And the answer is................Funny Girl

Funny Girl, the film, is a 1968 American biographical romantic musical comedy-drama film directed by William Wyler. The screenplay by Isobel Lennart was adapted from her book for the eponymous stage musical. It is loosely based on the life and career of Broadway and film star and comedian 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 (in her film debut 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. It was the first film by Stark's company Rastar.
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. Funny Girl is considered one of the greatest musical films ever.
In 2016, Funny Girl was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress, and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.

No, that was Dan.

Max_Tooney

Donald Fingan? With the Steely expression?

msbonne

Yup, right up until his brother had to carry him.

You know, my attorney (Gill), had a relative, I believe first cousin, who was in Oliver. He played the part of Fingan.

Max_Tooney

lol @ gruel-ling

Max_Tooney

And wasn't he nice to carry his younger brother for all those years?

msbonne

While many believed this to be the case, in fact, he carried tunes (both Bugs AND Elmer), kegs, drugs, women, whatever was handy.

manicpuzzler

Gruel-ling puns!

Max_Tooney

Hmm. I did not know that. I'd always thought 'Animal House' (the musical) was canceled because Belushi couldn't carry a tune.

msbonne

You know, "please sir, can I have some more?" was stolen from Animal House. "Thank you sir may I have another."

Some say that Animal house was way after Oliver, but the writers worked for decades on the script for Animal House, and some left disgruntled (I do not know how their gruntles were removed) and told the Oliver writers some of the lines.

Max_Tooney

Sure. Consider yourself...part of the family!

msbonne

Please sir, may I have some more?

Max_Tooney

Right up there with 'Oliver' in abject humor.

msbonne

Now THAT was a funny musical.

Max_Tooney

Why, 'Fiddler on the Roof', of course!

ParsonWayne

Oh, NO! Another punster has snuck into the site. Good one, solidrock.

ParsonWayne

I know that one. Fannie was a great comedienne. He was the Lucille Ball of her time

Another Darwin award….
Some artists bleed for their creative work, but usually not literally. That standard changed on Monday, when a gangster-rap video artist put his final effort into his project, and shot himself in the head while the cameras rolled.
24-year-old Robert created the 10-minute video at his apartment with his brother Michael and a friend named Fred. On camera, Robert reached for a .22-caliber handgun, swung the muzzle of the gun to his temple, and fired the gun.
Police were summoned to the scene by complaints from a neighbour who objected to the loud music and violent shouting. But when they arrived, Michael had to be restrained from preventing police from controlling the scene, and Fred struck a paramedic. Both face misdemeanour charges.
Robert was 24 when he died in a coma at the Ohio State University Medical Centre.
