The Thrilling FUNNY GIRL
FUNNY GIRL stars a suspenseful pace, dazzling production values, thoroughly entertaining musical numbers, and a young woman who tickles the soul from the opening scene to the last. Isobel Lennart's topnotch screenplay and expert direction by William Wyler (BEN-HUR) make adapting a Broadway musical to film seem painless. The A-plus DVD (with FUNNY GIRL's original aspect ratio, Overture, Entr'acte after Intermission, and Exit Music) turns the already thrilling FUNNY GIRL into the movie theater rollercoaster of yesterday. (The "Don't Rain On My Parade" sequence pumps the heart like BEN-HUR's chariot race.)
