    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.

    Barbra Streisand's film debut won her a well deserved Oscar. The musical score is outstanding, fine cinematography. Good costumes. The period detail however is lacking. Good supporting performances. Expand
