On a Clear Day You Can SeeForever

Now I do have to admit to having become a slight closet Barbara Streisand fan after watching Funny Girl. However, this movie has been the exception to that trend so far. Vincente Minnelli made a musical long after musicals had begun to die out. That may have been blamed for this films failure at the time. But despite his signature beauty and use of color (much like Baz Luhrman's) this film failed to create a world which would cause audiences to care. Barbara plays a woman who is slightly psychic but never knows what will happen to herself andwhen she is hypnotized by a doctor attempting to cure her of her nicotine addiction she regressing into different personalities. Unfortunately for audiences, we are then treated to wailing songs describing what is going on with each one as her mind is living in that moment. Even if you fall for Streisand's movies, keep a safe distance from this one.
