One of the most popular movie musicals ever made is now better than ever on Blu-ray,
Funny Girl follows the early career of stage comedienne Fanny Brice, a role that earned Barbra Streisand the 1968 Oscar for Best Actress. Only her mother believes Fanny can make it in show business, but when she gets her first break at Keeney's Music Hall, her hilarious debut gets her hired as a comedienne. Fanny becomes a star, falls in love and marries Nick Arnstein (Sharif), a handsome gambler. The film's many memorable songs include "Don't Rain on My Parade" and the Streisand classic "People."
