About the Program

Celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of The Way We Were! Opposites attract when Katie Morosky (Barbra Streisand), a politically active Jew, marries Hubbell Gardiner (Robert Redford), a feckless WASP. The two prosper in Los Angeles, but as the Hollywood Blacklist looms, Katie's activism threatens her husband's screenwriting career.

With its beautiful score, script by Blacklist-impacted writer Arthur Laurents, and unforgettable leading performances, this classic film honors those who fought against censorship and oppression during the Hollywood Red Scare.

Directed by Sydney Pollack. (1973, 118 min. Rated PG.)

Arrive early to view the exhibitions! This film set during the lead-up to the Blacklist is the perfect complement to the exhibition Blacklist: The Hollywood Red Scare. And don't miss Peter Krasnow: Breathing Joy and Light and Visions and Values while you're here.
