Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover
Presenting "The Barbra Streisand Collection," featuring three of the two-time Academy Award winner's best romantic dramas and comedies. In "The Way We Were" (1973), Streisand and Robert Redford play a star-crossed couple whose marriage is put to the test during the turbulent years of the Hollywood blacklist. Her compelling performance earned Streisand a well-deserved Oscar nomination as Best Actress. In "The Prince of Tides" (1991), a psychiatrist (Streisand) falls in love with a suicidal patient's equally troubled brother (Nick Nolte). Expertly directed by Streisand herself, the film received seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. And in "The Mirror Has Two Faces" (1996), Streisand not only stars as a plain Jane whose extreme makeover puts a little romance into her marriage to Jeff Bridges, bur directed and co-wrote the Oscar-nominated song, "I Finally Found Someone," as well.

Product Description
The Mirror has Two Faces
Rose Morgan (Barbra Streisand), who still lives with her mother (Lauren Bacall), is a professor of Romantic Literature who desperately longs for passion in her life. Gregory Larkin (Jeff Bridges) a mathematics professor, has been burned by passionate relationships and longs for a sexless union based on friendship and respect. They're two people with almost nothing in common, but Fate in the form of a personal ad and a meddling sister brings them together. And without physical attraction to complicate matters, Rose and Greg become best friends and soon agree to an unconventional marriage builton intellectual passion instead of sexual heat. But when two people meet, marry, try to remain celibate and then fall in love they realize they are courting chaos. Directed by Streisand and co-starring Pierce Brosnan, George Segal, Mimi Rogers and Brenda Vaccaro, The Mirror has Two Faces explores our modern myths of sex and beauty with a brilliant combination of humor and poignancy that makes it "the year's best romantic comedy". (Jim Ferguson, Prevue Channel)

Prince of Tides
Barbra Streisand and Nick Nolte star in the stunning screen adaptation of Pat Conroy's best-selling novel, the Prince of Tides. Nolte is Tom Wingo, a disillusioned Southern coach who must reveal his tortured childhood in order to help his suicidal sister. Streisand is Susan Lowenstein, the determined psychiatrist who battles Tom's resentment and rage in search of the truth. Their antagonism gradually gives way to love, as Tom and Susan find the secret that unlocks his sister's torment and the courage to change their own lives. Critically acclaimed as the best movie of the year, the Prince of Tides was hailed by Jeffrey Lyons as a blockbuster, must-see, can't-miss movie. Streisand also won rave reviews as director, assembling a superlative supporting cast that includes Blythe Danner, Kate Nelligan, Jeroen Krabb.

The Way We Were
Screen legends Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford make movie magic as the captivating star-crossed lovers, Hubbell Gardiner and Katie Morosky. Theirs is a classic love story sparked by the attraction of opposites, played out against the backdrop of American life during times of foreign war, domestic prosperity and McCarthy-era paranoia in Hollywood. Winner of two 1974 Academy Awards(r) (Best Song "The Way We Were" and Best Score), this special 25th Anniversary Edition of the The Way We Were has been digitally remastered so you can enjoy this romantic epic the way it was meant to be seen and heard.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3 Excellent "Babs" Films, February 9, 2005

By	P. Blay "Yankee Blay" (Eastern Shore, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A very well put together collection. I'm glad Paramount is using the slimmer DVD binders in their multiple collection sets. The sound quality for "The Mirror Has Two Faces" and "The Way We Were" is excellent. I don't understand why "The Prince of Tides" only has 2 channel sound. Picture quality for "The Prince of Tides" and "The Way We Were" is pretty good. My only real complaint about this set is that "The Mirror Has Two Faces" is full screen even though the packaging indicates a 1.85:1 aspect ratio. I already had owned these 3 films seperatly and only got this so I could have MHTF in widescreen. :( Overall,.. I am still happy with my purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars disappointed, February 11, 2005

By	Deanne Davis-Crist (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Babs is the greatest but this collection was a disappointment...The packaging was superb but how could Barbara let any collection go out & not be in Widescreen? Any Movie worth watching HAS to be in widescreen..this doesn't even have the option of either/or. I'll be extremely carefully about what I order frome her collection again

5.0 out of 5 stars 3 classics from Streisand, March 20, 2005

By	Jake Z "holden84" (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This is a nice value packed DVD with three of Barbra Streisand's movies. This includes THE WAY WE WERE (1973), THE PRINCE OF TIDES (1991) and THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES (1996).

She stars opposite Robert Redford in THE WAY WE WERE, a movie which won Academy Awards for Best Score and Best Song ("The Way We Were") in 1973, she was also nominated for Best Actress. It's an interesting movie, and great love story, about two star crossed lovers whose marriage is tested during turbulent times.

In THE PRINCE OF TIDES she acts opposite Nick Nolte. Barbra directed this movie. In this movie she plays a psychiatrist who falls in love with one of her patient's brother. THe movie was nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture.

In THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES, she stars along with Jeff Bridges in a nice romantic comedy. Streisand directed, produced and came up with the concept of the movie and co-wrote the Oscar nominated song "I Finally Found Someone" (duet with Bryan Adams. The movie is about two professors who become best friends and decide to marry unconventionally without sex to complicate things. However, things get complicated when she realizes she needs passion in her life, and that friendship just isn't enough.

Overall three great movies in a value packed DVD collection! Streisand is more than a capable actress, and these are great movies to add to your collection. Well worth the money!
