there be two film of this genre represent the rise and a star be bear . the divine ms. m turn in a performance that top kriskristofferson and barbara streisand with ease ( use one of kristofferson song and a drag queen streisand impersonator . ) . this film be a novelty or mockumentary take on a janis joplin type . obviously and ms. middler would have make a documentary if she hadwanted . . . so this be bette jump off where she feel she cangive an over the top performance . there be no bad part to this film . there be no bad song . thewhole film have high production value and be comparable to thelast waltz in the intensity of the performance . my favorite song be fire down below a dynamite performance . somehow the performance be leave off of the soundtrack albumand the only decent cover be bob seger . if you want to see bette act and sing at a level few can hopeto equal represent watch the film .
