In this delightfully sparkling comedy, Barbra Streisand stars as Rose, a lecturer in Romantic Literature, but with no romance of her own. Gregory Larkin (Jeff Bridges) longs for a platon partner he can respect yet maintain a safe physical distance from. Set up by Rose's sister, Greg and Rose meet... and sparks fly. Forming a different marital arrangement in which brain power replaces sexual heat, they soon find unexpected passion getting in their way!
