    • Quotes

      Helen Robbins: You're just jealous.

      Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins: Of what am I supposed to be jealous?

      Helen Robbins: You're jealous because Fred has money and can buy me nice things.

      Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins: He should buy you electrolysis, Helen, so the Brotherhood-of-TV-Dealers won't think ol' Fred is shacked up with some fat-ass grizzly bear!

    Dated, only for 70s film or Streisand fans

    I appreciate the 1970s dress, manner of speaking, street scenes of NYC, cars, etc. but this movie is quite dated. Viewers today will find little humor and not much of interest. Streisand is always pretty good to watch (no signing here) and carries what little there is in this movie.
