Funny Girl/Funny Lady

Definitely a classic musical with Barbara at her best.

Without a doubt, one of the most smashing film debuts of all time. Barbra sparkles in her first film and hardly shows any awkwardness in front of the camera (easy enough since she'd already played the role) and she looks amazing. Her poise and confidence plus Fannie's belief in her destiny,make this enjoyable on every level. She's also a superb comedienne as witnessed int the "Bride" number which literally brings The Zeigfeild Follies to a screeching halt(much to the chagrin of The Great Zeigfield himself.) The "Don't Rain On My Parade" number was greeted with applause when I saw it in a theater,as did many of the other numbers. A great show!"Funny Lady" is a bit of a dissappointment only in that some of the roles were miscast(James Caan,though good-looking,was no Billy Rose,who was not)but then neither was Nick Arnstein and Omar Sharif is on board to play him again. There's not as much music in this one although what there is,is great(Marvin Hamlish developed someoriginal works) and Ben Vereen has a cameo as well. A better bet all around than buying them seperately

The DVD was delivered on time and in great shape as advertised. I would definitely use this seller again.Barbra in her first film, Funny Girl, was outstanding. She had perfected her portrayal of Fanny Brice on the stage and the portrayal carried over to the movie. Still holds up well.Funny Lady is not as good. The film has its moments but for the most part the film played like out takes from Funny Girl. Watch Barbra sing How lucky Can You Get and skip the rest of the movie.

Over the years I have watched these movies again and again. I worked in a cinema in Brisbane City, Qld, Australia as an usherette when Funny Girl was released in Qld. It ran for a long time and I never tired of it. There is only one Barbra !!!! When Funny Lady was released I was overjoyed and saw the movie as soon as possible. I will never tire of these and other Barbra movies, music and TV specials. Now finally I have this collection after all these years.

- Funny Girl is great, didn't care for Funny Lady at all but given you can get both for less than the price of Funny Girl alone you may as well buy the set at $19.70. The fact that Funny Girl sells for $26.62 on it's own and Funny Lady is only $8.99 on it's own seems to speak pretty clearly about the films.- Be sure to check out What's Up Doc if your in the mood for some laughs! : )

It's a Barbra Streisand film. She oozes talent from every orifice. I was only 5 years old when Funny Girl came out in 1968. My first Barbra Streisand movie was What's Up Doc in 1972 and have had a huge crush on Barbra since then - hubba hubba. Funny Lady came out in 1975 and was a nice continuation of Funny Girl. She's such a classy gal and always a delight to watch. Would definitely recommend, especially for fans.

I'm glad I purchased this after much deliberation.Love Streisand in Funny Girl. Funny Lady is not as good, but being a sequel, I wanted it.I was surprised that it came as a boxed set. Very nice.Haven't watched it yet, but happy that I finally have these on DVD.My VHS tapes aren't quite the same. LOLNow if the industry would quit changing the formats so the consumers doesn't go broke trying to keep up.

These movie are classics of the great Barbra Streisand. But I know she didn't oversee the production of this DVD set because if she had she would have done something about the terrible 'low' sound. I turn the volume ALL the way up and the sound is still a little too low.Could this have been a manufacturing default ?

Great

Quand un grande dame rend hommage à une grande dame du musical ça donne ça : 2 films fabuleux d'humour de tendresse de drame de musique et de grandes scènes avec une brochettes d'acteurs qui sont rentrés dans la légende. Un grand classique au même titre qu' Hello Doly!

Great quality and two great movies.

Excellente comédie musicale, très bien jouée, parfaite mise en scène et avec la voix sublime de Barbra Streisand.Ne retenir toutefois que Funny Girl ! Funny Lady est par contre un lamentable raté !

This is a great buy for those of you who like Babs. Quality is also good enough. Certainly the price point is worth it.
