Title: Original better than remake
Review: "The Matchmaker" is the basis for the musical "Hello Dolly," and this film is far better than Gene Kelly's or Gower Champion's musical version, if you can live without the lavish production numbers and Barbra Streisand. A far more amusing and professional ensemble cast, doing a fine adaptation of Thornton Wilder's bright, insightful play. Not that I dislike Walter Matthau, mind you, it's just that I like Paul Ford better in this role. Buy it if you can find it.
