Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
newjennyk I was captivated by this play (on HBO) 24 years ago (13 years old) and surprised to read comments by others with the same enthusiasm. This play opened my eyes to the theater, how truly wonderful it is to see great actors perform on stage (and even be so enchanted seated on a couch in my own home). I rented the movie with Jane Fonda and Robert Redford and did not think much of it. I have been looking for this version from HBO and have not had any luck. If a version does come out on DVD, I would love to own a copy to show my daughter, also. I have seen Richard Thomas also in TV movies and have enjoyed his acting abilities in every one of them. Bess Armstrong as well.
whisper9509 I seen this play on HBO so many years ago and have been looking for it every since. I thought that this version of the movie was very hilarious. Bess Armstrong was very great in her role, as well as Richard Thomas. This was so much better than the movie done by Jane Fonda and Robert Redford. I can not believe it is not available for purchase. I wish I would have recorded it when it was on TV, to my great regret I did not. Do anyone have any idea where one might find this version either to rent or buy. Or have anyone heard if they (HBO or any other network) will air this again. So if anyone finds this play please advise the rest of us who is so desperately looking to see it again. Thanks!!!
dondi318 I absolutely loved this version of Barefoot in the Park. I have an old copy from when it first aired but its so grainy its really hard to enjoy. I would love to find another copy somewhere. If anyone knows how to get a copy please let me know. This stage production was so much better than the movie, its scary. The actors are wonderful and the movie version appears drab and lifeless in comparison. I have searched all over the web looking for this movie, but I guess it isn't out on video at all or I would have found a copy by now. If anyone has a copy and would like to copy that, I would be willing to buy it. If anyone know of a website that sells old HBO movies, let me know.
tbdwittyname Better than the Fonda/Redford version. The actors are funnier and more energetic because the director takes a more light-hearted approach. Bess Armstrong is superb as Corie. HBO should air this again. Why isn't it available on video?!?
