It’s a classic as Walther Matthau is a classic, as is Barbra Streisand and the music is stupendous and Louis Armstrong-what a legend !!
I’ve seen only bits & pieces, so.. perfect means to remedy this deficit in my knowledge of cinema.
I’ve never seen it but I love Barbara & Walter, both!
Barbra is my everything! Seen Barbra once in concert and so upset to be missing her current performances. I would love to see Hello Dolly! on the big screen. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. I have been trying so hard not to watch it seeing that it’ll be in theaters. It would mean so much to me to win tickets.
Thank you :]

Oh my goodness, I LOVE this movie! Barbara Streisand is amazing, and of course Louis Armstrong! Classic songs, hilarious story. I was so lucky to see it twice while on broadway just a few years ago. This will be great to see in the theater!

Who WOULDN’T wanna see Mrs. Brolin with Oscar Madison OR Erik The Phantom?
LOL!!!
And this IS Babs’ 2nd movie in her career.
And who was to know Michael Crawford wh0 did this movie WOULD be in THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA? Another BIG BROADWAY HIT!
Thanks for letting me in the contest.
I have not seen this movie.I am trying to more movies,of this quality.I am hoping to add it,to my collection.
I love Hello Dolly because it is a romance, a comedy and a musical all rolled up in one. With talents as big as the ones in the movie the big screen is the place to see it. It doesn’t matter if you’ve seen it once or a million times, there is something about seeing it on the big screen that screams out…HELLO DOLLY!!! LOL And we all love Dolly
ho wouldn’t wanna see Mrs. Brolin with Oscar Madison OR Erik The Phantom? LOL
And who would have dream Michael Crawford would be Erik The Phantom on Broadway in THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA?
For me, Hello, Dolly is a classic because of the amazing musical numbers, very theatrical! And all the actors are perfect in their roles! I’m a big fan of Barbra Streisand and any musical she’s in! Can’t wait to see this movie on the big screen!
I saw this about 30 years ago on a local station. While I like the title song, I don’t remember much about it except it was funny and it had Streisand and Matthau, two names that still draw my attention. As lavish as the movie looked on a 13-inch black and white tv set, I can only imagine full color, full screen, so I’d very much like to see it that way.
Hello Dolly (film) is a classic because:
1) songs (It Takes A Woman, Before The Parade Passes By, Elegance, Hello Dolly particularly)
2) cast (Barbra, Walter, Tommy Tune?!?)
3) costumes (OMG that sequined dress what??)
4) bringing a Broadway classic to a wider audience
5) lines (it’s a little lumpy but it rings; I shall be a ditch-digger a wonderful day)who once had
Babs & Matthau?!? How can that not be classic?!?
(2nd time I’m posting. First post was July 8 at 4:46pm. Took screen shot in case there was a problem. Tweeting as instructed, but note I advised you via twitter that link is missing on post above)

Barbra Streisand and Louis Armstrong. That staircase scene – “Hello Dolly” AND “Before The Parade Passes By”. Iconic!
When I was younger I spent hours and hours watching the film and listening to the cast album, and it would be a dream to see it on the big screen. Barbara seems to play this role so effortlessly. She is Dolly Levi, and that’s what makes it classic.
The film is a classic because it’s considered a “unique work of cinema that has transcended time and trends, with indefinable quality”. It’s a renown film of first rank that has become a part of American cultural folklore. With classic artists such as Streisand, Matthau, Tunes, Cocoa, Crawford, Lockin, McAndrew, Armstrong and Kelly- to name a few, how can it not be a classic? And those costumes (and hats) are winning elements.
Hello Dolly is a classic because it’s one of the last lavish (to me the last) Hollywood musicals, directed by Gene Kelly; with legendary performers Barbara Streisand, Walter Matthau, Michael Crawford, Tommy Tune, and Louis Armstrong; solid script; and great costumes! I’d love to see it on the big screen, the way it was meant to be seen. Thanks!
Hello, Dolly! is a weird movie with such a special place in my heart.
At its worst, it’s kinda overwrought and feels way too long.
But more often it’s at its best, with Barbra Streisand and Michael Crawford. I know Streisand believes she was “miscast,” and in a pure, ‘who this role was written for’ sense, she is — but this is Barbra Streisand we’re talking about. She *owns* this performance and this role with every fiber of her being, just take a look at “Song Long, Dearie.” And Crawford? The underrated sweet heart of this film. “It Only Takes a Moment” is one of the most romantic moments (heh) in film history. It’s great.
And what I just said doesn’t even take account “Put On Your Sunday Clothes” and the title song — two numbers that showcase the grandeur and emotional resonance and pure joy of the entire genre of the movie musical.
And with regard to the latter… the idea that someone could watch Barbra Streisand and Louis Armstrong sing together 50 years after it happened is… magical.
That’s what movies are all about.
I LOVE this musical! One of my favorites. Michael Crawford was amazing in it. Great songs. Funny. Timeless.
Barbara in her prime inhabits Dolly Levi as no other one can! We get to see her in glorious costumes singing the songs in her inimitable style with all of the charisma that makes her truly timeless. I have never seen the movie on the big screen but many times on the small screen. Would love to see it larger than life since you get to see all the smaller details that can be overlooked unless the film is up there larger than life. Thanks for the wonderful contest!
