On A Clear Day You Can See Forever
The talents of acclaimed director Vincente Minnelli (Meet Me In St. Louis, An American In Paris) and legend Barbra Streisand combine to bring this Broadway production to the screen in grand fashion. Streisand is Daisy Gamble, a kooky chain-smoker desperate to kick the habit. She finds the perfect cure in the form of Dr. Marc Chabot (Yves Montand), a psychiatrist who uses hypnosis. However, when Daisy goes into a trance, she can regress into past lives and different personalities-including "Melinda," a 19th century English coquette. And before you can say "amour," Dr. Marc has fallen in love with the enthralling, elusive Melinda...while Daisy, in turn, finds herself falling head-over-heels for the handsome hypnotist! Bob Newhart and Jack Nicholson add to the tune-filled fun in this romantic romp!

A funny little musical - Poet
I'm not a Barbra fan by any stretch of the imagination. I did watch this movie as a Jack Nicholson fan, since he's my favorite and I like to watch everything he's done, from the smaller roles to the bigger ones. He was quite young back then and he did manage to shine through in the few scenes he was in.
As for the movie itself, it was a funny little musical. Nothing spectacular, but not bad at all. It did manage to make me laugh out loud a few times. It dragged on a bit on certain occasions, but it was still quite entertaining.
I guess the most talked about aspect of the movie is what is not in it. When it was made, it was cut down from three to two hours. The cut material would make for great special features on a DVD but it hasn't been put out yet. Will it ever be? I hope so, since there is a musical number by Jack in there that I would love to see.
