Negative Positive
Title: A worthy follow-up to "The First Decade"
Review: Revisiting Barbra Streisand's 'first decade' in show business, and taking her career through to her 1981 comedy "All Night Long", James Spada has done another terrific job examining the multi-faceted, sexy, tempermental and talented diva. Each of Streisand's films is given its own chapter, complete with lots of photographs(some never before seen). Spada soft-peddles some of Streisand's more chaotic battles with co-stars or directors, but many are present in interviews to give their thoughts. As with Spada's "Barbra: The First Decade", Streisand's music career isn't quite as fully explored as her movie work, and some of Spada's details are askew(David Bowie didn't write "Space Captain", for instance). Still, this is a very fine collection of photos and stories and must be included in any Streisand collection.
