Reminds me of Funny Girl, but (Spoiler)


without all the singing, and set in a different decade. In both movies, Barbara was insecure about her attractiveness and head over hills with a gorgeous hunk. But in the end, the marriage does not work out although they still have feelings for each other.

If anything, I always compare this story to The Prince Of Tides. A strong, but insecure woman falls for a man, they have this great love despite their different views on life, but their love doesn't stand a chance. They split, but their love is still there and probably always will be.

But hey, this is a recurring theme in Streisand movies.
