The World According to Garp - Original Theatrical Trailer
Robin Williams plays John Irving's quirky everyman, a wistful writer wrestling with our screwloose modern age. Award-winning performances by Glenn Close and John Lithgow.When Robin Williams played T.S. Garp in The World According to Garp, two totally original icons met: a leading comic actor of our time and the character whose loopy adventures made John Irving’s novel a literary milestone and runaway bestseller. Fans of Williams’ dramatic work in Dead Poets Society and his Oscar® winning performance in Good Will Hunting will also savor his Garp, a sweet-natured writer whose life is a weird minefield of violence, adultery, fatherhood, feminism and eerie coincidence. Glenn Close (in her film debut) as Garp’s formidable mother and John Lithgow as a transgender ex-NFL receiver give impressive support, earning Oscar® nominations and critics’’ laurels galore. Their collaboration is “one helluva magnificent movie” (Bernard Few, Gannett Newspapers).
