STARRING:
Barbara Streisand is a knockout as Dolly Levi, the woman "who arranges things...like furniture and daffodils and lives." The famed plot concerns Dolly, a young widow and a professional matchmaker who sets her sights on conquering tight-fisted Yonkers merchant, Horace Vandergeider, beautifully played by Walter Matthau. Over $20,000,000 was spent on DOLLY and you can see and hear every penny. The painstakingly re-created streetcars, shops, skyscrapers and town itself (circa 1900), the magnificent Harmonia Garden set. Irene Sharaff's colour-splashed costumes, Jerry Herman's hummungly tuneful direction. So, spend a magical evening with the incomparable Barbara - and see what great musicals are all about.
(Radio Times Film Guide Review)
"This lavish Fox movie version of the long-running Broadway hit is a wondrous treat under Gene Kelly's expert direction. Indeed, it now looks like the virtual last gasp of the great era of costly Hollywood musicals. Among the twinkling, shining stars are Britain's own Michael Crawford and the man who had taken the title song to number one in the US charts five years earlier, Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong. The design, use of colour and, particularly, the marvelous score are quite breathtaking, and the film Won 3 Oscars®."
