Description & Facts: 1969 www.amazon.com Hello, Dolly! is a 1969 American musical film, based on the Broadway production of the same name. The film follows the story of Dolly Levi (Barbra Streisand), a strong-willed matchmaker who travels to Yonkers, New York in an attempt to find a match for the miserly "well-known unmarried half-a-millionaire," Horace Vandergelder. In doing so, she convinces his niece, her intended, and Horace's two clerks to travel to New York City. Gene Kelly directed producer Ernest Lehman's screenplay. The cast included Barbra Streisand, Walter Matthau, Michael Crawford, Danny Lockin, Tommy Tune, Fritz Feld, Marianne McAndrew, EJ Peaker and Louis Armstrong, whose recording of the title tune was a #1 hit in the mid-1960s. It was photographed in 65 mm Todd-AO by Harry Stradling Sr. Possibly the last great Hollywood musical has its flaws, but the soundtrack is not among them. Working under the musical direction of Lionel Newman and Lennie Hayton, the very large team of orchestrators included: film stalwarts Herbert W. Spencer, Alexander Courage; the original Broadway production arranger, Philip J. Lang, making a rare film outing; along with pop arrangers Don Costa and Frank Comstock. * "Call On Dolly" * "Just Leave Everything To Me" • * "Main Titles (Overture)" * "It Takes a Woman" * "It Takes a Woman (Reprise)" * "Put on Your Sunday Clothes" * "Ribbons Down My Back" * "Dancing" * "Before the Parade Passes By" * "Intermission" * "Elegance" * "Love Is Only Love" * "Hello
