Full Plot Details

Early twentieth century New York. Fanny Brice knows that she is a talented comedienne and singer. She also knows that she is not the beauty typical of the stage performers of the day, she with skinny legs and a crooked nose among other physical issues. So she knows she has to use whatever other means to get her break in show business, that break so that she can at least display her talents. With the help of Eddie Ryan who would become her friend, Fanny is able to get a part in a novelty act in a vaudeville show, the renown from which eventually comes to the attention of famed impresario Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. Fanny does become one of the Ziegfeld Follies most popular acts, despite she almost getting fired after her first performance by defying Flo's artistic vision for her closing number. Beyond stage success, Fanny also wants a happy personal life, most specifically with the suave Nicky Arnstein, a gambler in every respect of the word. Fanny loves him and loves that he loves her despite her lack of traditional beauty, but she does not love that he comes in and goes out of her life based on his financial standing at any given time and his need to earn that quick buck by the next poker game or high stakes business deal as he feels he needs to play the traditional role of money maker in their relationship on his own terms.

Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kevin ThomasThe musical biography of comedian Fanny Brice emerges as a true classic, as enthralling as the day it was released in 1968. It is a superb example of Hollywood craftsmanship in which all elements have been blended to perfection with inspired artistry.
Baltimore Sun - 10/10 by Michael SragowYou can reexperience the humor and magic -- and the essence of Streisand -- in this William Wyler classic.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertThe trouble with Funny Girl is almost everything except Barbra Streisand. She is magnificent.
New York Times - 9/10 by Renata AdlerWhen she is singing--in a marvelous scene on roller skates--when she throws a line away, or shrugs, or looks funny or sad, she has a power, gentleness and intensity that rather knocks all the props and sets and camera angles on their ear.
New Times (L.A.) - 9/10 by Jean OppenheimerDespite its two-and-a-half hour running time, the movie flies by, so absorbing are its story, songs and stars.
The Spectator - 9/10 by Penelope HoustonIn Barbra Streisand Funny Girl thumps down an ace.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 9/10 by Margaret HinxmanIt's hard to think of Funny Girl, in fact, apart from Barbra Streisand. She is the life force. Director William Wyler simply drapes the opulent show around her.
Salon - 9/10 by Stephanie ZacharekIt's a cross between confidence and vulnerability that's hard for an actress to pull off, but Streisand hits the note perfectly. And her greatest moment of acting, I think, is also the picture's strongest musical number.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael WilmingtonWhatever its flaws, Funny Girl is one star vehicle that works perfectly for its subject.
Cinemaphile.org - 8/10 by David KeyesIn lesser hands this would fall flat because nothing is written to comfort the supporting players. They are extras with names and blurred faces.
