Watched this one on a bean bag in the living room with mom one day, maybe 1974. We talked about it in 2009 before she passed, and I rented it on Netflix for us to watch. Thanks to this channel I grabbed it last night off of Amazon. Still funny, a great watch, 50ish years on. Great memories, thanks so much.

One of my favorite comedies. If I can fall in love with the screwball comedies of the 1930s--long before my time, young people today can enjoy the humor in What's Up Doc?.

Always get a kick out of this movie. I think it's one of Streisand's best. And yes, Madeline Kahn is out of this world.

Great video. You speak about this stuff really well. Will check out the movie.

one of may all-time fave movies

This is my favorite movie!!!!

Not known for comedy? Barbra was already known for comedy when she made this movie. She was already known as an all-around talent and after numerous TV guest spots doing humorous bits and after doing comedy musicals on Broadway and and after several romantic comedy movies, her ability to be funny was not doubted. After her first TV special in 1965 "...The United Press International proclaimed 'She is so great it is shocking. She may well be the most supremely talented and complete popular entertainer that this country has ever produced.'" When WUD opened, NO ONE was saying, "Streisand in a comedy??? It can't be!"

the last great screwball comedy. for real. this really one of those-"they don't make 'em like they used to"-movies! and yes! Barbra has never been sexier! or better! this is my favorite performance of hers on film. for real. she is marvelous. and gorgeous. and so fun, so smart, so funny, so dear, so outrageous. she really is perfection. as is sexy Ryan O'Neal. and INTRODUCING (!) Madeline Kahn?! OMG! I mean-come on! to see this film in a big crowded theatre-the entire crowd all laughing and carrying on-it was an event! it was thrilling! so great!! also the romance! Howard and Judy have to get together! they have to! magnificent. I love your review here. right on! and I didn't know this was the 2nd highest grossing movie of that year! amazing!! ps. Barbra should have done more of these types of roles. this is where her acting gifts really are the strongest, I feel. she is just a delight in every way in this film. thanks for posting. I've liked and subscribed.

Saw it the first time on TV when I was a kid (early 90s). Loved loved the loony jokes. So as an adult, I bought the Special Edition DVD. And guess what? It still holds up after 50 years. Silly, stupid, clever..

Streisand was inarguably the biggest female movie star of her era.

This was a regular feature on the ABC Friday Night Movie during the ‘70s. It’s still really funny, IMO.

Actually Whats up Doc was a screwball comedy, a 70s screwball film indebted to earlier 30s comedies. Bogdanovich knew Howard Hawks who he had interviewed when he was writing about film prior to becoming a director. No surprise that he essentially did this riff on Bringing Up Baby, Hawk's comedy.

You had me at whatever

Also co-written by Robert Benton and David Newman, who wrote Bonnie and Clyde

Peter Bogdanovich came up with the story? (2:05) This film hearkens back to older screwball comedies? (5:38) Well--sort of. _What's Up Doc?_ was very directly inspired by Howard Hawks' 1938 film _Bringing Up Baby._ Watching the beginning of _What's Up Doc?_ seems very much like a remake of the earlier film, but it soon veers off into an entirely different story. Bogdanovich described his film as "an homage" to _Bringing Up Baby._ Hawks' film is also a great film, and I would encourage everyone to watch it--maybe even make a double feature of it with _What's Up Doc?._

I liked Barba's comedies. This was good, but I think For Pete's Sake was even better.

Still holds up - Kenneth Mars soooo funny, as well as the whole cast. Catch "Field of Honor," Robert Zemeckis USC student film - same zany humor, VERY funny...kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9NlYLeC3dOnfXU.html
