Garp film faithful to Irving novel with charm
New York Times review notes The World According to Garp adapts John Irving's novel with alike strengths and flaws. George Roy Hill directs a capable film that remains faithful in spirit though pacing drifts and some scenes feel grafted. Williams Close Lithgow Hurt Kurtz deliver solid performances, especially Close as Garp’s driven mother.
