"Watch Closley Now" IS hilarious and so is the buffoonery of Gary Busey. Did you know that Elvis Presley was Barbara's first choice to play Kristofferson's part (and it probably would have saved his life because he was planning on getting in shape), but Col Parker could not come to financial terms and since Streisand was financing the movie herself, she looked for other options (just a bit of extensive music trivia on the house).

Good job!
