"The Owl and the Pussycat:" absolutely the funniest film I've seen in

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

many years. Age well? Hell, it may as well be in current release, it's just as spot-on in its humor and satire as ever it was.
I've never been a Barbara Streisand acting fan until now: she deserved an Oscar for her portrayal of the machine-gun mouthed street-walker. And George Segal never had as good a role, the perfect schmuck-foil for Barbara.
You want great dialogue which equals any from the Golden Age of Comedy, those incredible screwball comedies of yesteryear? Look no further. The entire film brilliantly is written and Streisand especially shows a comic timing and nuanced acting skill which, considering how seldom it is equalled, is harder than dramatic performance.
Richard Gere and Julia Roberts had a faintly similar hit with, "Pretty Woman," but is doesn't come close to this gem.
Certainly this should rank with the greatest of all American comedies.
