Prince of Tides, The

The package includes Vision And Versions: The Making Of The Prince Of Tides, an exclusive interactive documentary following the production of the film, with extra material including screenplay excerpts, audition and rehersal video, behind-the-scenes video, alternate versions fo key scenes, de-leted scenes, costume and makeup tests, interviews, production photos, storyboards theatrical trailer and teaser trailer and more. A highlight is the theme song that never was, “Places That Belong To You,” sung by Streisand over alternate credits. Perhaps the most informative part is a presentation of three finales, out of which the final version was created. With 70 chapter stops this is a project to peruse for hours.

Pat Conroy’s best-selling novel is brought to the screen by Streisand, whose heavy hand is evident throughout. Nolte tries mightily (with a fake Southern accent no less) to play a disillusioned football coach who has to come to grips with the residue of his dysfunctional family. Barbra, Barbra, Barbra.
