Fresh from the overwhelming triumph of My Name Is Barbra CBS network executives requested a follow-up special. It is a show-business axiom that sequels generally fail to live up to the original but in the case of Colour Me Barbra the odds were most assuredly beaten by a wide margin. Filmed in spectacular colour this companion piece to her first special is one for the ages. The vibrant colours become a metaphor for imagination inventiveness fantasy and sheer brilliance. Considered by many to be a ""bookend"" to My Name Is Barbra - Colour Me Barbra is in every way the equal of its predecessor.
