The late great Audrey Hepburn sparkles as a gamine but gawky bookseller. Thrown into the heady world of high fashion by a chance meeting with society snapper Fred Astaire she's transformed, in true Eliza Doolitle style, into a ravishing woman of the world. Visually beautiful, witty and totally uncalculatingly sweet and utterly charming.

The life of comedienne Fannie Brice, from her early days in the Jewish slums of the Lower East Side, when only her mother believed Fanny could make it in show business, to her hilarious debut as a rollerskating chorus-girl and on to the height of her career as a star with the Ziegfeld Follies. Unfortunately she fell in love, and married, the wrong man; handsome, urbane but inept gambler Nick. Streisand won the best actress Oscar in this classic musical.

Now divorced from wealthy Nick Arnstein, Fanny teams up with songwriter Billy Rose, a brash showman bursting with enthusiasm and theatrical ambitions. They make an unusual couple, the polished performer and the upstart producer, but their friendship gradually blossoms into love. Funny Lady lacks the freshness and energy of the original Funny Girl but there are still some dazzling production numbers and Caan and Streisand make a believably feisty couple.

The staging of a musical, a romance, a bumbling private eye and a man who keeps wandering on with a pot plant for 'Mrs Jones'! is almost incidental to the speed, imagination and sheer craziness in a film that gives the Marx brothers a run for their money. Justifiably described as ‘Pythonesque', Hellzapoppin is a hugely influential comedy classic that can now be seen as way ahead of its time..

Set in the 1890s this adaptation of Harold Brighouse's working class comedy sees a tyrannical bootmaker brought to heel when his plain-speaking daughter marries his down-trodden simple-minded employee and sets up a successful rival business. Keen direction and fine performances make this a great comedy.
