Barefoot in the Park A revival production toured the United Kingdom in 2012. The cast included Maureen Lipman, Faye Castelow, Dominic Tighe, and Oliver Cotton. The play was directed by Lipman in partnership with Peter Cregeen. Corie and Paul Bratter are a newlywed couple. For their first home, they live in an apartment on the top floor of a brownstone in New York City. During the course of four days, the couple learns to live together while facing the usual daily ups-and-downs. Corrie wants Paul to become more easy-going: for example, to run "barefoot in the park." Simon adapted his play for a 1967
Robert and Raymond Hakim with "À double tour" (1959) and "Les Bonnes Femmes" (1960), but worked with older directors (Luis Buñuel "Belle de jour" 1968) sometimes relatively new to international audiences (Michelangelo Antonioni "L'Eclisse" 1962). They also worked with Roger Vadim on a remake of "La Ronde" (1964), which starred Vadim's then wife, Jane Fonda. The Hakim's have a mixed reputation; American director Joseph Losey had an especially fraught relationship with them while making "Eva" (1962). In post-production, Losey and his team found the film had been recut during the weekend without their consultation; Losey and Robert Hakim almost came to blows. Michel Legrand
