The best made for television film ever. A story that will stay with you forever. A pitch perfect cast brings this great story to life. Stephanie Zimbalist is a revelation. What a shame that she left the world of film for theater.Shawn Phelan is great as her young "brother". Had he not died so young he would have had a great career in films. The movie also benefits from the presence of the great character actor George Grizzard. While the cast is wonderful it is the story so original, so engrossing, so haunting. If you get the chance to see this film don't miss it. While it is made for T.V. it is better than most theatrical releases.
Wonderful writing and a perfect cast combine to form the best film version of any Neil Simon comedy. Redford and Fonda both shine here but the films brightest light is Mildred Natwick. One of Hollywood's best character actresses she gives what might be the finest supporting comedy performance in the history of film. This movie is a fine vision of life in 1960's New York.Redford and Fonda bring a sweetness and vulnerability to the characters of Cory and Paul.It's a shame Redford didn't do more comedy in his career. Barefoot in the Park is a true gem of 60's cinema. Simon got everything right in this one. It almost makes up for the film versions of his other plays. Get it on DVD you won't be disappointed.
