Hello, Dolly!

Based On “Hello, Dolly!”

Hello, Dolly! is a 1969 American musical romantic comedy film based on the 1964 Broadway musical by Michael Stewart, which was based on Thornton Wilder's 1954 Broadway play The Matchmaker. Directed by Gene Kelly and written and produced by Ernest Lehman, the film stars Barbra Streisand, Walter Matthau, Michael Crawford, and Louis Armstrong (whose recording of the title tune had been a number-one hit in May 1964), with Marianne McAndrew, Danny Lockin, E. J. Peaker Tommy Tune, and Fritz Feld. The film follows the story of Dolly Levi, a strong-willed matchmaker who travels to Yonkers, New York, to find a match for the miserly "well-known unmarried half-a-millionaire" Horace Vandergelder.
