Based on the Broadway hit of the same name, the filmed adaptation of HELLO, DOLLY! (1969) tells the story of widowed matchmaker Dolly Levi and her intricate plan to find a wife for wealthy Horace Vandergelder – impeccably rendered as a loveable curmudgeon by the inimitable Walter Matthau. Dolly herself is brought to the screen by none other than AFI Life Achievement Award honoree Barbra Streisand, directed here by another honoree – Gene Kelly!
