Barbra Streisand Giftset (Gift Set)

Last Minute Sales & Specials

Giftset contains "What's Up Doc?," "The Main Event," "Nuts," and "Up The Sandbox" "What's Up Doc?" - "What's Up, Doc?" joyously recaptures the bubbly style of 1930s screwball comedies - and firmly establishes Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neal as a romantic duo uniquely endearing in screen history. Included are a daffy luggage mixup plot, dippy dialogue exchanges, a marvelous example of the art of hotel-room demolition and one of the funniest chase sequences ever, all over San Francisco. Dexterously written with a surefooted sense of the ridiculous by Buck Henry, David Newman and Robert Benton, directed by Peter Bogdanovich with giddy affection and cast with awesomely hilarious players (including film-debuting Madeline Kahn), "What's Up, Doc?" is no idle question. Among comedy movies, it's the top. "Up The Sandbox" - New Yorker Margaret Reynolds has a regularly opinionated mother, a work-absorbed husband and three children. No wonder she unravels upon learning she's pregnant again. A complete modern woman's identity crisis is hatching - with an uncontrollable fantasy life including a romance with Fidel Castro. As Margaret, Barbra Streisand goes "Up The Sandbox" for a funny look at liberation, independence and motherhood, based on the Anne Richardson Roiphe bestseller. As adapted by Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Zindel ("The Effect Of Gamma Rays On Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds") and directed by Irvin Kershner ("The Empire Strikes Back"), "Up The Sandbox" is an imaginative look at feminism's roots and the dilemma of trying to "have it all." "The Main Event" - Can a penniless perfume magnate (Barbara Streisand) find happiness managing the career of a has-been prizefighter (Ryan O'Neal)? This screwball comedy answers that question pow! right to the kisser! The two stars reignite their "What's Up, Doc?" chemistry seven years later, trading the script's verbal punches with the panache of the great '30s and '40s romantic duos.
