Gene Kelly's lavish screen version of the Broadway smash – one of the last of the big studio musicals – is an extravagant cinematic interpretation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical. The musical numbers, choreographed by Michael Kidd, have sensational energy and vitality, and Streisand shines in the title role.
As Dolly Levi, Barbra Streisand plays a well-known matchmaker in 1890s New York City who is hired to help the rich and grumpy Horace Vandergelder (Walter Matthau) find a wife. Along the way, she not only unites other young couples, including Horace's niece, but also, unsurprisingly, finds love herself.
Filmography: Invitation to the Dance (1956), Singin' in the Rain (1952, with Stanley Donen), On the Town (1949, with Stanley Donen).
This film is part of a double-feature ticket in the “Tribute to Barbra Streisand” program.
