A deeper dimension, if not a whole new definition, has been added to the word "pest" by Barbra "Blabbermouth" Streisand, as a successful perfume manufacturer (her nose is her fortune), who, for far-fetched financial reasons, assumes managership of a reluctant prizefighter. She reads him tips from a boxing-for-boys manual during his sparring sessions; she butts into his corner between rounds to give him advice like "Try to remember to hit him more than he hits you" — in short, she does things that would not be funny even if someone other than Barbra Streisand were doing them. We are awarded a wide variety of views of the star's hindquarters, but these are not enough to compensate for the tongue that never rests, the nose that knows, and the new reddish hair tint that does not go at all well with the rose and rust colors Streisand is always wearing or standing in front of. With Ryan O'Neal; directed by Howard Zieff. (1979) — Duncan Shepherd
