    Mem’ries,
    Light the corners of my mind
    Misty water-colored memories
    Of the way we were
    Scattered pictures,
    Of the smiles we left behind
    Smiles we gave to one another
    For the way we were
    Can it be that it was all so simple then?
    Or has time re-written every line?
    If we had the chance to do it all again
    Tell me, would we? Could we?
    Mem’ries, may be beautiful and yet
    What’s too painful to remember
    We simply choose to forget
    So it's the laughter
    We will remember
    Whenever we remember...
    The way we were...
    The way we were...

    The Way We Were》據阿琴.勞倫茨的小說改編,是好萊塢出品的愛情片中少數具有濃濃政治意味的作品,也是當時具有知識分子味道影片中的代表作。背景為美國50年代美蘇冷戰時期,劇情描寫芭芭拉.史翠珊 (Barbra Streisand)和羅伯特.雷德福(Robert Redford)兩位男(哈伯)女(凱蒂)主人公,一個是在校擔任青年政黨聯盟主席,另一個是熱中運動和寫作的才子,他們在大學校園相識,而到相知相愛,最後卻因為彼此間個性和政治立場的差異而分手。歷經多年后兩人再次重逢,回首往事,不勝感慨。雪梨.賽拉克(Sydney Pollack)在執導該片時,著重提升影片的思想性,巧妙地把時代氣氛與個人衝突加以揉合,欣賞起來也頗有回腸蕩氣之感。

      

    雖是愛情故事,背后卻又有嚴肅的政治議題。片中的時代正是人人自危的好萊塢白色恐怖時期。Arthur Laurents 執筆的劇本、Marvin Hamlisch 替本片譜寫的主題音樂雙雙榮獲最佳歌曲和配樂兩項奧斯卡獎,由芭芭拉史翠珊演唱的 "The Way We Were" 已成為經典曲目。
