Barbra Streisand stars as legendary comedienne Fanny Brice.
A gawky New Yawker, Brice fast-talks her way into show business, certain that she’s destined to be “The Greatest Star.” Hired as a “dramatic” singer by impresario Flo Ziegfeld (Walter Pidgeon), Brice defies orders to play it straight, turning a “Beautiful Bride” tableau into a laugh riot by dressing herself up as an extremely pregnant newlywed.
The stratagem turns Brice into an overnight star and the toast of Broadway. But all is not roses for Brice, especially in her turbulent private life as the wife of big-time gambler Nicky Arnstein (Omar Sharif). Nicky at first finds it amusing to be referred to as “Mr. Brice”, but he begins to resent his wife’s fame and fortune.
