Movie Reviews of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever
Movie Review: A childhood memory
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew up watching this movie. I don't know why my sister and I were so obsessed with it, but we would watch this movie over and over and over again. Anytime our mom needed some quiet time, she'd just pop in the vhs and leave us in front of the TV all doe-eyed.
So perhaps this review is biased, but so what? It has a deep connection with my childhood memories, and every time I watch it I get nostalgic and whimsical.
Watching it as an adult does of course clear up some innuendos I had no idea were there when I watched as a child, and this just adds to my enjoyment.
Now, as for the film itself. Perhaps a bit over the top, yes. But that's what makes it so great. Streisand's acting? Perfect. Cinematography? Kind of blurry in a dream sequence 70s kind of way. Not normally a plus, but for this movie it is. The music? The best part!
If you get a chance to watch this movie, you should. That's just my 2 cents.
Summary of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever
Daisy Gamble can be described as an eccentric woman who hears phones before they ring. Determined to kick her smoking habit for the sake of her fianc , she enlists the help of a psychiatrist and undergoes hypnosis. During her visits, it is revealed that she can regress into past lives and channel her many different personalities and her doctor finds himself falling in love with one of her old personalities.When a psychiatrist (Yves Montand) begins talking to a young woman (Barbra Streisand), he realizes that she can recall a past life while under hypnosis. Although this brash New Yorker is thoroughly modern and somewhat abrasive, he becomes fascinated by the 19th-century English woman who speaks through her. This oddball musical flicks back and forth between period flashbacks and modern times, which may be one reason it never builds up much power in either realm. On a Clear Day You Can See Forever failed at the box office in 1970, one of a number of glossy musicals that could not find an audience in the post-Easy Rider movie world. In fact, one of the film's out-of-place costars is Jack Nicholson, a symbol of the new movies that were making old-fashioned musicals a thing of the past. It didn't help that Paramount severely cut On a Clear Day before releasing it. For all that, the picture is enjoyable and--at the end--really quite touching. Director Vincente Minnelli (Meet Me in St. Louis), then near the close of a fabulous career, maintains his usual careful eye for color and design, and keeps Streisand relatively restrained--for Streisand, that is. --Robert Horton
