Robert Redford Bronson for Pollack's "This Property Is Condemned" (1966)—again as her lover, though this time in a film which achieved even greater success. The same year saw his first teaming (on equal footing) with Jane Fonda, in Arthur Penn's "The Chase". This film marked the only time Redford would star with Marlon Brando. Fonda and Redford were paired again in the popular big-screen version of "Barefoot in the Park" (1967) and were again co-stars much later in Pollack's "The Electric Horseman" (1979), followed 38 years later with a Netflix feature, "Our Souls at Night". After this initial success, Redford became concerned
Jane Fonda was good. At anything. It was a turning point in my life. I went to bed thinking about acting. I woke up thinking about acting. It was like the roof had come off my life!" Fonda's stage work in the late 1950s laid the foundation for her film career in the 1960s. She averaged almost two movies a year throughout the decade, starting in 1960 with "Tall Story", in which she recreated one of her Broadway roles as a college cheerleader pursuing a basketball star, played by Anthony Perkins. Frequent collaborator Robert Redford also made his debut in that film.
