Reviews
"The trouble with "Funny Girl" is almost everything except Barbra Streisand. She is magnificent."—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Timeshttp://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19681018/REVIEWS/810180301/1023"Barbra Streisand in her Hollywood debut makes a marked impact. The saga of the tragi-comedienne Fanny Brice of the ungainly mien and manner, charmed by the suave card-sharp Nick Arnstein, is perhaps of familiar pattern, but it is to the credit of all concerned that it plays so convincingly."—Varietyhttp://www.variety.com/review/VE1117791165.html?categoryid=31&cs=1
