Barefoot in the Park

A proper 1960s comedy from an optimistic America. Plus it features two actor stars – Robert Redford and Jane Fonda in a stage play adapted as a movie, which I think could become completely different with every next take, and still manage to entertain. The reason is simple – this premise could give birth to an infinite number of funny dialogues. A wonderful comedy! (25/01/2015)

A funny comedy that does not deny its theatrical origin, thanks to which it has top-notch dialogues, and is well-cast with the popular duo of Robert Redford and Jane Fonda. Both of them enjoy their roles, and they are skillfully supported by a team of assistants in the supporting roles. It is a comedy about a young immature marriage that faces its first real problems when arranging their first home and has a number of quality gags and classic lines. Overall impression: 80%.

I saw Barefoot in the Park as a play at the theater I don’t even want to know how many years ago, but I still remember what great fun it was. I'd been avoiding this film until today, which was a shame. Once again, I had a great time with the stiff Paul and goofy Corie in their almost spacious apartment almost on the ground floor. And just like in the play, I appreciated the arrival of Victor and Ethel, who pushed the plot and humor in the right direction. The film was certainly not an amazing work of art, but it worked well as a conversational comedy even after all these years. (04/03/2019)
