Summary: Barbra and George are fantastic
Review: "The Owl and the Pussycat" is one of my favorite comedies of all time.I think Barbra and George Segal are fantastic.This is Streisands greatest acting job.She really got into the part.Barbra should have be nominated and won the Oscar for this film.Everyone talked about her doing such a risky movie.I also love George Segal.The film wouldn't be the same without him.It seems like all my favortie comedies has George Segal in them.When you think about it,there's only Barbra and George on screen.I even bought the soundtrack of "The Owl and the Pussycat," with Blood Sweat and Tears singing the theme song,but all the good parts with Barbra and George's greatest lines are on this album also.If you've never seen this movie,buy this video,but don't watch in on regular TV,all the great lines are cut out.

Summary: Romantic comedy at it's best!
Review: Doris (Barbra Streisand) is having a bad day. It's raining, she has no money, and now, because of the fact that she is a prostitute, she has been kicked out of her apartment. What does she do? Of course, she pays a vist to nerdy book clerk Felix (George Segal), who's snooping is responsible for her eviction.They argue, insult each other, and make so much noise that they both get booted onto the street. After a long, and sleepless, night, love begins to bloom (or expload) between them. But falling in love is a lot harder for these two than you might expect. While this is mostly a (great) dialogue film, Herbert Ross is able to direct Bill Manoff's play so well, it never seems tired or stagey. This is an amazing showcase for the talents of Streisand. In her first non-singing role, Barbra gives one of her funniest performances as the last name-changing Doris. Segal excels in his role as the snob/dweeb. This odd couple really creates chemistry (and sometimes friction). If you're looking for a special, non-traditional romantic comedy, look no more. This film has enough laughs for 10 films!

Summary: I'm with the critics -- DON'T CUT IT!!
Review: Enough reviewers have groused that the verdict is in -- The Owl and the Pussycat WAS a classic that rocked, until the idiot Babs and the Columbia scissor boys got hold of it. If I were Buck Henry, I'd be angry. The majority of people who would be interested in this film ALREADY SAW IT in our relative youth. That means we saw Babs nude and we heard the "F" word that had everyone talking, as she tells off a bunch of moochers. More than a few of us need to give Columbia a piece of our minds. This is unconscionable. The nude scene was NOT destroyed, it was BLOCKED from the collar bone down (she was laying in Barney's bed, asking "Whatdaya think?" just before Felix joined her. It still exists in the vault. I own a copy with the "F" word intact, and in context, it only makes it funny. COLUMBIA, NOW HEAR THIS: GIVE US THIS FILM IN ITS ORIGINAL FORM, OR GIVE US NOTHING!!

Summary: OWL & THE PUSSYCAT DVD CENSORED???
Review: Finally, one of the funniest STREISAND films Comes to DVD, unfortunately in a PG-EDITED version! Why can't Columbia picture heads let us decide what we can and cannot see? I own the almost unedited R rated VHS copy, and waited for years for it's widescreen DVD debut. Much to my dismay, it finally comes out EDITED!!!! WHY??? Because i wanted the widescreen version i plopped down my $25.00 for it anyway. Transfer is great and i highly recommend this DVD if you don't mind Corporate Censorship! Shame on Columbia Pictures DVD, do they honestly think someone underage will shell out for a movie they probably never heard of?

Summary: Owl Falls Flat
Review: I was dissapointed when I watched this in DVD format.....It has been edited from the Original version of which I saw when it first hit the Big Screen and later on VHS. There was no mention of this in the techical information portion. I wouldn't of bought it if I had known, and once opened, I couldn't return it. I felt I was Robbed. Usually the DVD is so much better than VHS because it Adds so much More information and Extras....Not this time........I am confused to WHY they edited it to begin with....The movie stood on it Laurels for All these years and now they decide to "soften" it........Very unacceptable!
