Kramer Vs. Kramer
1979
***½
Director: Robert Benton
Cast: Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Jane Alexander, Justin Henry, George Coe
A well-acted and sharply written but overly sentimental drama about a man whose wife leaves him to raise their son alone. Hoffman and Streep both won Oscars for their solid but unspectacular performances, as did the picture, the screenplay and the director.
