He eventually runs himself into financial ruin, and is busted for his part in a bonds scam. A Sequel to the film version, Funny Lady, was released in 1975. While Funny Girl was met with critical acclaim, Funny Lady was widely panned, becoming one of the lowest rated movie musicals in history. Ironic, because Funny Girl is one of the most highest rated movie musicals in history.
