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.

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 play The Matchmaker, Hello, Dolly! won Academy Awards for best sound, art direction, and musical score. --Rochelle O'Gorman

"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 ... Read More

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 ... Read More

This is one of the first musicals I ever watched as a child. It was so nice to see it remastered on DVD! Now I can watch it with my family for many years to come!

The disk was loose inside the DVD case, but it didn't cause any scratches. The movie itself is fun, with catchy songs and much fanfare. I esp. enjoyed Barbara Streisand's scenes. Wonderful and colorful character. Other parts of the movie drag a bit, but overall, an entertaining way to pass an evening.

I was very satified with this dvd and with the delivery of the product. I will most likely consider another purchase from this seller.
