Description:
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.
Amazon.com:
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 playThe Matchmaker, Hello, Dolly! won Academy Awards for best sound, art direction, and musical score.--Rochelle O'Gorman

Rating:  - Just Leave Everything to Dolly
This movie is one of those joyous romps that will put a smile on your face from the beginning to the very end. From the clever opening sequence which introduces matchmaker Dolly Levi (Barbra Streisand) and her penchant for "arranging things" to the opulent wedding finale, "Hello, Dolly!" is full of energy, laughs, and heart. This is my favorite Streisand role of her entire career, and she is truly the shining star of the movie with her seemingly boundless energy and amazing voice. Her vocal numbers ... Read More
Rating:  - Look at the old girl now
Barbra is soooo great in this movie I wish the movie would be shorter. Some of the other dances are way too long. Barbra IS the movie. I couldn't keep my eyes off of her. Her expressions while delivering all this dialogue in her second role only , are mind blowing. What an incredible talent. She SHOULD have won an Oscar for this.
Viewing this movie now for the first time (12-27/08) in superbe color and sound quality and modern Widescreen is fantastic. What a treat! God thank you so much for technology.
Rating:  - Gene Kelly Directs, Barbra Streisand Stars.
"Hello, Dolly!" is one of those huge-budgeted musicals made after the incredible success of "The Sound of Music."Lightning was reluctant to strike twice, however, and subsequent, bloated musicals like "Paint Your Wagon," "Dr. Dolittle," "Star" and "Darling Lili" tanked at the box office."Hello, Dolly!" seemed a safe bet.It was based on a hit Broadway show, starred Barbra Streisand -- fresh from her Oscar-winning role in "Funny Girl" -- in the title role, had a score by Jerry Herman and a script by Ernest ...

Rating: - Gold digging was never had such a nice tune.
This movie is about a meddlesome gold digger (barbara streisand) who plans on tricking a wealthy store owner to marry her. seems bad, well it probably is, but in the process she helps to lovers get married, 2 meek store clerks fall in love, and even finds herself falling in love with her target.
the actors are quite enjoyable, and uplifting with their mood. the songs are catchy, and well preformed, which makes watching this even more enjoyable.
i would say this would have to be one of ... Read More
