...because the personalities of Klein and Arnaz are so appealing that you root for them. Klein has a flair for light comedy that is mightily infectious, and he commands the stage like a pirate sweeping a deck. Arnaz matches his strength, and she sings her lyrics in-depth with Streisand's gift for matching feeling with meaning. She hurdles the barricade of being the daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz by imitating neither, but she has inherited their incomparable comic timing...
...companies make a few more bucks at Christmas is with rehashes of their artists' music in the form of greatest hits and live concert albums.

But toward the middle the story starts to dim, at first imperceptibly, then markedly, until it has receded into a depressing and self-indulgent darkness. I am left with two images. One is of Barbara Streisand's overripe features mugging and straining as young Fanny auditions for her first show. Hilarious The other...
