Tally Atwater has a dream: to be a prime-time network newscaster. She pursues this dream with nothing but ambition, raw talent and a homemade demo tape. Warren Justice is a brilliant, hard edged, veteran newsman. He sees Tally has talent and becomes her mentor. Tally’s career takes a meteoric rise and she and Warren fall in love. The romance that results is as intense and revealing as television news itself. Yet, each breaking story, every videotaped crisis that brings them together, also threatens to drive them apart...

i don’t even have anything thirsty to say. i’m just sad now.

look i can’t tell you much but, hey, robert redford gives a footjob, talks through journalism and gives pep talks in the most oddly seductive way ever, AND he’s aging in this. to say i had a good time is an understatement. i had a SPLENDID time. 

the plot was weaker, i suppose. i did feel a tad bored when robert wasn’t on screen at points but. eh. i can’t complain. it was okay. the ending made me miserable though so a star gets knocked off because of both of these things. 

i can’t tell if i was attracted to him or projecting my fatherly issues onto his character here. that’s something i’ll probably rewatch this again to figure out. 

kinda 50/50 on the plot. but twas a fantastic thirst watch

Every actor should study the look Redford gives Pfeiffer when she sings that song so badly. He doesn’t need words you see it all mapped out so clearly on his face. And what a face it was 💔
