Up the Sandbox

Streaming video - 1974

Barbra Streisand stars as Margaret Reynolds, a young Manhattan wife and mother of two children, pregnant with her third, who escapes into a vivid fantasy life rather than confront her life or find the courage to tell her husband she is pregnant again in this comic drama. The line between dream and reality blurs as Margaret shares a passionate affair with Fidel Castro, bombs the Statue of Liberty, and journeys deep into unexplored Africa where she is captured by a tribe of warriors who have mastered the secret of painless childbirth.Based on the novel by Anne Richardson Roiphe.
