Summary

Review
A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Tony Sloman
Despite the casting of an underage Barbra Streisand as merry matchmaker Dolly Levi, this lavish 20th Century-Fox movie version of the long-running Broadway hit is a wondrous treat under Gene Kelly's expert direction. Indeed, it now looks like the virtual last gasp of the great era of costly Hollywood musicals - the movie flopped at the box office. However, among the shining stars on parade are Britain's own Michael Crawford and the man who had taken the title song to number one in the US charts five years earlier, Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong. The design, use of colour and, particularly, the marvellous score are quite breathtaking, and the film won three Oscars.
