Review

Friendship is one of the basic human relationships, next only to family in primacy, and its intricacies, rewards, and disappointments make for the drama and sentiment of Four Friends (1981). Longtime master craftsman Arthur Penn directed this heartfelt chronicle of unconditional love overcoming conditional affection. A quartet of 1950s high-school kids (a Yugoslavian immigrant, his two stalwart wingmen, and the free-loving archetypal liberated chick who has captured the hearts of all three boy-men) is tracked into the turbulent 1960s, through the me-generation of the 1970s, and left at the dawn of the greedy 1980s. Their individual and personal stories encapsulate the plight of the first post-War American generation and put a beating heart into history.
