Director: Gene Kelly
Choreographer: Michael Kidd
Stars: Barbra Streisand, Walter Matthau, Michael Crawford
With a director like Gene Kelly and a choreographer like (my favorite) Michael Kidd, how can you go wrong?)
I'm ending my month of musicals with one of the very, very best.
Matchmaker and widow Dolly Levi (Streisand) has set her sights on Horace Vandergelder (Matthau), and it's quite an adventure, how she wins his heart. And while Vandergelder's gone to New York to woo a different woman, his employees Cornelius (Crawford) and Barnaby ditch their store duties and escape to New York for some adventure, and they won't come home until they've each kissed a girl. Well, when you make that vow, something great is bound to happen, right?
My favorite part is the dancing waiters in the Harmonia Gardens restaurant, and when they dance with Dolly and sing "Hello, Dolly". And "Sunday Clothes" runs a close second. Wonderful movie!
