Synopsis:

This film represents Julie Andrews at the height of her popularity before the disastrous "Star" which almost brought an early end to her career. Directed by George Roy Hill, who also directed, "The Sting", 'Millie' is a film that has its tongue firmly implanted in the cheek from start to finish. Full of on camera asides, the film was actually shot like an old fashioned mello-drama, complete with villains, heroes, and plot twists galore.

Julie Andrews play our heroine out to prove she can hold her own with any man, only to fall apart in front of a handsome one, who mistakes her name as 'John'. ("Ok, John, pull up a chair and show us your goods!) The film is filled with one liners that will leave you breathless with laughter.

The cast is absolutely delightful in their contributions to the fun: Carol Channing coming fresh from "Hello Dolly" on Broadway is full of mirth. Mary Tyler Moore had just finished the Dick Van Dyke show on television and was known for her comic timing.

James Fox had just completed another film comedy called, "Those Magnificent Men and their Flying Machines". John Gavin plays the handsome "straight" man. And who can forget Bea Lillie stumbling through a phony "Chinese" accent.

A fun filled nostalgic journey back to another time is guaranteed in "Thoroughly Modern Millie", which only came about when the rights to "The Boyfriend", could not be purchased. It was a blessing really as what was created from scratch is one of the best original musicals to come from the 1960's. To quote Millie herself it's totally "terrif", "bonzer", and "swell" and makes highly recommended viewer to all lovers of fun filled, tuneful musicals that recall happier simpler times. Enjoy!
