If only we had some sort of BWW Proactiv we could use.
This thread is going down in BWW history as one of the classics!

To celebrate, I just made some Dolly Pop, now available at a supermarket near YOU!
Did anyone else watch the extraordinary movie version of HELLO, DOLLY! showing on Ovation last night? I watched a titch of it (I own it after all), but MY GOD that performance by Streisand.
Witty, warm, full of life! And those numbers have never sounded better.
The film is BEAUTIFUL. I think it ranks right up there with WEST SIDE STORY as one of the greatest adaptations ever made.
When she scats with Louis Armstrong? Movie heaven.
I love Barbra scats.
"Barbra Scats is my favorite adult film."
Her nails did get in the way, though...
I loved the sepia tones used in it.
It was shot in sepia tones, right?
Until after the scene with the beets. Than it turns to color.
Carol Channing's cameo when she gets to say "Corn?! When did I eat corn?!" was one of the greatest moments in cinema history.
Wow. 14 minutes of Barbra from 1969, performing a medley of songs from Hello, Dolly.

This REALLY proves that Streisand was the greatest of all the Dolly Levis.

My thread has gone to another planet, which is the most any mother could hope for.
"This REALLY proves that Streisand was the greatest of all the Dolly Levis."
Not to mention that it was about effing time they had a Jewish Dolly! Her name is Levi, for craps sake!
"My thread has gone to another planet, which is the most any mother could hope for."
Well, any Mormon mother at least.
Well, it arrived three days late, but this thread is a Halloween bag of delicious candy treats that seems genuinely bottomless.
Mind your cavities, everyone!
PJ.. I have that program on video. SHE IS AND WAS THE DEFINITIVE DOLLY.
Her scenes with Walter Matthau are so convincing...I am SURE they were having an affair. How else could an actress so perfectly capture the depth and soulfulness of Dolly Levi? There will never be another Dolly for me.
I wish Babs would do the remake of Song of Bernadette already. How much longer do we have to wait?

Truly- only Richard Gere and Jodie Fisher came close to matching their sizzling on-screen chemistry.
