Thoroughly Modern Millie | Year: 1967 Classification: Musical Directed: - George Roy Hill Actors/Actresses: - Julie Andrews - James Fox TERRIF, OH DELISH! This is wonderfully entertainig and is simply... well, TERRIF!Julie Andrews is hilarious in this rather camp look on the zany 20's. Mary Tyler Moore, i found was rather anoying at first but then i fell in love with her. Carol Channing is simply bonkers, thats the only word i can describe Muzzy with and John Gavin is brilliant as Trevor Graydon, and i found it hysterically funny when he started to refer to Millie as "John" but the funniest thing was, i thought it rather suited her!!!! Altogether this is just Fun Fun Fun and if you want a little chuckle then by this wonderful movie. One of the best movies I have ever seen! This is a wonderful movie! I try to introduce it to everyone I know,-it is that good. Julie Andrews stars as a young woman of the 20's fresh out of business school, and in the big city. She becomes roommate with fresh-face Mary Tyler Moore. It is very funny, and entertaining. The two break into dance at any given moment. For example, during an arguement,the two young women step onto the elevator. The elevator is jammed, and the only way to get it to go is to dance. So here they are, dancing and arguing.--For twenty floors up. It is also a romance, but very clean. My girls first watched it at age 5 and 9 and they still love it! Great for a snowy day! I get this video as a gift for people of all ages. This is well worth the money!-I promise! My, Oh my This film is well interesting. Julie Andrews played the role the best she could, however I don't think it is close to her at her best...(Her best was Sound of Music, by far). Yet, she did excellent and as always her voice is lovely. I thought Mary Tyler Moore did a fine job as Miss Dorothy. The trouble with the movie comes with Carol Channing. She played this role so annoyingly I almost wanted Mrs. Meers to knock her over the head when they were fighting, I mean how did this girl make it? She can't sing, can't dance and can't act...a triple blow. Also James Fox was a mess. There was absolutely no chemistry between him and Julie. (Don't watch Sound of Music before this movie because after watching Julie and Chris Plummer you won't be able to believe that Millie and Jimmy are in love.) Another thing that bothered me was there was a lot of mind singing, so the thoughts were sung in the background while things happened. The opening number was great, yet it would have been even better if it was a big number sung by everyone. I guess the reason I am hard on this movie is because the new stage production is a million times better. The Muzzy we saw was African American and totally right for the role...inspiring not obnoxtious. Millie and Jimmy were convincing and the new and improved songs were not my favorite, but pretty good. There were showstopping numbers and it was never boring. So see the new TMM! Buy Thoroughly Modern Millie at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
