Description
Barbra Streisand announced herself to cinema in one of the most electric debut performances in Hollywood history, playing Fanny Brice—the Brooklyn girl who became the toast of the Ziegfeld Follies—in this lavish musical biography directed by William Wyler. Paired with the irresistible Omar Sharif as the gambler Nicky Arnstein, Streisand lights up every frame with her extraordinary comedic gifts, soaring voice, and magnetic screen presence. From the iconic "Don't Rain on My Parade" to the tender "People," Funny Girl remains one of the great American movie musicals.
