Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Good credentials abound in this 1970 adaptation of Bill Manoff's hit Broadway comedy. Buck Henry wrote the screenplay, and Herbert Ross (The Turning Point) directs the surprisingly funny pairing of Barbra Streisand and George Segal as, respectively, a semi-literate prostitute and an egghead. Streisand and Segal turn out to have excellent complementary styles (both are good at playing incredulity), and while the film is not always as witty as it could be, scenes are crisp and highly entertaining. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - What happened to the "F" word?My girlfriend and I saw this movie when it first came out in 1970. There was a scene involving the main characters where Barbra tells these guys to "F" off. I remember it vividly because my friend and I turned to one another in shock... "Did she actually use that word in a movie?" It was the first time we'd ever heard it used on the big screen and were indeed shcoked. I was more shocked when it didn't appear in the DVD version and had apparently been cut... however, the movie was just as good ...

She succeeds in spades in this often hilarious 1970 comedy adapted by Buck Henry from a hit Bill Manhoff play and directed by Herbert Ross. Streisand plays Doris, a loud-mouthed fetish hooker who claims to be a model and an actress. She gets thrown out of her apartment when her neighbor, a nebbish bookstore clerk and aspiring writer ...

It is a very funny, warm and intelligent piece about friendship that I would recommend to anyone. With great performances by both George Segal and Barbra Striesand. Believe me when I say that all I wanted to do after I saw this film was take a Bubble Bath with Barbra. K.P. Rating:  - What's happening to DVD's of the 70's????I was really shocked and disappointed to find this DVD had been cut... this was one of the best films I saw in the 70's. I also discovered that another great movie, "Goodbye Columbus," has been edited down to a PG since its release on DVD with the original nude scenes deleted. I'm encouraging people NOT to buy or rent these DVD's and to write the studios and complain... it's bad enough that Columbia and Paramount have ruined their own product, but they didn't even have the courtesy to notify buyers ...

In this movie, she's a prostitute who teaches a tight-cheeked man about freedom and love. This movie is better than Pretty Woman! Browse for similar items by category:
