It's our first foray into Barbra territory and Matt Emert (@mattybrooks116) was our guide as we navigated our way through Yentl (1983). Not only our introduction to Babs on film but more importantly - Mandy Patinkin's heinie. Barbra herself starred, directed and produced this "film with music" about a Jewish girl who disguises herself as a boy to enter religious training. Along the way Yentl meets and falls for the super-fine Avigdor (Patinkin), MARRIES the naive Haddas (Amy Irving) and talk-sings (but somehow still belts) her way through every song on the soundtrack. Through it all Yentl somehow manages to keep her secret while I would have risked it all after that infamous skinny dipping adventure. It's episode 19 of Movies That Made Us Gay!
