On this day in 1973, COLUMBIA PICTURES released THE WAY WE WERE. Directed by SYDNEY POLLACK from a script by ARTHUR LAURENTS, this sweeping romantic drama told the story of a doomed relationship over the course of several decades. Beautifully shot, written and performed, it remains one of the all-time great tear-jerkers. The all-star cast included BARBRA STREISAND, ROBERT REDFORD, BRADFORD DILLMAN, LOIS CHILES, PATRICK O’NEAL and VIVECA LINDFORS.
