Well, Mark. Everyone who lives in Bloomington, Indiana, loves _Breaking Away_ and I'm no exception. However, I wouldn't exactly call the women's roles memorable. I hardly remember the two younger women, Kathy and Nancy (played by Robyn Douglass and Amy Wright). Barbara Barrie, who played Dennis Christopher's mom, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. But the central focus of the movie was the relationships among the young men. I found the women peripheral to the issues explored in the movie. Kristine Brancolini Indiana University
