Barbra Streisand made her Oscar-winning film debut in this classic musical based on the life of Jewish singer-comedienne Fanny Brice, who rose to fame with New York's Ziegfeld Follies despite an unhappy private life. Featuring a fine Bob Merrill-Jule Styne score, including the memorable finale "Don't Rain on My Parade," the film co-stars Omar Sharif, Kay Medford, Anne Francis, and Walter Pidgeon.
