Fishko Files | Dec 5, 2019

The film Marriage Story starts streaming on Netflix today. It was in December 1979 that another well-acted, thoughtful film about divorce opened to mostly raves for its writer-director, Robert Benton - who is Sara Fishko's guest on this edition of Fishko Files.

Kramer vs. Kramer, Places in the Heart, and many other Benton films are available on Amazon.
