Love it or hate it Yentl is movie history. It was the first time a woman was
1) The star
2) the director
3) The writer
4) Sang
The movie was called by "Hollywood Insiders" Tootsie on the Roof. However men have been doing the same thing for years. They did not get the scorn that Barbra did.
Yentl was released in 1983. It got mixed reviews. However I beg the people who reviewed it in 1983 to watch it again! The movie is a masterpiece.
If you have never seen Yentl please watch it! Barbra did a great job. This was her first time directing and nobody else could of done a better job.
Now here it is 2007. The movie needs to be re-discovered. DVD has been around for 10 years now but YENTL is not available on DVD in the United States. Why is that?
When the DVD does get released I hope they include the 20/20 show that devoted the entire show on YENTL.
As much as I love Yentl I will say it is a little long however even non Barbra Fans will enjoy this movie!
