"Screen favorites Paul Newman (Road To Perdition) and Joanne Woodward (Philadelphia) star as a well-off couple who raise their children in the comfort of country club society, only to find their control over the family's fate slipping away. Daughter Ruth (Kyra Sedgwick-Behind the Red Door) leaves for the artistic bohemia of New York, more conventional Carolyn marries the 'wrong sort' of man, and brother Douglas (Robert Sean Leonard-Driven) joins the army. In an empty house, the Bridges' marriage shifts. Mr. Bridge grows more rigid. But Mrs. Bridge begins to wonder if her husband really loves her. Directed by James Ivory (A Room With A View, Howards End), Mr. & Mrs. Bridge offers a wryly emotional portrait of a marriage as it rides the tumultuous changes of 1930s and '40s America."--Container.
