 | Barbara is Fabulous and spectacular. Her stellar and flawless performance as Dolly Levi is a classic. |

| Barbra is a miscast Dolly Levi to the woefully miscast Walter Mattheau, a very young Michael Crawford and Tommy Tune round the miscasting, that being said.. it works!!! fun for a rainy day |

| Like a meticulously crafted Swiss watch, this visually stunning musical comedy neither skips a beat, loses momentum, nor hits a note that is less than spectacular. An incredibly detailed and inspired production, this film is the fruit of multiple mastery and creativity, genius and the professional acumen of veteran pros (the best and the brightest): Ernest Lehman, Gene Kelly, Michael Kidd, Irene Sharaff, John DeCuir, Lennie Hayton, Harry Stradling, William Reynolds, etc.
To her credit, and incomparable comedic talent and singing ability, Miss Streisand commands every frame in which she appears; and she reigns supreme in every sequence, as she masterfully elevates and enlivens each large-scale production number. And, while she has never (verbally) embraced or lauded this role/film, she is, nonetheless, resplendent, charming and incredibly ingratiating as THE matchmaker par excellence.
Like every element in this meticulously crafted film, the supporting cast is uniformly outstanding and brilliant in their respective roles. What more can be said - it's a gem! |

| Everytime I watch this movie, I am amazed at the superb quality of Barbra's voice. At only twenty seven she is a real treasure. For anyone who loves Barbra - what can I say? It is definantly a gorgeous young woman who steals the stage time and time again on this merry romp.
Not at all like Carol Channing, Striesand adds a sexy new dimension to Dolly. Everyone seems to fit together beautifully, though I was dissappointed to learn about the tension and hatred between Mathhau and Striesand. (The smiles seem to forced at the very end, when Matthau is singing to her.) If you want a young, talented and Vivacious Barbra - look no more. |
