Kelley and Jeroen Krabbe...
...unemployed football coach and tormented modern male, he is summoned to New York because his sister Savannah, a poet, has again attempted suicide. It develops, of course, that her psychiatrist, Susan Lowenstein (played not entirely believably by the director), has a life as miserable as Tom's. Her husband (Jeroen Krabbe) is a cold, egomaniacal concert violinist, her son (played well by Streisand's real-life son Jason Gould) the victim of the Golden Boy syndrome, torn between the violin and a rough sport (in this case football...
There is no salvation for Irving in Director Joan Micklin Silver's Crossing Delancey. The star, playing a Manhattan bookstore manager named Isabelle Grossman, is made to look tired and behave with moral myopia.

Bullets perforate every...

The trouble is his movie is mostly banal, the stuff of arrested adolescence. It contains obsessively recurring images: woman as spider, devouring her mate once she has lured him to sexual consummation; woman as elusive Madonna, offering salvation to wayward boys if only they can catch her attention; campy sacrilege committed on Catholic iconography gloomy reflections on the artist's unhappy lot in a staid bourgeois society, with particular reference to Holland, where the audience is uneconomically small...
