Barbra plays Daisy Gamble, a latter-day Brid?y Murphy whose soul shuttles from 18th century England to contemporary New York. Arnold Scaasi designed her knockout New York wardrobe; Cecil Beaton did her up for the London sequences. What more could a girl want, except maybe a movie?

Mercifully, as the bell sounded for Round 5, Dundee surrendered, thereby awarding the heavyweight title bout to Frazier on a technical knockout...
...fight, Ellis was recognized as the titleholder by the World Boxing Association, while Frazier ruled in six U.S. states. The conflict produced such absurdities as two sets of posters for the fight, one giving Ellis top billing and the other placing Frazier on top. Now, with his 22nd knockout in 25 consecutive victories, Frazier holds the title of "undisputed" champion...
