Continental Divide

Continental Divide (1981) is a romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Ernie Souchak, a tough Chicago newspaperman, makes the wrong enemies in town, so his editor ships him off to the Colorado high country to cool down.

The assignment only sounds easy: profile Nell Porter, an ornithologist who has spent years alone in the mountains tracking bald eagles. A city cynic and a woman wedded to the wilderness clash at every turn — and then fall for each other anyway. John Belushi trades his wild-man image for something softer and worn-in, with Blair Brown more than matching him beat for beat. Lawrence Kasdan's screenplay hands the romance a wry, slightly aching edge. Stream Continental Divide online on iFILM.
