If you loved The Best Years of Our Lives, try Funny Girl

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by William Wyler, and they both carry the cozy, cult, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Best Years of Our Lives, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

Here's a film about a funny girl, as the title may suggest. Fanny Brice rises through the ranks to stardom, finding love with a charming gambler along the way. It's a classic rags-to-riches story, with show tunes.
