Everything seemed so important then... even love!

Opposites attract when, during their college days, Katie Morosky, a politically active Jew, meets Hubbell Gardiner, a feckless WASP. Years later, in the wake of World War II, they meet once again and, despite their obvious differences, attempt to make their love for each other work.

    A radical Left-winger falls in love with a more conservative WASP on the verge of WW2 and post-war

    A disparate couple meets in college in 1937, New York, and then reignite after the war. Katie (Barbra Streisand) is an uber-Liberal while Hubbell (Robert Redford) is more levelheaded about politics. He becomes a writer in Hollywood during the blacklist investigations of the late 40s wherein Katies activism threatens his social life and career. The story closes in 1957.

    The Way We Were (1973) is a classic drama/romance, much acclaimed in its day. The vibe is similar to Love Story (1970) but this has superior characters and a more interesting setting.

    Its interesting to see how loony Liberals existed way back then in the 30s-40...
