This classic rips me apart the most but have to be a wounded dreamer masked by cynicism to enjoy this movie.

The music is wonderful and Barbara is dazzling, but I hated the ending.

Rags to riches plot with Barbra Streisand doing a perfect job. A Hollywood fantasy but an appealing one.

I was really enjoying it until around halfway through when Nick started becoming a little bitch

One of my favorite Streisand films. She absolutely shines in the role of Fanny Brice and the songs are, for the most part, amazing.
