| | DVD review of Hello Dolly! - DVDTOWN.com |
 | | Because the leading character in the story, Dolly Levi, is intended to be a much older woman, presumably in her fifties or so, whose husband of many years has died and left her penniless. |
 | | Mainly, in "Hello, Dolly!" one gets to witness a huge, bloated, overly extravagant, big-screen spectacular and ponder the reasons why a young, attractive, and highly marriageable Dolly Levi would be chasing a middle-aged Walter Matthau as Vandergelder, unless she was only after his money. |
 | | The showstopper, of course, is "Hello, Dolly," which the filmmakers milk for everything it's worth, extending it for almost a dozen minutes. |
