Our take

With golden age legend William Wyler approaching the end of his career, Funny Girl was one of the last great hurrahs for the studio system. Enter newcomer Barbra Streisand, instantly proving her movie star mettle, and taking Oscar® gold for this road-to-stardom musical epic. Hello, gorgeous!
