Description

Academy Award® winner Richard Dreyfuss (1977, Best Actor, The Goodbye Girl) and Amy Irving (Carrie) are two classically trained concert pianists who find themselves both competing for one of the most prestigious awards in the music world. The last thing they need in their lives is to fall in love, but when they do, how will it affect the greatest professional moment of their lives? Also featuring Academy Award® nominee Lee Remick (1962, Best Actress, Days of Wine and Roses), The Competition is a delightful romantic comedy about two people who know how to perform on the world’s biggest stage, but not when they are alone with each other.

  • An Undeserving Jerk. And Yet...

    Even though Richard Dreyfuss plays a sexist, unappealing, undeserving jerk, I've always liked this movie. The music is great, the actors do a credible job with the keyboards, the storyline is appealing and Lee Remick is great. It's an amazing window into how far we've come in male-female relationships since this film was made. There always seemed to be something hidden with the Remick character, which appealed to me. Yes, it's dated in many ways, but still worth a look.
