The screenplay by Isobel Lennart was adapted from her book for the stage musical of the same title. It is loosely based on the life and career of Broadway and film star and comedienne Fanny Brice and her stormy relationship with entrepreneur and gambler Nicky Arnstein. Produced by Brice's son-in-law, Ray Stark, with music and lyrics by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill, the film stars Barbra Streisand (reprising her Broadway role) as Brice and Omar Sharif as Arnstein, with a supporting cast featuring Kay Medford, Anne Francis, Walter Pidgeon, Lee Allen, and Mae Questel. Streisand won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance, tying with Katharine Hepburn (''The Lion in Winter''). In 2006, the American Film Institute ranked the film #16 on its list commemorating AFI's Greatest Movie Musicals. Previously it had ranked the film #41 in its 2002 list of ''100 Years ... 100 Passions'', the songs "People" and "Don't Rain on My Parade" at #13 and #46, respectively, in its 2004 list of ''100 Years ... 100 Songs'', and the line "Hello, gorgeous" at #81 in its 2005 list of ''100 Years ... 100 Movie Quotes''. ==Plot== Set in and around New York City just prior to and following World War I, the story opens with ''Ziegfeld Follies'' star Fanny Brice awaiting the return of husband Nicky Arnstein from prison, and then moves into an extended flashback focusing on their meeting and marriage. Fanny is first seen as a stage-struck teenager who gets her first job in vaudeville and meets the suave Arnstein following her debut performance. They continue to meet occasionally over the years, becoming more romantically involved as Fanny's career flourishes and she becomes a star. Arnstein eventually seduces Fanny, who decides to abandon the ''Follies'' to be with him. After winning a fortune playing poker while traveling aboard the RMS ''Berengaria'', Nicky agrees to marry Fanny. They move into an expensive house and have a daughter, and Fanny eventually returns to Ziegfeld and the ''Follies''. Meanwhile, Nicky's various business ventures fail, forcing them to move into an apartment. Refusing financial support from his wife, he becomes involved in a bonds scam and is imprisoned for embezzlement for eighteen months. Following Nicky's release from prison, he and Fanny agree to separate. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Funny Girl (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
