| David Janssen, fresh off THE FUGITIVE and half-Jewish as well, was close to being cast as Arnstein when Sharif entered the picture. I think many male stars were afraid of being blown off the screen by Streisand, though she had great chemistry with many of her leading men. | |

| Barbra Streisand was 27 and Walter Matthau was 49 when they made the film version of "Hello, Dolly!" It's interesting that there's more of an age difference between Beanie & Bobby. | |

| "Dolly" is different though, in that Matthau almost always read as older, and Dolly is after his money from that start, not necessarily in a romantic way. Dolly is after security --- and maybe some company as well. She's not gaga in love or attracted to him the way Fanny is when she sees Nicky Arnstein and his fancy tuxedo shirt. | |

| No, but it is kinda hard to feel the impact of Dolly's story when she's only 27. Boy, it's such a magnificent return to the human race when you haven't been to Harmonia Gardens in, what - a month? :-) | |
