Abstract
Barbara Streisand and Nick Nolte star in the stunning screen adaptation of Pat Conroy s best-selling novel, The Prince of Tides. Nolte is Tom Wingo, a disillusioned Southern coach who must reveal his tortured childhood in order to help his troubled sister. Streisand is Susan Lowenstein, the determined psychiatrist who battles Tom s resentment and rage in search of the truth. The Prince of Tides is a rich human story about love between men and women, parents and children, brothers and sisters and, ultimately the love of oneself. The film explores that love and its healing powers to accept, forgive, transform and liberate us from the pains and scars of the past. [description taken from cassette box]
