...together at last. But in modern America, where the rich--nouveau spendthrifts aside--are careful not to act rich, and the poor think they're middle class, and therefore have no hesitation about aspiring above their stations, this plot doesn't work anymore. Instead, we have items like The Mirror Has Two Faces, where the thing keeping Gregory Larkin (Jeff Bridges) and Rose Morgan (Barbra Streisand) apart is, of all things, the celibate ideal...

And Streisand is a terrific presence, but also a performer who never forgets who she really is.

MOVIES . . . THE MIRROR HAS TWO FACES: Two Columbia professors, Gregory Larkin (Jeff Bridges) and Rose Morgan (Barbra Streisand), are caught in the grip of a really dumb idea. He thinks all his problems derive from his inability to stay out of the beds of sexually desirable but otherwise destructive women. He decides instead to form a companionate liaison with a woman who is his mental equal, but is otherwise -- how to put this gently? -- a bowwow. Rose, we are to understand, is so desperate that she goes along with him, thinking that once they're married, his resistance...
