I love this movie! No, DCM, it’s not my favorite, maybe “one of my favorites” but not my favorite.

This is the story of Daisy Gamble, who goes to a psychiatrist to help her quit smoking because she wants to impress her fiance’s potential employers. As he tries to help her with hypnosis, they go through some past life regression and it turns out that she was several people throughout history. The psychiatrist falls in love with one of the past lives while Daisy falls for the doctor because she thinks that he is falling for her, in real time.

In addition to past life regression, she knows when the phone is going to ring, knows where to find things you might be missing and can make plants grow, I mean really grow! She reads Walt Whitman to them, go figure!

There is hilarity, confusion, stories, anger, love, hurt, great costumes and sets and song. Come on, when is there a Barbara Streisand movie that doesn’t involve her singing? So, now you know, it’s a Barbara Streishand movie! It also stars Yves Montand as the psychiatrist, Dr Chabot. Jack Nicholson plays Tad, her former brother, sort of and Bob Newhart as a college administrator.

I remember seeing this movie as a kid, I enjoyed it, mostly because I love Barbara Streisand’s older movies and because she reminds me so much of my mom, who loved Barbara Streisand and her movies. I smile when I watch it.
