Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Of all her on-screen personas, Barbra Streisand sparkles in none as brightly as her role as 1930s comedian Fanny Brice in the musical Funny Girl. Wide-screen epic specialist William Wyler brings his personal touch to this vivacious 1968 film, an adaptation of Jule Styne and Robert Merrill's 1964 Broadway show that introduced Streisand to the world. In the belated sequel, Funny Lady from 1975, Streisand's Brice comes off as a harsher woman, slightly bitchy, without the tremendous charm she possessed in the first film. Herbert Ross takes over as director and the film just seems to get away from him. Much to the film's detriment, Funny Lady concentrates more on Brice's professional life than on her personal life, as the first film does. The songs are elaborately staged numbers that Brice performs in the theatres and while they are visually lush and spectacular they lack conviction. --Jenny Brown, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Barb at her best, 26 May 2004
By J. Webber "josiew58" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
loosely based on Fanny Brice, these two films can show me something new every time I watch them.Fanny as a young girl is as gawky as they come but Miss Brice was a very determined lady, she wanted it all,and boy, does she achieve it. The appearance of Cairo Fred (Omar) adds to the thrills, the seduction scene in his hotel (Funny Girl) still holds the magic. Great songs, good story, magnificant cast.........

3.0 out of 5 stars Funny Girl - a great movie Funny Lady - Less great, 20 Sep 2000
Funny Girl is a lovely movie . A movie that all us romantics out there love . It tells the story of a young woman that becomes a star and her love for a gambler . Funny Girls is a great movie . It combines humor, romanticism and serious stuff . The plot has some twists that I could not have foreseen .

Funny Lady is the sequel to Funny Girl . Funny Lady is not as good as Funny Girl .
