My dad texted out of the blue, this time about Robert Redford.
In honor of Robert Redford’s passing, I’m watching Barefoot in the Park. Redford is paired with the one and only Jane Fonda. The movie is from 1967. Rose [my grandmother] took me to see it then at Radio City Music Hall. That was a thing. She took me every year for a few years. A Nice memory. BTW I don’t remember anything of the movie except the opening scene.
I hadn’t seen the movie, so I asked what the opening scene was.
A horse and carriage ride through Central Park. Jane and Robert had just gotten married. Yeah Kane did a great job with the wife character.
Great, I knew the opening scene in vivid detail, but nothing of the film overall. I could look up a synopsis, but I didn’t want to see the whole plot clinically laid out. Instead, I asked if there were any other memorable scenes.
Yeah after they find out they are incompatible she asks for a divorce six days into the marriage.
Perfect. I gotta go see Barefoot in the Park now.
