Academy Award® winner Richard Dreyfuss (1977, Best Actor, The Goodbye Girl) and Amy Irving (Carrie) are two classically trained concert pianists who find themselves both competing for one of the most prestigious awards in the music world. The last thing they need in their lives is to fall in love, but when they do, how will it affect the greatest professional moment of their lives? Also featuring Academy Award® nominee Lee Remick (1962, Best Actress, Days of Wine and Roses), THE COMPETITION is a delightful romantic comedy about two people who know how to perform on the world's biggest stage, but not when they are alone with each other. Newly remastered.
