- Barbra Streisand - On A Clear Day - Hurry! It's Lovely Up Here
On a Clear Day You Can See Forever is a 1970 American musical comedy-drama fantasy film starring Barbra Streisand and directed by Vincente Minnelli. The screenplay by Alan Jay Lerner is adapted from his book for the 1965 stage production of the same name. The songs feature lyrics by Lerner and music by Burton Lane.
At the behest of her mainstream conservative fiancé Warren, scatterbrained five-pack-a-day chain smoker and clairvoyant Daisy Gamble attends a class taught by psychiatrist Marc Chabot for help in kicking her habit. She becomes unintentionally hypnotized and manages to convince Chabot to attempt to cure her nicotine addiction with hypnotherapy. While undergoing hypnosis, it is discovered she is the reincarnation of Lady Melinda Winifred Waine Tentrees, a seductive 19th century coquette who was born the illegitimate daughter of a kitchen maid. She acquired the paternity records of the children housed in the orphanage where her mother had to send her and used the information to blackmail their wealthy fathers. She eventually married nobleman Robert Tentrees during the period of the English Regency, then was tried for espionage and treason after he abandoned her.
As their sessions progress, complications arise when Chabot begins to fall in love with Daisy's exotic former self and Daisy begins to fall for him, and his university colleagues demand he either give up his reincarnation research or resign his position with the school. While waiting for Chabot in his office, Daisy accidentally hears a tape recording of one of her sessions and when she discovers Chabot's interest is limited to Melinda, she storms out of the office. When she returns for a final meeting with him, she mentions fourteen additional lives, including her forthcoming birth as Laura and subsequent marriage to the therapist in the year 2038.

You know what I have always found amazing about this video? How she's able to hold her last note for so long as she walks away...
... WITH A CIGARETTE IN HER MOUTH!
AMAZING!
In her new memoir, Streisand herself said you have to take the story on its own terms - it’s a fantasy, and the idea that a college student in 1970 would be wearing expensive color-coordinated ensembles is too ridiculous to spend time thinking about.
Although I love classic Barbra Streisand, and this was the first version I ever heard back when the movie came out in the theater, I still love Barbara Harris's version from the original Broadway cast recording. She makes Daisy seem more innocent and vulnerable. Same thing with "What Did I Have That I Don't Have?", but without all the key changes like Babs has in the movie.
The usual Streisand magic: at 2:45 she turns her phrasing on a dime from belting to plaintive, on the words, “hurry, it’s lovely here,” as if the poor flowers simply aren’t getting the message. It’s a subtle change, but that’s Streisand for you!
Adoro!!!! E obfilme também
