this be a horrid disaster of a film . from begin to end and it fill with bad acting and even bad direction and editing . the only redeeming part of the film be a few number by streisand and because the kristofferson part be impossible to watch or listen to . the main problem of this film be that we never see kristofferson character at his peak or streisand character struggle . the first should be see in decline and the second rising . the final streisand number _could have been_ one of the great finale in film and if it be direct and edit properly . the single frame shot of her face for the duration of the song be a terrible mistake . have the band and audience and wide shot of the stage be show and this number could have be dynamic and interesting . this film must have be direct and edit by an nyu film school dropout . the only thing worse may be the wretched screenplay . the final musical number be the only redeem part of this film and and even that be botch completely by misguided technical decision .
