Barbra Streisand 'I'd Rather Be Blue'

[@СтрокатоваАнна]

Какой хороший фильм! Смешная девчонка!!!

[@wotan10950]

My parents dragged us preteens to the movies in 1968 to see this. We weren't too happy. But then we were utterly astonished by this incredible talent. She could sing, dance, make us laugh, make us cry. There's a good reason that Streisand is such an icon.

Her mother said: Somebody who looks like you can never be a moviestar." Her stepfather treated her like crap because she was not as conventional pretty as her sister was. And years later she said of this situation when she started: "Nobody believed in me. She I decided to believe in myself". Bless her. She has a voice that comes around once in a generation. And yes - she is totally gorgeous!

[@AndrewRudin]

Was there ever a more daring costume designer than Irene Sharaf? Look at the color combination here... the weird grapes on the shoulder (which give Barbra "business"), the strange combination of materials, and the low-slung waist. AND... it all works... hilarious and somehow flattering at the same time. She hits it out of the part throughout this flick (and many, many others). I mean... olive-green roller skates? Come on! Brilliant.

[@chrisn7259]

+Andrew Rudin You're so right Andrew. Sharif was indeed one of the best-ever designers for film & theatre. She had done the costumes for the stage version of Funny Girl, so she knew the era and how to flatter her star better than anyone else would have.

[@mylesgarcia4625]

Omar SHARIF did NOT design the costumes. He played the male lead. Irene SHARAFF designed the costumes! I don't see how you can get the two mixed up???

[@saraoliveira8836]

Andrew Rudin omg YES !!!!!

I love that Irene Sharaff did the costumes for the two greatest musical ladies of the 20th century - starting with Judy Garland in MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS.

[@songplugger8330]

He didn't get them mixed-up. He just misspelled Sharaff. But you knew that, didn't you?

[@shimmeringfairydust3275]

Singers today should really learn from this lady: in this simple tune, she is powerful and vibrant without overdoing it. No yelling or packs of milisma- just beautiful, astonishing singing. Her acting is first rate too.

[@majorshipper5311]

Agreed! Over-singing is too mainstream ever since Mariah Carey got huge.

[@soaribb32]

Over singing is a very gospel thing, a lot of girls get inspiration from Mariah and Whitney, who got inspired by the gospel.

[@marcackerman492]

I was 12 in 1968. Didn't know who Streisand was. My friends and I wanted to see Oliver but because of a snow storm, we went to a closer theatre and "settled" for Funny Girl. Talk about a life-altering experience. I became an instant fan and never stopped for the next 50 years. Always will be a fan.

[@normadesmond6017]

I watched it in the seventies. I to became addicted. For me her voice is perfection. Nobody can beat Steisand!

[@seikibrian8641]

I was 13 in '68, but I didn't see my first Streisand film until '72: 'Up the Sandbox.' I hated it. Thankfully I gave her another chance and saw 'What's Up Doc' and 'For Pete's Sake' shortly after, and loved them both. Over the years I've gone back and seen 'Funny Girl,' 'Funny Lady,' 'Hello Dolly,' and 'The Way We Were.' I went on to see 'A Star Is Born,' 'Yentl,' and many others when they were first released...just about everything she's done, actually. I love the lady.

[@tadimaggio]

The late Pauline Kael summed up both "Funny Girl" and Barbra Streisand to perfection when she reviewed the film in 1968: "Some people have been saying that the message of 'Funny Girl' is that you do not have to be pretty to succeed. That is nonsense; what 'Funny Girl' illustrates is that talent IS beauty. And that isn't some comforting message for plain people; it's what show business is all about."

[@chrisn7259]

But actually, Barbra WAS pretty, just in an unconventional way that the critics hadn't caught up with.

[@JayBassoon]

A belter with subtlety, an experienced naivety, bittersweet, tragically comical - Barbra has it all.

Streisand was a little before my time, but I remember my parents getting a babysitter for us kids so they could go see "A Star Is Born."

Streisand was beautiful and talented; many performers today possess neither quality.
