Amazon.co.uk Review

Based on Neil Simon's own play, 1967's Barefoot in the Park is a perennially joyous film starring carefree Jane Fonda and staid lawyer Robert Redford as young newlyweds setting up home in Greenwich Village. Although the opening credits are fragrantly idyllic (aided by Neal Hefti's soundtrack, you can almost smell the blossom in Central Park), the film doesn't idealise apartment living in New York, à la Friends, far from it: Fonda and Redford's apartment is up several flights of stairs; there's a hole in the skylight and the bedroom is the size of a cupboard. All of this puts some strain on the marriage. When Fonda introduces fellow free spirit and ageing, behind-on-the-rent Lothario (Charles Boyer) to her somewhat inhibited mother (Mildred Natwick), the hapless Redford in particular is forced to come to terms with his own inhibitions. Although the second half of the film moves at a less cracking pace than the first, Barefoot in the Park is as exhilarating as a romantic weekend city break. Directo r Gene Saks, scriptwriter Neil Simon and composer Hefti would regroup in 1968 to make the similarly wonderful The Odd Couple.

On the DVD: With the aid of filtering, the DVD recaptures the almost unreal colour quality common to films of this period, while the sound is faithful to the nuances of Hefti's soundtrack. The special features are miserly--subtitles, a choice of languages and the original trailer, though this at least conveys the engaging naiveté of the period--("The rarest, unsquarest, happiest motion picture in many a year!"). --David Stubbs

5.0 out of 5 stars A gem!, 27 Jun 2001
By A Customer
A film that will have you laughing from start to finish and will leave you with a warm tingling feeling inside. It will delight no matter how many times you watch it. Robert Redford and Jane Fonda excel as the amorous newlyweds whose relationship suffers after they move into the flat from hell. Paul and Cory are in love but their different personalities:he is Mr Sensible while she is kooky and fun-loving, threaten to destroy the marriage just as it is starting. Fine performances from the supporting cast ensure that this timeless classic will be laughed at and loved forever. What's more, there's not an obsenity to be heard anywhere! Robert Redford fans will adore this film, but it will be a hit in everybody's book. An absolute 'must buy'!

5.0 out of 5 stars I have found a new relationship to an old movie., 20 Oct 2002
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Barefoot In The Park [VHS] [1967] (VHS Tape)
Paul Bratter and Corie are newly weds with all the problems of adjusting and helpful relatives. With their first apartment that is several flights up they must pass a large cat with a can opener.

Yep, I enjoyed this movie when it first came out. I could relate to the newly weds as many people start out in similar environments. This version of the play has spoiled me to the point that other attempts at "Barefoot in the Park" fall short of my expectations.

A part that I thought was funny but had no relationship to, was the "little pink pills" that Corie's mother (Mildred Natwick) had to take to handle the rich food and drink environment. Now I take little pink pills.

Does this mean that I am destined to end up in the Hotel National in Mexico City?
