Journey Film Club at Birmingham LGBT
Funny Girl (dir: William Wyler, 1968, cert U) Barbara Streisand won an Oscar for her portrayal of Ziegfeld Girl Fanny Brice in Wyler’s glorious musical. Filled with show stopping numbers and dazzling choreography Streisand’s first film role, reprising the part she played in the earlier Broadway production, is a delight from start to finish. The chemistry between Streisand and dashing bad boy Omar Shariff, playing inveterate gambler and serial philanderer Nicky Arnstein, is electric.
