BAREFOOT IN THE PARK (Theatrical Release USA 1967)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì

Barefoot in the Park—surprisingly good comedy—provides a light, fun, romantic, clean watch of newlyweds as they begin their life. The dialogue allows an interesting explore into how men and women often polarize over trivialities. Robert Redford and Jane Fonda movie is worth a watch. Portrayal of storyline classifies as interesting and well done. Clever film.
