Having seen other early Streisand movies ("Funny Girl", "For Pete's Sake", "The Way We Were", etc.), I decided to try this one. The story was somewhat outdated - women have more options these days, and even ones who stay at home probably know of these options. And seeing the Streisand character in one of her fantasies join what must have been a "Black Power" group in blowing up the Statue of Liberty with the World Trade Center twin towers appearing clearly in the background has got to be upsetting to everyone who has seen this movie in recent years. But I did find myself applauding when, in another fantasy, her character pushes her mother's face into a cake.
