Plot
In 1890, in New York, the bold and enchanting widow Dolly Levi (Barbra Streisand) is a socialite-turned-matchmaker. Her latest clients seeking assistance are the cantankerous "half-a-millionaire" Horace Vandergelder (Walter Matthau) and a young artist named Ambrose (Tommy Tune), who is in love with Horace's niece, Ermengarde (Joyce Ames). Dolly's scheming soon involves Horace's employees as well as a New York hatmaker, as she tries to cover up her own secret romantic designs.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Very beautiful songs that fit the movie, like Put on your Sunday Clothes and It Only Takes a Moment, and it's very faithful to the songs itself.
 * 2) Great cinematography.

Reception
Although the film received mixed reviews from critics, it was well-received by the moviegoers and fans of the songs with a 7.1/10 on IMDb.

Trivia

 * Most of the songs that were infamously featured in 2008's Wall-E
