Movie Reviews of Hello, Dolly! Widescreen Edition
Movie Review: Magical, my favorite musical of all time
Summary: 5 Stars
I have watched this many, many times on VHS. While my short review will not delve into production/plot or talent trivia, I can only say that this musical has given me years of enjoyment. I cannot think of this film without a smile on my face. I dont know exactly why, because I am not a fan of musicals in general, but this movie seems to always lift me up no matter when I watch it. Im not big on broadway or hollywood trivia, but I can only say that I am so happy to see this on DVD widescreen. Hell, Im not that big a fan of Streisand or Mathau, but somehow I cannot imagine anyone else in the title roles. Not to be missed is the title number Hello Dolly, Streisand seems to glide on air and I think her voice was at the peak of her very talented career. Brilliant film.
Summary of Hello, Dolly! Widescreen Edition
They just don't make musicals like this any more. There are some who would be grateful for that--the plot is but a flimsy excuse to string together song and dance numbers. Some of us, however, love big, splashy, overdone musical scenes, of which there are many. Glittering stage numbers showcase a commanding Barbra Streisand as Dolly Levy, a New York matchmaker who can find a mate for anyone. Anyone but herself, that is. Determined to marry wealthy Walter Matthau, she lures him out of Yonkers and sets about wooing him.Don't worry about the lack of a solid story or Gene Kelly's pedestrian direction. Watch instead for the musical numbers and the lavish costumes. Listen to Jerry Herman's score, and dance around the living room when a sequined Streisand arrives in a club as Louis Armstrong strikes up the title tune for her benefit. (Just pull the shades first.) Based on Thornton Wilder's play The Matchmaker, Hello, Dolly! won Academy Awards for best sound, art direction, and musical score. --Rochelle O'Gorman
Barbara Streisand is a knockout as Dolly Levi, the woman "who arranges things like furniture and daffodils and lives." And Hello Dolly, is the blockbuster musical you'll want to see her in again and again. The famed plot concerns Dolly, a young widow and professional matchmaker who sets her sights, and whatever else she can muster, on conquering tight-fisted Yonkers merchant, Horace Vandergeider, beautifully played by Walter Matthau. How she does it has to be the grandest, singingest, dancingest, marchingest flag-wavingest musical there ever was.
