With a career spanning over 60 years, Robert Redford remains the ideal American actor: always effortlessly charming, but also thoughtful, curious, and grounded.
January's films each focus on a different facet of Redford's persona -- the Romantic Lead, the Social Conscience, the Homegrown Hero, and the Ringleader.
February wraps up this series with two of the most beloved buddy films ever made: his collaborations with the equally iconic Paul Newman, with the pair playing outlaws and con men, while remaining deeply, disarmingly likeable.

January 6: Barefoot in the Park
Written by Neil Simon and based on his own play, this romantic comedy sees Robert Redford and Jane Fonda as newlyweds in New York City. When uptight lawyer Paul (Redford) and free-spirited Corie (Fonda) get hitched and move into a tiny fifth-floor apartment, they find that pure passion (of which there's plenty) may not be enough for their marriage to persevere.
Redford's charm is on full display -- equal parts exasperated and romantic -- as he learns that sometimes lasting love means surrendering control.
"It is as hilarious and pleasantly zany a farce as it was in the howling stage success by Neil Simon, who also did the script for the film." —Myles Standish, St. Louis Post Dispatch
