Streisand's versatility and pure talent are showcased here. Funny, yet sad; human fraility; love. If you love Streisand's singing, you'll appreciate these movies.

This DVD package is good for all those who love the Fanny Bryce saga. Funny Girl is of course the better of the two but the packaging is great and the both shows very entertaining for the whole family if you are into musicals. Striesand won an Academy Award for best actress for Funny Girl (her first film) it ran for years here in Melbourne and I went to see it multiple times, with family and friends. Still a classic.

Barbra Striesand really makes a grand presentation of the life of
Fanny Brice; she portrays the good and the bad of Ms Brice, whose performances exemplify the complexity of a radio show star. It is hard
to believe that a radio stars personal life can be so complicated and yet
in her radio performance not one shred of this comes through to the audience.

same quality as seen years ago at the theater

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
