Havana (DVD, 1990) Widescreen - Robert Redford, Lena Olin, Dir. Sydney Pollack

This is the Widescreen DVD of the 1990 romantic drama "Havana," directed by Sydney Pollack and starring Robert Redford and Lena Olin. This pre-owned disc is in very good condition.

Jack Weil (Redford), a cynical American professional gambler, travels to Havana, Cuba in late 1958, on the eve of the Cuban Revolution. He becomes entangled with Roberta Duran (Olin), the wife of a revolutionary aristocrat, while navigating the decadent and dangerous atmosphere of the city as Castro's forces close in.

Directed by Sydney Pollack (*Out of Africa*, *Tootsie*), "Havana" is an atmospheric and visually rich film that attempts to capture the glamour and turmoil of pre-revolutionary Cuba, drawing comparisons to *Casablanca*.

A must-see for fans of Robert Redford, Sydney Pollack, or epic historical romances. This Widescreen edition showcases the film's beautiful cinematography.

The film reunited Redford and Pollack after their huge success with *Out of Africa*. While not as acclaimed, "Havana" is noted for its ambitious recreation of 1950s Havana (filmed mostly in the Dominican Republic) and its score by Dave Grusin, which earned an Academy Award nomination.
