Anachronisms: In the famous "tugboat scene", Fannie rides out on a New York Central tugboat painted jade green - a color which wasn't instituted on the boats till the early sixties. To be accurate, the tugboat would have to have been painted red with a black stack and the New York Central logo.See more »

In one sense, "Funny Girl" is a little hokey, but it's really good nonetheless. In an Oscar-winning role, Barbra Streisand makes her film debut as Fanny Brice, who wanted dearly to be a Ziegfield Folly. Brice wasn't particularly good-looking, but she was sassy enough to have what it took (as certain scenes show). Accompanying her was gambler Nick Arnstein (Omar Sharif), whose habits eventually went too far for his own good.
Both Streisand and Sharif do a great job, as does director William Wyler. As someone who doesn't usually like musicals, I have to speak positively of this one. It's a real treat in every sense. This is what classics are all about.
