This is the kind of tape that ends up in a bin next to an aerobics video and a copy of Ace Ventura. It doesn’t make sense alongside those things, but here it is.
About This Tape
Funny Girl is the 1968 musical biography of Fanny Brice, directed by William Wyler. Barbra Streisand starred in her first film role and won Best Actress at the Academy Awards. The film also took home Best Cinematography. Omar Sharif co-stars as Nick Arnstein. “People” and “Don’t Rain on My Parade” are in here.
This is an RCA/Columbia Pictures Home Video release — the standard early home video packaging, clamshell case, good condition. Full cast listed on the front: Kay Medford, Anne Francis, Walter Pidgeon alongside Streisand and Sharif.
No lost media angle. This is a major studio classic available on Blu-ray and streaming. The VHS is just the version of this movie that lived in someone’s living room for forty years before ending up in a donation bin.
A William Wyler–Ray Stark production. That’s right on the sleeve, in that formal old-Hollywood way that they used to put things on the sleeve.
