Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford are untied for the first time in one of the most memorable romances in screen history. It's the story of the attraction of opposites, the love that binds them together and the differences that tear them apart. The story begins on a college campus in 1937 where Hubbell Gardiner (Redford) is the popular star athlete while Katie Morosky (Streisand) is the abrasive defender of radical causes. It is only by chance that eight years later they meet in a bar and fall in love. Their lust and nostalgic portrait of two people on a collision course with destiny has become a classic, as has Marvin Hamlisch's Academy Award Winning Song. Nominated for six Academy Awards, THE WAY WE WERE is a love story of rare poignancy.
