So remarkable a woman was Israeli prime minister Golda Meir that Valerie Harper found in portraying Meir a challenge to her resources that would take her to new creative heights. Harper becomes Meir--and all the other people in this film...a splendid adaptation by writer William Gibson...with director Jeremy Paul Kagan creating a stunning, stylized background panorama...toevoke Meir's incredibly dynamic life...framed in the crical days of the 1973 Yom Kippur war...Harper and Golda's Balcony generate tremendous influence and timeless meaning.
