On A Clear Day You Can See Forever

Starring: Barbra Streisand, Yves Montand, Bob Newhart, et al.

Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of a classic, for the first time on Blu-ray. The talents of acclaimed director Vincente Minnelli (Meet Me in St. Louis, An American In Paris) and legend Barbra Streisand combine to bring this Broadway production to the screen in grand fashion. Streisand is Daisy Gamble, a kooky chain-smoker desperate to kick the habit. She finds the perfect cure in the form of Dr. Marc Chabot (Yves Montand), a psychiatrist who uses hypnosis. However, when Daisy goes into a trance, she can regress into past lives and different personalities including "Melinda," a 19th-century English coquette. And before you can say amour, Dr. Marc has fallen in love with the enthralling, elusive Melinda... while Daisy, in turn, finds herself falling head-over-heels for the handsome hypnotist! Bob Newhart and Jack Nicholson add to the tune-filled fun in this romantic romp.

Customer Reviews

Rise and look around you.

This film was directed by the same great director of “The Reluctant Debutante” and “Gigi,” Vincente Minnelli. Born: 28 February 1903, Died: 25 July 1986 (aged 83). As with many films, the story suffers a little from the lack of spontaneity of the Broadway version, yet it holds the essence and was not modified too much for the actors or media type. Some great songs arise from this play, adapted to film. Daisy Gamble (Barbra Streisand) seems extraordinary in such abilities as raising flowers that are unresponsive and hearing telephones before they ring. However, she needs to stop smoking and turns to hypnosis to help. Dr. Marc Chabot (Yves Montand)(1921-1991), in an attempt to help her, discovers a whole new woman and falls in love with this other woman. However, the woman is the result of Daisy’s regression. This poses a difficulty. Especially if Daisy finds out. This movie created the I.T. saying, “On a clear disk, you can seek forever.”
