I was happy to discover when I received this CD in the mail that the Columbia "Digitally Remastered and Restored From The Original Master Tapes" sticker was on the jewel box. I also own this CD as it was originally issued -- un-remastered. There is a bit of a difference.

First of all, Streisand's vocals in this remastered version are much more clear and present. The remastering has removed that horrible late-1960's echo effect on the vocals.

Secondly, the orchestrations sound crisp. You can hear the separation of instruments in your speakers.

There are no bonuses or alternate vocals (i.e. the FUNNY LADY CD that Arista recently rereleased). However, the "click-click" of Barbra's heels as she walks around in the song "What Did I Have That I Don't Have" has been toned down. My LP version sounds like Barbra had on some clunkers as she moves from the left to the right speaker!

I love the music from this film. The opening "Hurry It's Lovely Up Here" is such a cute song. And Barbra sounds fabulous on "He Isn't You". "Love With All The Trimmings" is as lush as the banquet it describes. And, of course, "Clear Day" is a great belter-of-a-song!

4.0 out of 5 stars Barbra with all the trimmings., November 4, 2007

Barbra Streisand's second movie after her triumphant debut in Funny Girl was, let's face it, not a very big hit, and the soundtrack to the movie did not fare any better. In fact, according to IMDB.com, this release has the dubious distinction of being Barbra's worst selling soundtrack album. Admittedly, it isn't her best, but there is very little wrong with it.

Streisand shines on all of her tracks, especially the title track, which while a mere 2 minutes, is a song that is sung with such emotion you can't help but need to hear it over and over again. Other tracks that she shines on are the happy-go-lucky "Hurry! It's Lovely Up Here," which just makes the listener happy, and the delightfully silly "Go to Sleep," which is very catchy, and probably could have been a hit for her if released.

Unfortunately, Barbra's co-star, Yves Montand, sang a few songs that are also included here, and take up close to half the recording. They are not too good, and I often skip over them when I listen. Needless to say, only fans of the film will really like it, which in turn is only liked by Streisand's fans. But there's a lot to like here if you are a fan.

I have been waiting for a great many years for this movie to finally be released on DVD format. My VHS copy is close to being worn out its been watched so many times. At last, one of Barbra Streisand's best and funniest movies can be seen cleaned up and in widescreen. Hallelujah! If you like her other comedies, you'll love this one where our girl plays a chain smoker with, as she puts it, no character, not even any characteristics. In her quest to quit smoking; a worthy undertaking in any age, our irritating heroine, turns to Psychiatry Lecturer/Hypnotist Dr Marc Chabot; played by Yves Montand and, in the process a previous life as Melinda Winifred Wayne Tentrees is uncovered in which she is a player in Regency society. She plays a woman with strong psychic gifts that whilst they are the making of her, through misuse, prove to be her downfall. The film is by turns funny, wistful and sad and ultimately expresses the feeling that in the end all things work out no matter how many lives you have lived to get there. With cameo roles from such great character actors as Irene Handl, Roy Kinnear and Jack Nicolson, this film is a treat and contains, to my mind, some of Miss Streisand's best songs especially; and I'm, a big softy here, "Love With All The Trimmings" and "He Isn't You". In addition , the film showcases Brighton's Royal Pavillion in all its glory as built by The Prince Regent, who later became King George IV; Kinnear. Take my advice, if you like Barbra Streisand, you cannot fail to love this film. Go on, BUY it, you know you want to.
