While seeing vibrant new prints of both films will be great, a few extras would be most welcome from fans.
None of the details on websites seem to share if there are any extras – which likely means no. Both movies will delight Streisand fans and perhaps uncover some new ones when the blu-ray releases come out. Stephen Holden of Rolling Stone and Pauline Kael of the New Yorker praised her work while she ended up a nominee for Worst Supporting Actress from the Golden Raspberry Awards (who seem to not be fans of her work in most anything she does). Her reviews were on both ends of the spectrum. Streisand’s character is having an affair with Hackman and his son (Dennis Quaid). Gene Hackman though was nominated from a critics association’s award for Best Actor in his role as an executive who gets downgraded at work to night manager at a drug store after a mid-life crisis.

Streisand herself was paid $4 million.Īside from all of that, when the movie was released, it received mixed reviews from critics. With a $15 million budget, the movie made just under $4.5 million. This put a nail in the movie’s box office coffin. The movie seems to have been dumped into theatres with few commercials and the smallest ads in newspapers. Then there’s “All Night Long.” The behind the scenes story got more press then the release of the movie. But still, not even any Golden Globes nominations, who usually love Streisand. Streisand fans likely wouldn’t protest over her not being nominated for this film as she was also in the worthy “The Owl and the Pussycat,” which should have received her a nomination. The original song “Love Among the Trimmings” also should have made the cut as it’s from the movie’s most memorable scenes. Even a costume from a cut scene was worn by Streisand when she won her Oscar for “Funny Girl” and it’s STILL being talked about. It definitely should have received a Best Costume nomination for Beaton’s great contemporary and especially period pieces.
Musicals often end up in the score or sound categories, but none for this picture. Further, it didn’t receive any Academy Award nominations. With a budget of $10 million, the film only grossed $14 million. Yet although this is the only Streisand film with a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, the audience didn’t take much notice. The costumes by Cecil Beaton and songs by Alan Jay Lerner and Burton Lane also are at the top of their game.
It was directed by Oscar winner Vincente Minnelli, who has a great eye for staging musicals. This movie had everything to be a giant hit. It’s the story of Daisy Gamble, a chain-smoking New Yorker who we learn while she’s under hypnosis that she is a reincarnation of Melinda, a Victoria-era woman with special powers.
