What is Funny Lady / Misery about?

FUNNY LADY, 1975, Sony Repertory, 136 min. Dir. Herbert Ross. Barbra Streisand’s continuation of the life of Ziegfield star Fanny Brice features songs by John Kander and Fred Ebb (CABARET, CHICAGO) and Peter Matz. Streisand is terrific as the star who falls for Billy Rose (James Caan) while trying to purge herself of her love for Nick Arnstein (Omar Sharif). MISERY, 1990, Warner Bros., 107 min. Dir. Rob Reiner. When novelist James Caan has a car accident, he's lucky - or so it would seem - to be rescued by his "biggest fan," a nurse (Kathy Bates) eager to care for him. Unfortunately, Caan's would-be savior is not happy with the direction his writing is taking and will stop at nothing - including murder - to "help" him. Discussion following with James Caan.
