For Pete's Sake is an okay little movie. Not really good but not bad either. It's the kind of thing you put on while you are busy cooking on a Sunday afternoon.
It's not one of Barbara Streisand's best films, but it's a quirky little farce about a young wife who'll do anything to finance her husband's dreams. Some of the plot twists are cute but others are just completely ridiculous (cattle rustlers???) I enjoyed the supporting cast of character actors, including Estelle Parsons who was the crazy Beverly Harris on ROSANNE. Truthfully, I could take or leave this movie...Eh'h.
The real reason I recommend this film is the clothes, I would watch it over and over to see the clothes. Barbara's smart but casual outfits are adorable! Oh, her nightgowns alone! I die! And the apartment!!! Gorgeous!!! I kept replaying the scene in the bathroom because the bathtub is so wonderful (with the mirror and the tile...). And her haircut!!! So cute and flattering! This is a very well dressed film...
