- Synopsis
- In FUNNY GIRL, the highly fictionalized musical biopic, Barbara Streisand makes her film debut in a reprisal of her Broadway role as Ziegfeld star Fanny Brice. Brice, a poor Jewish girl from New York's Lower East Side, rose to fame and won audience's hearts everywhere with her comic antics and powerful singing. Unfortunately, she had far less success in her personal life, and the film focuses on her doomed romance with her first husband, gambler Nicky Arnstein.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The musical biography of comedian Fanny Brice emerges as a true classic, as enthralling as the day it was released in 1968."
-
"Whatever its flaws, Funny Girl is one star vehicle that works perfectly for its subject"
-
"Barbra Streisand in her Hollywood debut makes a marked impact."
-
"Streisand is stunning, but the film is a trial, particularly when the music disappears somewhere around the 90-minute mark and all that's left is leaden melodrama"
-
"You can reexperience the humor and magic -- and the essence of Streisand -- in this William Wyler classic."
-
"It is a superb example of Hollywood craftsmanship in which all elements have been blended to perfection with inspired artistry."
