How is the conclusion of the film version of FUNNY GIRL more satisfying than the stage production? Is it because one of Styne's best ballads ("The Music That Makes Me Dance") was replaced by Brice's signature song "My Man" in the movie? Other than reprising "Don't Rain On My Parade" on stage, I can't recall any other changes that actually improved the book's ending in its transition to film. Guess I might have to buy the book.
