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? :-)
