Barbra Streisand, with no screen test, signed a three-film contract after her enormous Broadway success. "On A Clear Day," based, of course, on the Broadway musical, was one of her projects.
Streisand plays Daisy, a psychic young woman who, under hypnosis, reveals a different personality who lived in England in the 1800s. Yves Montand is her confused psychiatrist, who finds himself falling for Melinda, Daisy's Other.
This is a fun film, which co-stars an absurdly young Jack Nicholson. The songs are great, particularly "Come Back To Me," "What Did I Have That I Don't Have?" and the title song. Not all of the songs from the show are in the movie, and there were some new songs added.
Streisand is an adorable Daisy and an effective Melinda, mastering a British accent and wearing costumes only rivaled by Adrian's masterpieces in "Marie Antoinette." She looks spectacular in all of them. The color in this film is eye-popping throughout, and the sets AND color in the period sections of "On a Clear Day" are amazing. Though a little on the long side, it's highly recommended.
