Funny Lady (1975)
Fanny Brice, stella affermata del musical, ha divorziato da un marito che lei ama ancora e, per carenza di spettacoli a Broadway, partecipa allo show in un night, di cui sposa anche il proprietario, Billy Rose. Ma le strade professionali dei due non corrono parallele e quando Fanny, dopo un casuale incontro con l'ex marito, si riavvicina a Billy, questi si è innamorato di un'altra attrice. È il seguito di "Funny Girl" (William Wyler, 1968) sulla vita della famosa Fanny Brice, ma non vale il primo. Poco fedele sia come vicenda che come ricostruzione d'ambiente, il film si salva più che altro per la ricchezza della realizzazione.
