About Barefoot in the Park

Devotees of Neil Simon's repartee, such as in his Goodbye Girl and Brighton Beach Memoirs, will enjoy this earlier tale of domestic dispute between newlyweds. Corie (Jane Fonda) is the young housewife trying to keep life exciting while making a home for her and her husband, Paul (Robert Redford), on the fifth floor of a Greenwich Village walkup apartment. He's working hard at starting his career as lawyer; she's eager to be romantic and spontaneous; and the two have plenty to squabble about. The film suffers a bit from Corie's excessive perkiness and the odd lack of chemistry between the two actors. But those who find the dramatic conventions a bit stiff (some of the dialogue and action seems more suited for stage than screen) may still smile at the dated look (circa 1967) at home life. Mildred Natwick is superb as Corie's mother, and Charles Boyer milks his role as the elderly bohemian neighbor upstairs. --Jenny Brown Amazon.com essential video

Love these "60s movies

Love this movie. It reminds me of the first time I moved out on my own. Nothing seamed to bother me about my first broken down apartment and the crazy neighbors. Great movie June 21, 2008

Barefoot in the Park

Robert Redford and Jane Fonda are newlyweds in this quirky comedy. They play well off each other with him playing straight serious to her funny spontaneity. This is a treasure that you will want to view over and over again.

Laugh 'Til it Hurts

Who can forget the stairway scenes! Which, without a doubt, is the heart of the movie. From the first victim (Herb Edelman, the telphone repairman) who have to climb the stairs to get to the apartment, to the rooftop drama, this movie delivers the laughs. Fonda and Redford make a good team. This is definitely a laugh-a-minute movie. September 1, 2007

Great Movie

I never saw the play on which this movie is based, but I do have to say that I think this movie is hilarious and really light-hearted. The first time I saw it was on TCM (Turner Classic Movies), and I could already tell it was a classic. It was such a simple movie, yet so memorable. There are many catchy lines and quirky situations that make this movie a "must-have". I recommend it for anyone young or old who has the urge to laugh and smile through the day. Thanks for reading!=) June 16, 2007
