"A perfect film!" -Rex Reed
This critically acclaimed, multi-award-winner features Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward as Mr. And Mrs. Bridge, a clean-cut Kansas City couple who find their traditional roles challenged by a changing world. As adventurous, free-thinking friends introduce new ideas into their household, Mrs. Bridge begins to question the life she has led, and one by one her children leave home - but not for the lives she wished for them. Daughter Ruth (Kyra Sedgwick) heads for New York to become an actress, while son Douglas (Robert Sean Leonard) quits school to join the army air corps, and their youngest daughter Carolyn becomes infatuated with an unacceptable suitor. Mrs. Bridge feels as if the world she built with her husband is crumbling brick by brick, but Mr. Bridge remains resolute, a firm believer in the family and his place at the head of its table.

Walter Bridge (Paul Newman)is an ultra conservative,dominant husband who treats his wife as one would a piece of furniture. He is smug, self righteous, totally unaware of the feelings of his family. India Bridge,played to perfection by Joanne Woodward, is kind, eager to please, but down trodden by her husband and not shown any respect by her children. It has to be said, Walter Bridge is not unlike many men of the 30's,40's and 50's. He does care for his family and isn't violent or a bully - he j
