Summary: No one could play the talented Fanny better than Barbra!!!
Review: Prior to watching "Funny Girl," I had no idea of who either Barbra or Fanny were. I felt the sentiment and meaning behind the movie (a sweet girl can't get all the breaks--it's either her own professional success on stage or a gambling husband) and am now both a Streisand and a Brice fan. This film is recommended to those either unsure of who the great Fanny Brice was or to those unaware of Barbra's unlimited talents. In reality, it's for all "people, people who need people." Shariff's performance was great as well, as was Kay Medford's, who played Fanny's mother Rose. Ziegfeld will make you laugh and remind you of your grandpa and Barbra will make you giggle and tear up because she is so innocent and yet has such defiance and strength, at least in the beginning. "I'd Rather Be Blue Over You," "My Man," "Don't Rain on My Parade," "People," and "I'm the Greatest Star" are some of the catchy musical numbers in the film. If you don't cry the first time you watch it, rewind it and figure out what you have missed. You'll find that Barbra truly does have "36 expressions," if not a couple more. Watch closely and you'll see them all. The characterizations she uses are amazingly timeless. She'll "light up like a light" in this biographical film. Enjoy.

Summary: Streisand's First, Streisand's Best
Review: Wow. One usually becomes a Streisand fan after seeing this movie. I certainly did. Streisand's movie debut begs the question: "Is a nose with deviation such a crime against the nation?" (sung by Fanny Brice's mother in the film). Barbra is Fanny is Barbra. When Streisand as Fanny tells Omar Shariff as Nick that he made her feel "beautiful", who can not love this woman?The new DVD includes a restored version of the film and an incredibly clear soundtrack. Unless you saw the limited theatrical release this summer, then you have probably never seen FUNNY GIRL in its widescreen presentation. For years I had watched a faded pan-and-scan VHS version. Barbra's hilarious business of straightening her dress in the "You Are Woman" scene is completely cut out in pan-and-scan! Director William Wyler shot the film with a lot of widescreen compositions that the pan-and-scan versions always butchered. Thank you, Columbia, for this restored, widescreen DVD! I remember watching THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT and seeing highlight clips from famous musicals. They showed "Don't Rain On My Parade" from FUNNY GIRL ...Barbra on the tug boat holding that note ("Paa-aa-raaaaaad-de") as the camera revealed the Statue of Liberty. I was thrilled. The DVD contains a theatrical short that shows behind the scenes footage of how they shot the entire "Parade" number -- really incredible footage! The movie's second act, a bit slow, gives Streisand the chance to show her acting chops! "My Man" at the movie's end features a "live" Streisand vocal as she cries on stage then triumphantly finishes. That scene won Barbra the Oscar. It is truly incredible. I am disappointed that the DVD did not include more of the scenes I've always heard about but never seen. The AFI tribute (on ABC earlier this year) remains the only place you can see scenes from the Swan Ballet number that were cut. Also, I wish there was a Streisand commentary. Can you imagine the reflections about making this film that she could share? People who see FUNNY GIRL are the luckiest people in the world.

Summary: BARBRA`S BEST MUSICAL
Review: They weren`t sure they wanted her for the movie("She`s so odd looking... even ugly at times") and the story tells that Barb had to submit herself to an extensive test on film in front of the Columbia executives...
It really is a vehicle for Barbra! She dominates the film completely and no other in the cast challanges her a bit. Even so, it is a good-looking film directed by Master William Wyler(but musical scenes directed by Herbert Ross) and though Barbra`s Fanny Brice is abnormally ambitous; she still manages us to feel for her, like her, admire her and above all... care for her...
It really is a must for drama-musical-lovers.
