This knowledge is forbidden to women under Jewish law, so she leaves home and disguises herself as a boy, in order to study at a yeshiva. She befriends a fellow student called Avigdor (Mandy Patinkin), who remains unaware that Yentl is a girl. Trouble arises when Avigdor breaks off his engagement to Hadass (Amy Irving) and asks Yentl to take his place. The film won an Academy Award for Best Song Score. Review: Barbara Streisand created a wonderful film - I watched it on release in the cinema, brought the soundtrack on LP, video and now DVD. I ordered on Monday 10th July, it was delivered on Thursday 13th July, watched it the same evening and wrote the review after watching the movie, which was a first for me. Barbara Streisand did an amazing job as Director, Producer, Writer, Singer and leading actor, the photography, soundtrack, production, acting and direction all very good. Barbara Streisand plays a Jewish girl who dresses as a boy to receive a religion education in Eastern Europe during 1904, all you need is a good imagination and an interest in the story. It’s quite amusing when she agrees to marry her best friend’s wife to be, as her husband; so much feeling and emotion when the man friend finds out she is a woman. It certainly deserved better reviews than I’ve read in film books; I’ve watched 5-star movies that are 10 times worse, which I’ve turned off after 20 minutes from boredom and despair. I hadn’t seen this film for many years, and for some reason I thought Streisand’s character ended up with Patinkin’s character at the end, but I was so wrong. At the end we see a close-up of Barbara singing “A Piece of Sky” on board ship, as the camera then pulls back as Barbara and the ship fade in to the distance. I’d like to be able to buy a special edition with a “Making Of” documentary with Barbara Streisand, Mandy Patinkin, Amy Irving and Nehemiah Persoff and the other professionals involved in the film.

Magical is the word. One of the sweetest film ever made: charming, moving, it's a truly delicate fable with both a poignant love story and a strong message at its core: follow your dreams, nothing is impossible! Beautifully photographed by British cinematographer David Watkin and directed by Barbra herself (also producing), the actors are all amazing especially Barbra who truly shines looking so beautiful both as a woman and disguised as man. Her skin is flawless and her bright blue eyes so clear, one can see through her beautiful sweet natured soul both as the actor and the remarkable lady she is in real life. Watching the bonus disc it is very interesting to get behind the scenes through the archival 8mm films from Barbra's private collection and learn about the incredible amount of difficulties (and years of truly dedicated hard work) she went through trying to bring the project to light. Handsome Mandy Patinkin and Amy Irving (looking so pretty and innocent) are also amazing in their roles and together with Barbra they all have perfect chemistry. The late Michel Legrand's music and Marilyn and Alan Bergman's lyrics are just perfect (conveying Yentl's inner feelings throughout the film). It's probably one of the finest film soundtracks ever made with Barbra's voice sounding so clear and vivid. Oh and that epic triumphant final scene beautifully filmed on a boat and of course THAT legendary 20 seconds note Streisand hits singing 'A piece of sky'...watch this film, they don't make them like this anymore! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/79606355-yentl-dvd-1983](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/79606355-yentl-dvd-1983) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
