Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Hollywood loved this story so much they remade it every 20 years or so for much of the 20th century; Barbra Streisand imbued it with so much forceful persona in 1976 that they haven't touched it since. The romantic/musical pairing of Streisand and Kris Kristofferson (chosen when no less than Elvis Presley turned the role down) may have been one of the era's strangest but, anchored by Streisand's elegant, Oscar-winning hit theme "Evergreen," it nonetheless yielded the biggest-selling album of the singer's career to date. That neither star is particularly convincing as rock icons--particularly Her Divaness--seems beyond the point of this fable. Instead, both stars take the opportunity to stretch outside their usual personas a bit, Streisand with the R&B teaser "Queen Bee" and confessional "Woman of the Moon," Kristofferson on rousing, theatrical fare like "Watch Closely Now" and "Hellacious Acres." --Jerry McCulley Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - A Masterpiece!!This movie is a masterpiece!! Barbra Streisands voice is, by far, the greatest sound I have ever heard, and her acting is just lovely in every performance. Although I think every movie Barbra is in is a gift to her fans, I think this movie showed her stretch her talents. I own the soundtrack and the film! Rating: - Timeless pleasureThis CD, called an album the first time I purchased it, is for the woman who is strong enough to start her own company, run someone elses, gracefully confront those that have invalidated her, be opinionated, has respect for Mother Nature to a common sense point, sets her own standards and loves with compassion beyond words and figuratively speaking burnt her bra years ago. I still remember seeing this movie and as a child I left the theatre with tears running down my face, I was twelve. What also amazed me is how many of the words to these songs I have remembered. There is a song to fit every mood on this CD. Need a pick me up before a tough business meeting or just facing the 2nd cup of coffee on a 16 hour day - Select "Queen ... Read More: Rating: - One of my all-time favorite albums...Would you believe I actually purchased the album, back in the day? Then I had to have it on 8-track for my VW. Only that 8-track busted within a few months, so I bought it on 8-track again. I think that one lasted a few months more. I remember writing the record company telling them they had defective 8-tracks, and they mailed me a cassette. WOW, one of my first! That cassette was played over and over again until it became unplayable. I have since bought the CD (2x), and now I am buying the MP3...how technology has improved, and I had this one from the beginning folks. So now to my review. As someone else has stated, the movie does not hold up as well as the music. The music is superb. I tend to FF thru Kris, since his voice does nothing ... Read More: Rating: - It's a 5 star album, but there is a disappointment in this case!I received this album on CD for Christmas in 1994 when I was a junior in high school. I grew up with the LP. I was happy with the CD, as it was the first CD version, excellently remastered by Bernie Grundman. The 2002 remastered version was really the disappointment and I'll explain why. In 2001 to 2003, many remastered original albums were coming out, from Madonna to Michael Jackson to the British group Culture Club. All of those CDs had extra tracks. However, this CD did not. I wish they added the following songs to make it a true soundtrack. Here are 5 major tracks that should be added and remastered for us: 1) Spanish Lies sung by Kris Kristofferson. If you remember in the film, this is when in the beginning he is on the stage ...
