For Pete's Sake -- Superstar Barbra Streisand is superb as a young wife who'll do anything to finance her husband's dreams.

Barbra Streisand stars in this wacky screwball comedy that follows the antics of a big-mouthed Brooklyn housewife who is desperate to send her cab-driving husband, Pete, back to college. Betting on an unreliable tip, Streisand borrows money from a loan shark to buy pork belly futures.

Legendary superstar Barbra Streisand brings her magic to the screen as Henrietta ('Henry'), the devoted but zany wife of cabby Pete (Michael Sarrazin). Henry will stop at nothing to put Pete through school, so when Pete gets a hot tip on the stock market, Henry raises $3,000, convincing him that the loan came from her rich uncle instead of the local loan shark! But as the stock tumbles, the interest rate escalates - and so does the pace as Henry gets herself into one wacky mess after another trying to earn the money back before Pete finds out. A hilarious farce with a marvelous supporting cast, including 1967 Oscar?-winner Estelle Parsons (Best Supporting Actress for Bonnie and Clyde), Molly Picon, William Redfield . . . and a Brahma Bull!
