(1969) more movies like this directed by Gene Kelly featuring Barbra Streisand, Walter Matthau, Michael Crawford, Louis Armstrong, Marianne McAndrew Twenty-seven-year-old Barbra Streisand seemed an inappropriate choice for middle-aged, match-making widow Dolly Levi, but her energy carries her right through the role and dominates the lackluster movie around her. The plot, drawn from Thornton Wilder's The Matchmaker (itself based on a 19th-century British farce), is set in motion when Yonkers ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £7.45!
