Barbra makes a "cameo" appearance in everybody's favorite disco musical Can't Stop the Music!(much better than Thank God it's Friday, Xanadu, Roller Boogie, and Skatetown U.S.A. combined if you ask me). In the top photo you can see a reflection of the Funny Girl broadway poster in the mirror. In the bottom photo you can see just a portion of it (Bruce Jenner blocks most of it).
Colleges could order movies for screenings on their campus through specialty film catalogues. Hello, Dolly! was available at one time in two different versions! One version ran 145 minutes long and a shorter version ran at 118 minutes (and at a savings of $50)! I say splurge and spend the extra money. I would be curious to see the abbreviated version. They probably cut out some of the musical numbers.
Way back in the early '80s a series of bootleg records was available for a limited time. I was on their mailing list (I think from being a subscriber to Barbra magazine) and ordered what they had available. This was a big deal at the time. Nowadays most of this is available for free on the internet.
Mad magazine did a satire on The Way We Were. Great artwork and funny to boot.
