I re-watched the Way We Were last night and came away with these thoughts. It is visually a very well made movie and Redford and Streisand are both very good and have great on screen chemistry. It is at the end of the day a good love story.
However the story is very uneven. I felt the second half of the movie was not nearly as good as the first. Some of the motivations for Katie and Hubell didn't always make sense and seem to be over done. Hubell no really wanting to see his baby or have anything to do with it at the end painted him to be a little bit of a jerk which is not the best way to end it.
