The songs feature lyrics by Lerner and music by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burton_Lane" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Burton Lane</a>. The plot follows a hypnotherapist who discovers that his meek patient has an enigmatic past life as a 19th century aristocrat and begins to fall in love with her.PlotAt the behest of her mainstream conservative fiancé Warren, scatterbrained five-pack-a-day <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_smoking" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">chain smoker</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clairvoyance" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">clairvoyant</a> Daisy Gamble attends a class taught by psychiatrist Marc Chabot for help in kicking her habit. She becomes unintentionally hypnotized and manages to convince Chabot to attempt to cure her nicotine addiction with hypnotherapy. While undergoing hypnosis, it is discovered she is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reincarnation" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reincarnation</a> of Lady Melinda Winifred Waine Tentrees, a seductive 19th century coquette who was born the illegitimate daughter of a kitchen maid. She acquired the paternity records of the children housed in the orphanage where her mother had to send her and used the information to blackmail their wealthy fathers. She eventually married nobleman Robert Tentrees during the period of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Regency" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">English Regency</a>, then was tried for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionage" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">espionage</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">treason</a> after he abandoned her.As their sessions progress, complications arise when Chabot begins to fall in love with Daisy's exotic former self and Daisy begins to fall for him, and his university colleagues demand he either give up his reincarnation research or resign his position with the school. While waiting for Chabot in his office, Daisy accidentally hears a tape recording of one of her sessions and when she discovers Chabot's interest is limited to Melinda, she storms out of the office. When she returns for a final meeting with him, she mentions fourteen additional lives, including her forthcoming birth as Laura and subsequent marriage to the therapist in the year 2038.In Daisy's life her former stepbrother Tad shows up and she is thrilled to see him. It is clear to see that they have an easy rapport, contrasting with Warren who never asks or listens to her opinion and often tells her what to do, what to wear, and what to say. One day Tad is on the roof of Daisy's apartment building where she gardens and tells Warren that he thinks Daisy should marry him instead as he can make her happy and he is rich. At the end of the film Daisy breaks up with Warren and it is implied that she connects with Tad.Cast<ul><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbra_Streisand" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Barbra Streisand</a> as Daisy Gamble (Melinda, Lady Tentrees)</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yves_Montand" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Yves Montand</a> as Marc Chabot</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Blyden" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Larry Blyden</a> as Warren Pratt</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Newhart" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bob Newhart</a> as Dr. Mason Hume</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Oakland" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Simon Oakland</a> as Dr. Conrad Fuller</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Richardson_(actor)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">John Richardson</a> as Sir Robert Tentrees</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Nicholson" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jack Nicholson</a> as Tad Pringle</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mabel_Albertson" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mabel Albertson</a> as Mrs. Hatch</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Kinnear" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Roy Kinnear</a> as The Prince Regent, later <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_George_IV" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">King George IV</a></li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irene_Handl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Irene Handl</a> as Winnie Wainwhisle, Melinda's mother (a kitchen maid in the household of the Prince Regent)</li><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamela_Brown_(actress)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pamela Brown</a> as Mrs <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Fitzherbert" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Maria Fitzherbert</a></li></ul>
