WHAT ABOUT GREAT SCREEN ROMANCES AND DOMINANT CHARACTER RELATIONSHIPS?

THE WAY WE WERE (1973) - ROBERT REDFORD + BARBRA STREISAND
ROBERT+BARBRA - Jasus flagged the combination with "Love" but also with MEL+GIBSON "Riggs" terms: Enthusiasm, Stubborn, Hot-Tempered, Volatile, Mood swings. ROBERT+BARBRA was in perfect sync with the story line: Dissimilar persons enjoy a breathtaking romance but their political persuasions and obstinate convictions thrust them apart.
