Amazon.com essential video: Devotees of Neil Simon's repartee, such as in his Goodbye Girl and Brighton Beach Memoirs, will enjoy this earlier tale of domestic dispute between newlyweds. Corie (Jane Fonda) is the young housewife trying to keep life exciting while making a home for her and her husband, Paul (Robert Redford), on the fifth floor of a Greenwich Village walkup apartment. He's working hard at starting his career as lawyer; she's eager to be romantic and spontaneous; and the two have plenty to squabble about. The film suffers a bit from Corie's excessive perkiness and the odd lack of chemistry between the two actors. But those who find the dramatic conventions a bit stiff (some of the dialogue and action seems more suited for stage than screen) may still smile at the dated look (circa 1967) at home life. Mildred Natwick is superb as Corie's mother, and Charles Boyer milks his role as the elderly bohemian neighbor upstairs. --Jenny Brown
Some people won't get it This is excellent. Many people under 35 years old or so probably won't appreciate this Neil Simon classic. I was 12 or so when I first saw it in 69' or 70'. I was captivated by it's exaggeration of marriage, love and commitment. It is not a 'reality show'. If you have been married for many years (33 years) like I have, you will really enjoy the absurdities and over-reactions. It's a great movie!
Vapid and hard to sit through This film was entertaining for the first five minutes and then it became almost tortuous to sit through. It is so vapid. The couple is severely mismatched and you actually end up hoping that they don't get back together in the end because in the long run, they lawyer especially, would be better off without such a dingbat woman for a wife. Now both of the lead actors are in their prime in this movie and they are both very good looking. Robert Redford bears an almost uncanny resemblance to Bill Clinton, although, even better looking. Jane Fonda does well in her dance routines. But truthfully, I see little reason to even bother with this film.
Love these "60s movies Love this movie. It reminds me of the first time I moved out on my own. Nothing seamed to bother me about my first broken down apartment and the crazy neighbors. Great movie
Barefoot in the Park This DVD was received as promised. It was a gift. Very satisfied with your service.
Barefoot in the Park Robert Redford and Jane Fonda are newlyweds in this quirky comedy. They play well off each other with him playing straight serious to her funny spontaneity. This is a treasure that you will want to view over and over again.
