 | "The Owl and the Pussycat" is a racy, raucous comedy about an unlikely romance between two self-deluded opposites. Barbra Streisand -- in her first non-singing role -- is Doris Wilgus, a streetwise, foul-mouthed hooker who claims to be a "model and an actress." George Segal is Felix Sherman, a snobby, repressed bookstore clerk posing as a writer. Streisand and Segal work magically as a team, and their comic chemistry (along with the fast and witty dialogue) is what makes the film so hilarious. Although the DVD contains an edited version of this 1970 classic, you'll still find a winning combination in "The Owl and the Pussycat." |

| I was really shocked and disappointed to find this DVD had been cut... this was one of the best films I saw in the 70's. I also discovered that another great movie, "Goodbye Columbus," has been edited down to a PG since its release on DVD with the original nude scenes deleted. I'm encouraging people NOT to buy or rent these DVD's and to write the studios and complain... it's bad enough that Columbia and Paramount have ruined their own product, but they didn't even have the courtesy to notify buyers that they weren't purchasing the original films. I agree with another reviewer here... we're being robbed. |

| This movie is absolutely adorable! Barbra Streisand is a way better actress than singer! In this movie, she's a prostitute who teaches a tight-cheeked man about freedom and love. This movie is better than Pretty Woman! |

| 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!! |

| I've loved this movie ever since I was a kid, and very first release on VHS is R rated for language, so I was shocked to find the DVD is an edited version!!! Are the republicans at it again? Is it because Streisand is a democrat? All kidding aside, I'm very disappointed in this small but important omission. Strange that it was done. Columbia-Tristar sure makes a lot of goofs!! They have missed widescreen on some releases I have purchased from them, and now this!!!! Get it together, guys!!! Only 4 stars because of this error. |
