Yeah this one came out of nowhere for me, when I started catching up on the musicals I had missed. I sat down with my wife to watch it and wasn't expecting much. I had no idea it was this good. It's just a really fun picture and a great musical. I never saw Streisand get the Oscar, so can't comment on that moment. Maybe I can find a clip of it somewhere.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656287096270976604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703076346434344743.post-85965695441104602532011-08-26T21:22:59.174-04:002011-08-26T21:22:59.174-04:00The passion can be felt on every word, Jon, and I ...The passion can be felt on every word, Jon, and I know you have maintained a high regard for this Wyler film, that showcases Babs in her finest role and film. I also like HELLO DOLLY among Streisand musicals, but this one is more polished and emotionally resonant. Many of the Streisand standards are here and their delivered to perfection by a singer at the peak of her powers. I never forgot that tie with Katherine Hepburn for the Oscar and Streisand's smug response on stage. But this is a class performance in a distinguished musical film.<br /><br />You've really written a marvelous piece here Jon.Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
