Up the Sandbox

Movie Review/First Published: Dec 1972

   

My High School Reviews
 
This was my second installment in what must have seemed like an endless string of Streisand film reviews during my high school years.
   

   
From December, 1972

My classmates were in for another unexpected treat, force-fed to them with my review of "Up The Sandbox." Apparently I was hell-bent on building a Barbra fan base in my little suburban hamlet. Thanks to my memorization of the television commercials for "Sandbox," and having dutifully read the novel (well over the head of any 16 year old) I was able to sprinkle my review with various nuggets of dialogue.

A clever journalistic device, I thought.
