Funny Girl - The Criterion Collection

£22.99

Released: 9th December 2024. Witness the birth of a movie star as Barbra Streisand makes a screen debut for the ages in this musical spectacular. From humor to pathos, she hits every note as popular 1920s singer-comedian Fanny Brice, a young Jewish New Yorker whose spirit and supernova talent propel her to fame in the Ziegfeld Follies, but whose devotion to an unreliable gambler (a charismatic Omar Sharif) brings drama and heartbreak into her life. Adapted from a hit Broadway show and directed by Hollywood master William Wyler, Funny Girl hits emotional highs in unforgettable performances of songs like “People” and “Don’t Rain on My Parade”—moments that won Streisand one of the most richly deserved Best Actress awards in Oscar history. BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES 4K digital restoration, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack New audio interview with star Barbra Streisand New conversation between director William Wyler’s son David author and Turner Classic Movies host Alicia Malone Directed by William Wyler (1986), a documentary on Wyler’s life and career Archival interview with actor Omar Sharif Deleted scene featuring Streisand and Sharif Featurettes from the original theatrical release English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing PLUS: An essay by author and film critic Michael Koresky Cover based on an original theatrical poster
