Additional InformationIn early-20th-century Yonkers, a wealthy local merchant (Horace Vandergelder, played by Walter Matthau) hires matchmaker Dolly Levi (Barbra Streisand) to find a mate for him--but instead she decides to win him over for herself. His life is further complicated by his young niece, Ermengarde, who is determined to wed an artist Horace finds entirely unsuitable, and by his two hapless employees, who against Horace's wishes leave work to venture into New York so each can kiss a girl. Miserly, curmudgeonly, irascible Horace finds that matters have gotten completely out of his control--and the only person who seems to know exactly what is going on is the widowed Dolly Levi. The film is based on a succession of source material, beginning with the 1835 British play A DAY WELL SPENT by John Oxenford, Thornton Wilder's 1938 play THE MERCHANT OF YONKERS, and Wilder's successful 1954 adaptation of his own play, renamed THE MATCHMAKER, rewritten for Ruth Gordon and then made into a film by the same name in 1958 starring Shirley Booth. In 1964, Carol Channing starred in the story's next incarnation on Broadway: Michael Stewart's play HELLO, DOLLY! on which this film's screenplay is directly based.

Story ok. Songs go on a bit.
I bought this DVD as my kids love Wall-E. This is the exact film in Wall-E, which I was pleased to have bought the right thing. When we watched it, I thought the storyline was ok, but couldn't have been better if executed properly. The romance between Cornelius and Irene is a bit far fetched. They met briefly and she knew he wasn't sincere yet fell in love with him. I thought that was unrealistic. Also, the Horace and Dolly marriage was unrealistic. He had such disdain for her throughout the whole film, and there was no indication he loved her secretly at all, then suddenly, out of the blue, he proposes. None of the men have any integrity and when they eat the posh dinner without paying for it, there's no consequence for them. That's not a lesson I want my children to be learning. The whole thing was a bit weird and somewhat lacking. Having said that though, the music was catchy and well performed, and the dancing was well choreographed even if some of them went on a bit. I probably won't watch this film again, but it was nice to see the film that is portrayed in Wall-E.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
