Hello Dolly! DVD   20th Century Fox

Barbra Streisand is a knockout as Dolly Levi, the woman "who arranges things like furniture and daffodils and lives". The famed plot concerns Dolly, a young widow and professional matchmaker who sets her sights on conquering tight-fisted Yonkers merchant, Horace Vandergeider, beautifully played by Walter Matthau. Over $20,000,000 was spent on Dolly and you can see and hear every penny. The painstakingly re-created streetcars, shops, skyscrapers and town itself (circa 1900) the magnificent Harmonia Gardens set, Irene Sharaff's colour-splashed costumes, Jerry Herman's hummingly tuneful direction. So, spend a magical evening with the incomparable Barbra - and see what great musicals are all about.
