BATH — Patten Free Library’s “Tell It to the Judge” film series continues on March 5 with “Kramer vs. Kramer.”
Show time is 6:30 p.m. in the library’s community room. Refreshments are provided. All films are free and open to the public.
Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep star in this winner of five Academy Awards in 1979. “Kramer vs. Kramer” is a ground-breaking drama about the heartbreak of divorce and the struggle between work and family. Young husband and father Ted Kramer (Hoffman) loves his family and his job, which is where he spends most of his time. When he returns home late one evening from work, his wife, Joanna (Streep), confronts him and then leaves him, forcing Ted to become the sole caregiver to their 6-year-old son. Now Ted must learn to be a father while balancing the demands of his high-pressure career. But just as Ted adapts to his new role and begins to feel like a fulfilled parent, Joanna returns. And now she wants her son back.
