FUNNY GIRL (1968) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - William Wyler

Written by - Iosabel Lennart

Starring - Barbra Streisand, Omar Sharif

"Musical and highly fictionalised account of the life of Fanny Brice, a Ziegfeld star who won audiences with her comic antics and powerful singing, and her troubled love story with a professional gambler. Streisand reprises her Broadway role in this film production signed by Wyler who makes everything look majestic and glamorous, in a role that she was seemingly born to play. The musical numbers are very lively and the art direction is wonderful."
