Ruby’s verdict: Everyone when they watch this film falls in love with Robert Redford’s Hubbell Gardner, because he’s so gorgeous (especially in Navy whites). But Barbra Streisand’s Katie is the heart of the movie, with her passion and her purpose, and her determination to make their relationship work no matter what. She has to give up in the end, but the truth is he’s not out of her league, it’s totally the other way round. She’s way out of his league, because she believes in something enough to fight for it, and he doesn’t – not even her.
Luke’s verdict: Streisand’s exhausting in this movie, no wonder Redford sleepwalks through the whole thing – and that song has got to be the ear-worm of the century – but you’ve gotta feel bad for Katie at the end because she still doesn’t get it – Hubbell was never worth the effort.
