One sentence plot summary: A woman abandons her husband and son and then returns one year later seeking custody of her child.
Starring: Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Justin Henry, Jane Alexander, Howard Duff, George Coe, JoBeth Williams
Best of: Dustin Hoffman is sincere, lovable and easy to root for. Streep plays her role just complex enough not to fully hate.
Worst of: Vivaldi's Mandolin Concerto was a bit too chipper to really work as the theme. The arc of the story is very predictable.
Notable: Meryl Streep was originally offered only a bit part in the film. She went on to win her first Oscar for this role.
