Englisch With the Barbra Streisand’s singing and cleavage in the lead roles, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever is a colourful film on the surface, but rather gives a grey impression. The last project made fully under director Vincente Minnelli's control (he later fought to no avail with American International Pictures over the final form of the subsequent A Matter of Time), the film fails to conceal the fact that behind it is a man who longs in vain to understand rapidly changing times. With respect to the period in which it was made, which favoured more aggressive filmmakers, the style is very sedentary with a slow pace and modest in its approach to the topic of love. Not even Jack Nicholson, apparently cast as the fashionable mascot of hippie films of the era, is able to give it any vitality. The only livelier singing performance (starting on the roof of a skyscraper) comes at the moment when most viewers, without a weakness for the golden era of Hollywood musicals, have either left or fallen asleep. 50% ()

Deutsch Die Entstehungsgeschichte von On a Clear Day You Can See Forever ist wirklich bewundernswert. Henry James schrieb 1917 den Roman "The Sense of the Past". Ein Jahrzehnt später, 1926, wird der Text in das Theaterstück "Berkeley Square" umgearbeitet. Unter diesem Titel entstanden eine Film- (1933, 1951) und eine Fernsehfassung (1959). Mitte der 1960er Jahre wurde das Stück unter dem neuen Titel "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" (1965) am Broadway aufgeführt. Und von dort ist es nur noch ein kleiner Schritt zu einem neuen Filmmusical mit einem neuen Musicalstar, Barbra Streisand, deren Partner der Nachfolger von Maurice Chevalier in Hollywood, Yves Montand, ist. Soviel zur Antwort auf die Frage, warum selbst ein scheinbar so moderner Stoff in der Vergangenheit feststeckt, und ein paar lustige Figuren wie Jack Nicholson mit einer Sitar werden daran nichts ändern.
