A Film is Born: The Making of 'Yentl' was a documentary about the making of Barbra Streisand's 1983 film directorial debut. The documentary included interviews with Ms. Streisand and producer Rusty Lemorande, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of Barbra filming the movie.
BBC producer Jane Lush brought in Iain Johnstone to write the script and conduct the interviews with Streisand and Lemorande while they were in London making Yentl.
The 40-minute special was edited to 25-minutes for the American market, with new narration added.
