The adaptation of The Prince of Tides (1991) to film probably remains the most famous movie to grow from any of Conroy's novels. This highly successful film version earned Nick Nolte an Oscar nomination and also featured Barbra Streisand as co-star, producer, and director. Although the movie could not possibly portray all the incidents and characters of the book, those presented remain faithful to Conroy's concept. Both Nick Nolte as Tom and Barbra Streisand as Susan present riveting portrayals of the complex main characters.
