BARBRA`S BEST MUSICAL
They weren`t sure they wanted her for the movie("She`s so odd looking... even ugly at times") and the story tells that Barb had to submit herself to an extensive test on film in front of the Columbia executives...It really is a vehicle for Barbra! She dominates the film completely and no other in the cast challanges her a bit. Even so, it is a good-looking film directed by Master William Wyler(but musical scenes directed by Herbert Ross) and though Barbra`s Fanny Brice is abnormally ambitous; she still manages us to feel for her, like her, admire her and above all... care for her...It really is a must for drama-musical-lovers.
