This award-winning film is sensitive, atmospheric and often suspenseful. It recounts early adventures in the life of American playwright Lillian Hellman (Jane Fonda), notably those concerning her childhood friend Julia, who became involved in resistance against the Nazis in the Thirties. Vanessa Redgrave is exceptionally good as Julia and Jason Robards is a treat as Lillian's companion Dashiell Hammett - both performances were rightly rewarded with Oscars. Meryl Streep has her first movie role.
