The On a Clear Day You Can See Forver Film...zzzzzzzzzzzzz

So I adore the OBC of On a Clear Day...but the film literally puts me to sleep. I saw it when I was a teenager, fell asleep then, and tried to watch it the other day, many years older, and fell asleep even quicker.

I hate movie musicals that go more than 30 minutes without a musical number to speak of...This adaptation is boring boring boring, despite Streisand's attempts to make it workable.

Doctor...About these cigarettes...

If I could stay awake through the whole thing, I might be able to make better judgements.

It makes me mad that so many numbers from the Broadway version were filmed, not used, and then left off the recent DVD release.

Talk about BAD MOVIE MUSICALS this one is right up there.
I was over my friend's Steven's house one day (he's a big Streisand whore) and in one of his many attempts to convert me and getme to join "the club" he begged me to give this movie a chance.

I coulda bitch slapped him for making me sit through this piece of garbage! It personified and solidified why I simply cannot stand Barbra Streisand and her over-the-top-shrill-histrionic voice.

Once I saw her prancing among the flowers I fell out laughing. Yves Montand was so bland I was trying to figure just what the hell she even saw in him. Hell, I was trying to figure out what he saw in her as well.

Saving grace: JACK NICHOLSON just because he's JACK NICHOLSON.

It pisses me off I will never get that time back.'

And don't get me started on FUNNY GIRL and FUNNY LADY.

To Steven: I tried, really I tried but I just.can't.stand.that.woman.

It's beyond horrible. Striesand plays it like she's mentally retarded. She really cannot act. All the numbers are overproduced, and the title number is almost unrecognizable. She's singing at the top of her lungs. Awful.
