Fanny becomes a star, falls in love and marries Nick Arnstein (Omar Sharif), a handsome gambler whose luck doesn't hold up. The film's many memorable songs include "Don't Rain On My Parade" and the Streisand classic "People."

One of my Favourite Movies!I love this movie! It's so, so good! It's a little long at times, but Barbra Streisand sort of saves the day when parts start to drag. The only complaint I really have is that Arnstein is super unlikable to me, but maybe that's how he's supposed to be. I couldn't help but hate him throughout the movie, even when he was first introduced. Fanny Brice is flawless. :) If they ever remake this movie, I would LOVE if they had Lea Michele as Fanny.

Sie interessiert sich vor allem für das Vaudeville-Theater, ein in New York äußerst beliebtes Unterhaltungstheater. Doch der Weg nach oben ist steinig. Von den Kritikern wird ihr wegen ihres unattraktiven Äußeren keine große Zukunft vorausgesagt, doch so leicht gibt sie ihren Traum nicht auf. Mit großer Entschlossenheit und Ehrgeiz schafft sie es, Mitglied der berühmten Ziegfiel Follies von Florenz Ziegfeld zu werden. Nebenbei verliebt sie sich in den Charmeur Nick Arnstein. Doch ihr Aufstieg wird begleitet von Missgunst und Neid, die sie zuweilen an dem Sinn ihrer Karriere zweifeln lassen.

Giunta a Baltimora, ritrova l'affascinante Nicky Arnstein, un giocatore professionista conosciuto agli esordi della propria carriera. Dopo una settimana di vita in comune, egli le annuncia la sua partenza per l'Europa; con decisione improvvisa Funny abbandona la compagnia e lo segue.

An ex-sea captain (Gregory Peck) comes West to marry Carroll Baker and settle down on the ranch of her father (Charles Bickford). A mutual dislike develops between Peck and the ranch foreman (Charlton Heston). Baker shares many of the "macho" sensibilities represented by Heston, which drives Peck away from her and into the arms of a schoolteacher (Jean Simmons)--who happens to own the only water for miles around. Bickford and Burl Ives have been competing for rights to Simmons' water and are willing to use any means to get it. The intertwining tensions between Peck & Heston and Bickford & Ives inevitably will lead to a climactic and violent confrontation.
