Description:
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.
Amazon.com:
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

Rating:  - Still a pretty funny girl
I saw this movie after Funny Girl, and perhaps that wasn't the wisest choice. This film is the weaker of the two, but it is, after all a different film. Most people, I know, have seen Funny Girl, so this could be a disappointment if one is expected the same level of film. However, it can be terrific in its own way. Barbra gets to play a modern (at the time) character with Daisy Gamble, while at the same time playing Melina Tentrees, a British gal from the past. Her acting is great, and very entertaining. ...

Rating: - straight streisand fan
what a pretty story. I found the transformation between her two parts amazing. It's no wonder she has the rep she does. I fell in love with Daisy.
Rating: - My Name is Melinda! Go to Sleep Go to Sleep Go to Sleep!
Barbra Streisand's best work is in this movie! Too much fun and watchable more then once.
Rating: - Super Streisand
If you need to escape for a few hours, put in this DVD, sit back and enjoy.On a Clear Day will remind you why Barbra Streisand is a legend in her own time.There will never be anyone with the voice, the humor, the class, and the heart of Barbra as Daisy Gamble.She is absolutely super!Her version of the title song will stay with you long after you press the eject button.In this day of supposed musical divas (You can fill in the names here.), it is a pleasure to see a real musical diva at the top of ...

Rating: - hooray for the 60s
Hadn't seen this movie since I was a kid until now...seeing it again as an adult, I still loved the musical numbers and the colorful clash of 60s jaded realism with counterculture's fanaticism with mysticism. The--ahem--imaginative impressions of period Regency costume look almost laughably colorful and polyester compared to the more historically accurate period films that have come out in recent years, but overall, I still enjoy this movie. The DVD unfortunately has no special features, but it's hard to complain ... Read More
