    • Trivia
      Dudley Moore was originally cast in the role that went to George Segal. He was fired by Barbra Streisand for not remembering his lines. These were the first symptoms of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, a brain disorder that would later kill Moore. Conversely, in the earlier 10 (1979), Segal was replaced by Moore.

      Gregory Larkin: But I love the old Rose! The one with no makeup and baggy clothes who loves 'the perfect bite'! She eats carrots now, isn't that tragic?

    Not as bad as it is built up to being

    I just want to begin by saying that, yes, I am a Barbra Streisand fan. However I am not the type of fan that regards everything she does as perfect. For instance I can safely say that "Yentl", while a very good idea and a noble effort was overindulgent and in desperate need of editing. Now as far as this film is concerned I never went to see it because I was told that all it was about was some ugly Jewish girl who in order to get her man bleaches her hair and loses weight. But after a spontaneous rental I was surprised to find myself actually enjoying it. At the end I realized that it wasn't as "sexist" and "anti-woman" as I had initially believed. Instead, it took seeing the "made-up" Barbra for Jeff Bridges to realize how beautiful the "un-made" Barbra was. The film was well acted all around, and well directed by Ms. Streisand.
