Title: Well, Hello Gorgeous (Transfer)
Review: This DVD transfer of ON A CLEAR DAY is absolutely gorgeous. Even uninterested boyfriends walking through the flat stopped to say "wow, look at that picture." And the film itself is actually much more charming and fun than I had remembered. Streisand, especially in the astonishing Cecil Beaton costumed scenes, looks, well, gorgeous too. I don't know much about the history of the shooting of this film, but it feels as if there must be tons of the contemporary day Daisy footage left on the cutting room floor -- e.g, Jack Nicholson just drifts in and out of the film with no purpose at all of being there. Unfortunately, there are no extras at all on this disc. But again, what a transfer. Let's hope Paramount does as good a job with Julie Andrews' DARLING LILI in April 2005 (with extras!).
