Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
When a psychiatrist (Yves Montand) begins talking to a young woman (Barbra Streisand), he realizes that she can recall a past life while under hypnosis. Although this brash New Yorker is thoroughly modern and somewhat abrasive, he becomes fascinated by the 19th-century English woman who speaks through her. This oddball musical flicks back and forth between period flashbacks and modern times, which may be one reason it never builds up much power in either realm. On a Clear Day You Can See Forever failed at the box office in 1970, one of a number of glossy musicals that could not find an audience in the post-Easy Rider movie world. In fact, one of the film's out-of-place costars is Jack Nicholson, a symbol of the new movies that were making old-fashioned musicals a thing of the past. It didn't help that Paramount severely cut On a Clear Day before releasing it. For all that, the picture is enjoyable and--at the end--really quite touching. Director Vincente Minnelli (Meet Me in St. Louis), then near the close of a fabulous career, maintains his usual careful eye for colour and design, and keeps Streisand relatively restrained--for Streisand, that is. --Robert Horton

Synopsis
When Daisy decides to give up smoking with the help of psychiatrist Chabot, the hypnotherapy proves that Daisy has lived before. Conducted by Nelson Riddle, with lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reincarnation . What an interesting concept !, 16 Sep 2000
On A Clear Day is a brilliant mixture of a gripping storyline, fascinating characters and marvelous actors . The story is about Daisy Gamble , played by the magnificent Barbara Streisand , a cigarette addict who goes to a hypnotist , played by Yves Montande , in order to stop smoking . She couldn't have possibly known that by going to the hypnotist her life would forever be changed . By coincidence , the hypnotist discovers that within Daisy Gamble lies Melinda , one of the past lives of daisy Gamble . Daisy and Melinda possess psychic powers , the only difference is that Melinda's powers are much more advanced then Daisy's . Throughout the movie there are fabulous songs . One of the things I found most enjoyable is the huge difference between Melinda , who is a charismatic and elegant woman , and Daisy who has no personality . To conclude , brilliant performances ( by Barbra Streisand , Yves Montande and Jack Nicholson ) and a gripping storyline . In short a movie YOU WILL NEVER FORGET.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a delightfully entertaining film, buy it!, 19 Mar 2001
Barbra Streisand is stunning in this fun filled film. Barbra plays a smoking addict with supernatural powers. She discovers she has lived many previous lives, and many lives to yet live. This film is one great reason to stay in with a big bowl of chocolate sweets and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rise and look around you, 26 Aug 2007

(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: On a Clear Day You Can See Forever [DVD] [1970] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
This film was directed by the dame great director of "The Reluctant Debutante" and "Gigi" Vincente Minnelli Born: 28 February 1903, Died: 25 July 1986 (aged 83).

As with many films the story suffers a little form the lack of spontaneity of the Broadway version, yet it holds the essence and was not modified too much for the actors or media type. Some great songs arise from this play adapted to film.

Daisy Gamble (Barbra Streisand) seems extraordinary in such abilities as raising flowers that are unraisable and hearing telephones before they ring. However she needs to stop smoking and turns to hypnosis to help.

Dr. Marc Chabot (Yves Montand) in an attempt to help her discovers a whole new woman and falls in love with this other woman. However the woman is the results of Daisy's regression.

This poses a difficulty. Especially if Daisy finds out.
