldn’t be compatible in any other way, either. I don’t particularly care about Brooke Shields, but that’s beside the point—it’s what “not knowing who Brooke Shields is” represents. Katie Morosky, the spitfire Jewish communist Barbra Streisand plays with such tenderness in the criminally underappreciated 1973 film The Way We Were, might have some feelings about the way I dismissed this man outright. My date wasn’t Robert Redford, who stars opposite Streisand—no one is—but Katie might have ...

“He was like the country he lived in...”  “See you, Katie.”  “See you, Hubbell.” Released in 1973, The Way We Were is still the best love story about intermarriage, says Brigit Grant "Loudmouth Jewish girl from New York City comes to Malibu, California, and tells her gorgeous goyishe guy that she’s pregnant.” This chutzpahdik dialogue between Katie Morosky and Hubbell Gardiner in one of many tender and unforgettable scenes in The Way We Were is a perfect synopsis for the finest movie ever made about a mixed marriage of the Jewish kind. Streaming platforms are now brimming with films and series about interracial relationships, but movies about Jews marrying out – think The Awakening of Motti Wolkenbruch – are mostly confined to the Hallmark channel, waiting to be found. But in 1973, a triumvirate of Jewish producer, writer and director created a film starring Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford that ticked all our boxes, but with a wide enough appeal to make $50 million at ...
