	Funny Girl Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Streisand was already a stage and singing star when producer Ray Stark tapped her to reprise her Broadway role of Fanny Brice for the screen adaptation of Funny Girl, the movie that sent her into the stratosphere.
		Funny Girl is ostensibly a biography of vaudeville star Brice from her beginnings as the chorus girl fired because of her skinny legs and the fact that she doesn't "look like the rest of the girls" to her rise as the premier attraction of the legendary Ziegfield Follies.
		Though she receives fine support from Sharif, Walter Pidgeon as Florenz Ziegfield, and Kay Medford as Fanny's mother, the success of this nearly two-and-a-half-hour epic rests firmly on Streisand's slim shoulders.
