ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
mickeyx32 This was terrific---brilliantly funny! I only wish HBO would make this title available on DVD. I remember watching this version many years ago. I watched it many times as I thought it was so well put together. Bess Armstrong and Richard Thomas worked so well as the leading characters. Hans Conried and Barbara Barrie were no less than marvelous. Most of---if not all of the scenes were shot in the small two room apartment. Are there any plans to make this title available? Is there are way to contact HBO for a request? So many great titles have been lost and I believe this is one of them. Mickey
sprocket_girl I have been looking for this version of Barefoot to come available for years now. Barbara Barrie was brilliantly funny. Richard Thomas was also exhaustingly funny. The whole cast works together so well. I saw this version of Barefoot on HBO as an 8th grader and was so captivated by the play and the actors performance that 23 years later (I enjoyed it that much) I am still in hopes that one day I will find this released to DVD. This play, but more especially the actors performance made me want to be an actor. This is such fun to watch. From memory it moves very quickly, is full of energy, full of love and full of fun. I thought the Redford/Fonda version would suffice in lieu of finding this version on tape or DVD, but it really didn't. Not to say that the Redford/Fonda version wasn't good - I just liked this better. HBO, please release to DVD is all that I request.
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?!?
