Hello, Dolly! (1969)
10/10
What's not to Love about this Movie?
6 July 2011
One of the most underrated films of all time (even by IMDb viewers!!) What's not to Love about this film? It showcases Barbra Streisand at her Barbra Streisand best, and has one of the top five musical numbers in the history of Broadway. It's a sweetly innocent, escapist billowy tale, old-fashioned and charming, set within a gorgeous palate of lavish Belle Epoque era interiors, and Hudson River Valley Scenery, with a Louis Armstrong appearance that is the cap-per of a truly delightful entertainment. Those of you who haven't seen the film--please ignore the naysayers and the snobbish critical reviews--just escape into an earlier, innocent time, where strolling down the Avenues of turn-of-the 20th century NY, enjoying a lavish, calorie and cholesterol - laden banquet at a beautiful restaurant, watching with child-like glee a great old-fashioned parade and relishing the simple beauties of a sun-filled day all dressed up with tuneful melodies and snappy dancing warms your heart and provides a jolly good time! Relish and enjoy this treasure of an American Musical! Heck with the critics! This is one of the most fun musical entertainments ever captured on film!
