Brolin feared new film was too risque for Streisand

Veteran actor James Brolin was so uncomfortable with the risque language littered throughout his new comedy The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, he refused to tell his wife Barbra Streisand about the part he was filming.

Brolin stars alongside Jeremy Piven and Ving Rhames in the film, about a used-car salesman who is hired to save a flailing auto dealership.

Piven reveals the script is so full of adult references, even 69-year-old Brolin was left blushing - but Streisand loved it.

He tells New York Post columnist Cindy Adams, "(The movie)'s a bit raunchy. Also, the language is racy. James Brolin said he wouldn't even tell his wife the kind of role he was shooting. But then we had a private screening, and Barbra Streisand laughed the loudest."
