Kramer Vs. Kramer***
(US 1979)
Columbia. 104m.
An advertising executive is too involved with his work and his wife walks out on him, leaving his 7 year old son to deal with before the inevitable custody battle.
Compelling weepie, one of the best ever effective at depicting the difficulty of modern divorce and subsequent legal battles. Fairly elementary in production, shot around autumnal looking New York, but at its best where it matters: in direction, writing and performances.
Written and Directed by: Robert Benton, from the novel by Avery Corman.
Producer: Stanley R. Jaffe.
Starring: Dustin Hoffman, Justin Henry, Meryl Streep, Jane Alexander, Howard Duff, George Coe, JoBeth Williams.
Photography: Nestor Almendros.
Music: Various.
