    • Quotes

      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.

      Henrietta 'Henry' Robbins: He should buy you electrolysis, Helen, so the Brotherhood-of-TV-Dealers won't think ol' Fred is shacked up with some fat-ass grizzly bear!

    See this if you can.

    Barbra Streisand shines as a woman helping her husband (Michael Sarrazin) get through school, whatever it takes. What takes place is very funny because he has no idea what she does all day as he's working as a cab driver in New York City. She keeps all of her hilarious misdeeds from him, hoping to be able to make the money he needs for school. She'll do anything...all for Pete's sake. My rating: 8
