Review of Funny Girl (1968) by Alec B — 17 Mar 2014

You know, the movie fails to tell any sort of coherent fictional or non-fictional story about Fanny Brice because why would anyone want to see a movie or a play about one of the great comedic talents of the 20th Century that wallows in mopy melodrama for most of its running time? However, the film is a undeniably fabulous showcase for Streisand's singular talent (she really is outstanding here) .

. . which is why people are constantly returning to it. For that reason, I can't blame them.
