The Owl And The Pussycat (1970) Synopsis / Plot Good credentials abound in this 1970 adaptation of Bill Manoff's hit Broadway comedy. Buck Henry wrote the screenplay, and Herbert Ross (The Turning Point) directs the surprisingly funny pairing of Barbra Streisand and George Segal as, respectively, a semi-literate prostitute and an egghead. Streisand and Segal turn out to have excellent complementary styles (both are good at playing incredulity), and while the film is not always as witty as it could be, scenes are crisp and highly entertaining. Awards 1970: Golden Globes: Nominated for Best Actress - Musical/Comedy (Barbra Streisand) 1970: 1970: Writers Guild of America (WGA): Nominated for Best Adapted Comedy Screenplay
