Up the Sandbox (1972)


National General Pictures
Directed by Irvin Kershner
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Bros)

Bored NYC housewife Barbara Streisand escapes from her everyday life through vivid fantasies. She joins central American revolutionaries, helps saboteurs blow up the Statue of Liberty, or makes a home movie in which everyone shows their true feelings. She has insecurities about her marriage to a history professor and struggles to tell him that she is pregnant again. Her last fantasy is the most vivid, which takes place in a hospital where women are going for abortions. Interesting, but a bit dated, and has a strange fascination with breasts.
