I am very disappointed with this film, perhaps it should have been left at Funny Girl. I echo the comments of another post, I too loved the emotion, the humour and the naive innocence of Fanny. It is inevitable that she grows and matures, but it simply does not cut it at all. I adore Barbara Streisand she manages to cross the divide as actress and singer perfectly and I cannot listen to People from Funny Girl shall we say needing a tissue. However, her character although still meant to be self effacing and endearing and humorous is certainly not the latter in Funny Lady. Also sorry any James Caan devotees, he is no where at all as near as sexy as Omar Sharif, I can see why Fanny did not want to divorce him, he has charm and class or rather Nick Arnstein does that is Omar Sharif gives Nick Arnstein those qualities.
