Although this one got left out by the Steisand fans, but it's really an okay movie. Streisend as a the wife of the decade, that would do anything for her depressed cab driver husband, even if it means driving a herd of cattle throughout New York city. Streisand sure has an eye for comedy, and she's doing her best in this film. Not hilariously funny but a pleasant 90 minute flick

Helen Robbins: You're just jealous.
Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins: Of what am I supposed to be jealous?
Helen Robbins: You're jealous because Fred has money and can buy me nice things.
