This newly restored Criterion Collection version has given me a new opportunity to see this film, which I first saw in the theatres in 1981. When it was released in 1981, everybody was talking about these newer highly acclaimed actors Meryl Street and Jeremy Irons. It is the story of two Hollywood actors making a new film and we actually get to see the personal lives of the actors and interspersed we get to see the film that they are making. And in one short scene, we get too see them as actors practicing some of the lines of the film they are making. In 1981, Irons played 11 straight weeks on Brideshead Revisited and in 1982 Streep would win an Oscar for her magnificent Portrayal of Sophie in Sophie’s Choice.
