Let's face it, though, this is an enormously talented artist; in my opinion she pos- sesses the vocal cords of the century. I haven't seen Yentl, but I believe she deserves a lot of credit for undertaking a seemingly impossible project with the mantle for success or failure almost entirely on her shoulders. What other woman has ever produced, directed, co- written and starred in a major motion picture? And don't you know a lot of people are just dying to see her fall on her face? Yentl officially had its premiere on those other two coasts on November 16, and it has, as expected, received mixed notices. Still, it looks as though Barbra adore it!
