Can love bridge the generation gap ?, 7 June 2004 Author: SanFranNiceRn (SanFranNiceRn@aol.com) from San Francisco I watched this film again today on AMC, and I find it to be an in-depth character study set in a time of a rapidly changing society, 1973.Breezy is a young, free spirited, outgoing hippy living on the streets of Los Angeles. Frank is a middle aged, roughened, hard drinking real estate salesman with an ex-wife and ex-girlfriend. They are total opposites. A chance meeting brings the two together. The relationship that ensues is one of turbulence, kindness, and complexities as the two attempt to merge their worlds.This is the third film directed by Clint Eastwood, the richness of the characters resembles that of Play Misty for Me. Of particular interest to fans of Clint Eastwood's work, and for people who remember the 70's.
