'''Dolly Levi:''' Why, Mr. Sullivan, what ever put such a preposterous idea into my head? ...er, your head! }}
 
This famous 1964 [[The Musical|musical]], adapted from a Thornton Wilder play. ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matchmaker:The Matchmaker|The Matchmaker]]'' (itself based on an Austrian play, ''Einen Jux will er sich machen'', which was in turn based on an earlier English play, ''A Day Well-spent'') tells the tale of matchmaker and zany manipulator Dolly Levi (originally played by Carol Channing on Broadway). It's the turn of the 20th century in New York City, and after years of making matches for others she's out to make one for herself with the above-mentioned merchant Horace Vandergelder. In the process of doing so, she helps three other couples get together.
 
In 1969 it became [[The Movie]] starring Barbra Streisand as Dolly, becoming one of her best-known roles. Modern audiences, however, will probably recognize footage from the movie due to its [[Revival By Commercialization|use]] in the recent [[Pixar]] film ''[[WALL-E]]''.
