Hello, Dolly! Widescreen Edition (1969)

watchin' Dolly...

This is one of the first musicals I ever watched as a child. It was so nice to see it remastered on DVD! Now I can watch it with my family for many years to come! September 25, 2008

Barbara Streisand is wonderful to watch

The disk was loose inside the DVD case, but it didn't cause any scratches. The movie itself is fun, with catchy songs and much fanfare. I esp. enjoyed Barbara Streisand's scenes. Wonderful and colorful character. Other parts of the movie drag a bit, but overall, an entertaining way to pass an evening. September 9, 2008

Hello Dolly

I was very satified with this dvd and with the delivery of the product. I will most likely consider another purchase from this seller. August 29, 2008

DOLLY AND WALL-E !

This movie has always been one of my personal favorites, despite all the negative response at the time of its original release, and what wonderful vindication, to discover that its charm lasted 700 years, to be the companion and inspiration of our beloved Wall-E! One often sees lists of best this and best that, and topping any list of Most Poignant Moments On Film must surely be the scene from Wall-E, where he watches his battered, treasured tape of Hello Dolly, and clasps his hands together - pure movie magic! I see that Hello Dolly is very high on Amazon's list of bestsellers - thank you, Wall-E for inspiring a new appreciation of Dolly, and when you win the Oscar at the next awards, Dolly will join in your celebration!

Promise You'll Never Go Away, Dolly!

Hello, Dolly! was the first Barbra Streisand movie I ever saw. I was only 14 years old, and I was completely captivated and under the spell of the movie's magic. I had occasionally heard Barbra sing on television specials, but Dolly was the first time I'd seen her on the big screen. For some reason I missed seeing Funny Girl when it was first released.

The absolute best parts of the movie to me are Barbra's singing and the incredible score. Being a musician, I can fully appreciate the music. Every song is a masterpiece, and oh, so singable. To this day I still hum tunes from the show, and they never grow old.

While watching the movie again recently, I fell in love with the music all over again, but this time I really paid attention to the dancing. Wow! I forgot how fabulous the dance numbers are. And of course there are the costumes and sets. I just love every aspect of this movie, and since I have worn out my VHS version, I'm ordering the DVD. I can't wait to see it in widescreen, the way I remember it in the theater.

Barbra's voice is top-notch throughout the film, and it was from watching Hello, Dolly! that I first became a Barbra Streisand fan. I love anything she does musically. Her voice is her gift to the world, and we are so fortunate be the recipients of her rare and precious talent. I wish there were more singers like her.

I highly recommend Hello, Dolly! to anyone who wants to just sit and be entertained. You will be, I assure you. July 23, 2008
