DVD Reviews of Funny Girl

DVD Review: Funny Girl
Summary: 5 Stars

Everything was fine. Disc arrived in a timely manner and in excellent condition. I would purchase from this vendor again.

DVD Review: The Ugly Duckling And The Con Man
Summary: 4 Stars

I recently rewatched FUNNY GIRL for the first time in perhaps twenty years. And though I still think it is a fine film I was not as charmed by it as I was in my earlier days. Maybe I've read too much about the real Fanny Brice and Nick Arnstein and found out how very sanitized Arnstein's life story was for the Broadway musical and this film that is quite closely adapted from it. For whatever reason I did not find Omar Sharif's portrayal of the handsome gambler Nick as breathtaking in this viewing and I actually found his accent annoying. At any rate the film is still a must see for musical lovers and those like me with an interest in entertainment history though the viewer should be very aware of the great deal of license taken in retelling this bittersweet love story. And Streisand of course was young and at her full powers in her star making role as Fanny that still seems positively tailor made for her voice, looks and screen presence.

This is a very good movie. It is so easy to be able to order old movies and enjoy them again and again,

DVD Review: STREISAND AT HER BEST
Summary: 5 Stars

This is Barbra Steisand 1st film which brought her an oscar for best actress and boy did she deserve it. The songs are classic the love story touching the directing brilliant and at the end when Ms Streisand sings My Man like WOW that made her a star.

DVD Review: wildly entertaining
Summary: 5 Stars

The is a bit personal, but my mother has dementia and can't enjoy most videos any more because they are hard to understand or follow. I thought she might enjoy Funny Girl because of the wonderful and fun music. She really did. Barbra Streisand's expressions and emotions are over the top and enjoyable for all.

Description of Funny Girl

Only her mother believes fanny can make it in show business. When she gets her first break at keeneys music hall her hilarious debut as a rollerskating chorus girl gets her hired as a comedienne. A year later fanny is working for florenz ziegfeld in his famous follies and brings the house down.

Ah, Barbra. Of all her onscreen personas, she sparkles in none as she does in her role as 1930s comedian Fanny Brice in the musical Funny Girl. Portraying the life of this star of stage and radio, Brice preens and prances and sings, captivating her audience both onscreen and off. Fanny Brice started life on the Lower East Side of New York, the daughter of a Jewish saloon owner. Not the prettiest girl around, Brice still managed to quickly rise to stardom as a performer in the Ziegfield Follies. A shrewd, obstinate woman, Brice dictated her own success story on stage; things were a different matter in romance. Falling hard for the stunning Nick Arnstein (suavely played by Omar Sharif), Brice must navigate a difficult marriage. While kids may love the tunes (which include the now-infamous "People," as in "People who need people are the luckiest people in the world"), the plot is definitely adult-oriented. Enjoy this one, but don't go too far out of your way for the sequel, Funny Lady. --Jenny Brown
