The Tamesis
it helps prince of tides, Based on Pat Conroy’s 1986 best-selling novel, South Carolina-born Nick Nolte and cantankerous Tom Wingo arrive in New York determined to hate it. But when he falls in love with his sister’s psychiatrist, Dr. Susan Lowenstein (Barbra Streisand, who also directed), he also falls in love with her noisy, unfriendly city. Soon, we see Wingo playing soccer in the park, strolling past the corner bookstore at 93rd and Madison Streets, saying a fond farewell in the bustling Grand Central Terminal, and slow dancing in the Rainbow Room.
