Dolly Levi is a strong-willed matchmaker who travels to Yonkers, New York in order to see the miserly "well-known unmarried half-a-millionaire" Horace Vandergelder. In doing so, she convinces his niece, his niece's intended, and Horace's two clerks to travel to New York City.
Production
The parade scene bankrupted studios and invented the term 'overproduction.'
Costume
Streisand's feathered hats could signal aircraft. Iconic.
Acting
Walter Matthau's barely-contained rage versus Streisand's chaos is *chef's kiss*.
