Hello Dolly! (1969)

Dolly Levi: And on those cold winter nights, Horace, you can snuggle up to your cash register. It's a little lumpy, but it rings!

---

Horace: It takes a woman all powdered and pink to joyously clean out the drain in the sink!

---

Dolly Levi: [singing] It takes a woman to quietly plan to take him and change him to her kind of man and to gently lead him where fortune can find him and not let him know that the power behind him was that dainty woman, that fragile woman, that sweetheart, that mistress, that wife.

The original design of Barbra Streisand's gold-beaded gown shown in the Harmonia Gardens scene weighed 40 pounds and cost $8,000. Twice during rehearsals, she tripped over its 2.5-foot train. Other dancers also tripped over it during rehearsal, so the train was taken off the dress. The train is shown intact when Streisand starts down the stairs, but later it disappears.
The facade of the Harmonia Gardens still stands as of 2010 on the 20th Century Fox lot, though the park across the street is long gone.
Michael Kidd (choreographer) broke his leg during rehearsal while showing a routine to dancers.
