Excellent story may have been true. Knew nothing of Lillian Hellman till now. Communistic views. Risky undertaking to smuggle money. If you Google her you will find out about controversy with her writing. Neat to see the steam locomotives.…

This story scared me then and it scares me even more today. The hatred and insanity of fascism lives on.

It's very hard to see what everyone was so excited about back in 1977. Julia was a prestige success that inadvertently led to the exposure of its story as more wishful thinking than fact. Lillian Hellman just had to aggrandize her part in…

The mutual love and admiration between the two women came through loud and clear as portrayed by Fonda and Redgrave (both just turned 81 and still very active in films). A good part of the movie involved an edge-of-the-seat train ride that…

Directed by Fred Zinnemann in 1977 based on the memoir "Pentimento" by Lillian Hellman, this American drama depicts both the tragedy of Julia and friendship between Lilly and Julia. Julia fought against the Nazis in the years prior to…

Great movie with a very good story. Keep yo on your toes until the end. Great performance of Jane Fonda and other actors. Worth it to watch.

When it comes to the likes of "Chick Flicks" - I'd confidently say that 1977's "Julia" rates as one from that particular genre that even men can enjoy. This well-crafted movie certainly does deliver some fine moments of…

Fictional portrayal of Jane Fonda supposedly playing Lillian Hellmann as a spy during WW2 , yawn it never happened. Move on.

Good performance by Jane Fonda. The beginning of the movie was slow but it got interesting when Lilian was tapped to smuggle the money to Julia and I was rooting for her not to get caught. I didn't feel that they developed the friendship…

A good performance by Jane Fonda but the movie was boring and slow moving, despite Vanessa Redgrave and the storyline.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. It is based on the true story of Lillian Hellman and her friend, Julia. I happen to think it is probably the best acting Jane Fonda ever did. The story is suspenseful and totally engrossing.

This 1977 film was nominated for 11 Academy Awards but sadly is mostly forgotten today. I found it to be a gripping drama filled with suspense and emotion. Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave give remarkable performances as the two leads. It…
