She sure is! God had A special plan for her life. Beautiful voice and next, author. With her daughter, Emma Walton. What could be better than that for her second act? I am so blessed to have grown up when she was at her peak, although, I’m not sure she’s reached it yet! Love you Julie! Fighting cancer in our family so these words are heartfelt. Please don’t diminish them. Thank you.
It was fairly recently I learned that the line was "It's stylish to raise your skirt and bob your hair" and NOT "... raise your skirt above your hair"! Always wondered how Julie could deliver a line like that...
One of my all time favorite musicals. Plus it had 3 of my all time favorite performers - Julie Andrews, Mary Tyler Moore, and Carol Channing. What a winning combination.
Saw this when it first came out in the theatres (1967). Loved it ever since. I have it on video cassette and still watch it once in a while. Also saw the Broadway version which was spectacular. Had my picture taken with Harriet Harris who played Mrs. Meers in the show.
I saw this movie 6 times in the theater, often sitting thru 2 shows on a Sat afternoon. No video cassettes then. I loved everything about it. Jimmy (James Fox, also British) was adorable. That was my record until Star Wars - A New Hope- 8 times!
I love this opening sequence. It sets the tone for the rest of the film. It's a pity that the other songs in it aren't as good as this. The film, I think, is underrated. It's an enjoyable spoof of silent movies and has an excellent cast. But it belongs to Julie Andrews. She is in almost every scene and carries it wonderfully.
Don't think it's ever been underrated it was always massively admired and it was a big hit at the time you've probably just noticed it recently because you are young or something
Agree. I love the opening song, unfortunately the rest wasn’t quite a catch for me. I first thought it’s gonna one of those coming-of-age musical. Turns out it was a dark comedy and crimes 😅
My mother and grandmother took my sister and I to see this movie when it premiered at the brand new movie theater at the Roosevelt Field Mall on Long Island. 😊 I loved it! ❤
We did this musical in highly school. I still remember all the songs! Her corset popping always makes me laugh! Mainly because the same thing happened to me with a front hook bra. Was the last time I wore that thing. 😂
How I remember with fondness our TMM parties, where we'd get together, share our favorite takeout foods, and watch this glorious film together. Amazingly, George Roy Hill also directed Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid after this as well as Slaughterhouse Five never mind The Secret World of Henry Orient before it. He's one of cinema's unsung geniuses.
I think Julie Andrews was the funniest I have seen her in this movie. Unfortunately most other movies she was in at this time wanted her to classy and sweet. I love when she decides to be unspeakably fatal. The mugging and the looks she gives the camera are laugh out loud funny. This movie would be a classic if the studio had allowed the director to cut it as he wanted. They wanted a "Roadshow" movie so its to long and drags in places.

Way back in the day, on holidays the kids were bundled off to a movie so the parents could have some adult time away from the kids (NOTHING SALATIOUS, just card games and drinks.) We were usually in the care of a random aunt or such. One year, this was the movie! Have loved it ever since!
It messes with my brain that the thoroughly modern 1920s are a century ago. I can remember people still having furniture in their houses from that time. Not as antiques, just as ordinary, nothing special, furniture for every day use.
Was this on The Disney Channel in the late 1980s? I saw it a lot when I was a kid. It's an entertaining movie, and I like 1920s music these days. Raspberries!
@@frankieb43 It definitely has. "It's 1922" but they are dressed more like 1925 or even 1926 (that was when what we think of as the 1920s look actually came fully into play; skirts actually weren't _quite_ so short and waists quite so low earlier).
For ordinary women (not social climbers or members if the "in-crowd") hemlines wouldn't significantly rise until fabric rationing in the Second World War. Even then, exposed knees were seen as risqué.
Yes, I thought that too, but then I wandered over to Wikipedia and found this: Automatic elevators began to appear as early as the 1920s,[citation needed] their development being hastened by striking elevator operators which brought large cities dependent on skyscrapers (and therefore their elevators) such as New York and Chicago to their knees. Self service elevators were not allowed in New York City until 1922. Prior to this, non-luxury buildings that could not afford an attendant were built as five-story walk ups. These electromechanical systems used relay logic circuits of increasing complexity to control the speed, position and door operation of an elevator or bank of elevators. So, in 1922 self service elevators became a thing ! I imagine they weren't cheap so whether it is realistic to have a self-service elevator in that building is another question, of course.
@@fuzzylon Thanks for that detailed account - who knew? Of course, the buttons allowed for the comic scene to unfold as it did. I thought it was brilliantly conceived - and Bea Lillie's expression was priceless!
Nearly everything in this opening sequence is black, white, gray or maybe brown. There are a few green accents including Millie's beads, and at one point there's a green blouse on one extra and I think a green bow on a woman nearby. And there's the Yellow Taxi at the very end. Otherwise it's monochrome. I was surprised that when Millie changed into modern 1920s clothes she wasn't dressed in something really bright, as a counterpoint to everything else.
You might think Calvin Klein was involved! He always liked plain neutral colors and while that’s easy on the eyes after a while it becomes (like so many things) a tired cliche. The art deco period in the twenties often had rich jewel like colors in interior design and it must have overlapped into fashion. Photography was always black and white at the time but drawings and advertisements showed plenty of color. But color in fashion can also be cliched - in the 1957 movie “Funny Face” the magazine editor, after insisting that pink is the newest color, is asked why she is not wearing pink: she says “I wouldn’t be caught dead!”’
Both were nice - but then at that age she'd look great in any style. The short hairstyle was roughly what she stayed with outside films for many decades, though (even now).
Like so so so many movie musicals from the 1960s : way TOO LONG , and some scenes padded out with CLUNKER songs (See: Hello Dolly , Sweet Charity) . BUT all have a lot of BRILLIANT songs , fab COSTUMES and sets, and GREAT dancing. I wish I could EDIT THEM ALL.
The intro is very entertaining, but the film is too long and a lot of clunkers but with some funny ideas. Carol Channing is definitely a great Broadway star but she was overwhelming in movies. She made a picture directed by Otto Preminger which is truly awful. Julie Andrews is another star who had good movie roles and really bad ones

We live in a crazy world. So I felt bad my whole life for having a small chest but back then they forced them flat? What is beautiful? Whatever the world at the time thinks I guess. It's never been what I've got.
Julie Andrews is a gift to the world

You are so right!!!
Yes she is.
She so is
Love that movie. Mary Tyler Moore and Carol Channing were great in it too. "Raspberries!" And her boss kept calling her "John".

🤣
giggity
ROFL!
How could you not understand what she was saying? She sang in an English accent!
😂😂😂
Love this film , one of my favourite Julie Andrews movies , great songs , amusing , great cast .
One of my favourite Julie Andrew films as well
Unbeatable!!! In the 90's I walked around yelling "Raspberrieeees!" 😂 Good ol' Carol Channing❤
I love Julie Andrews' voice.
I’ve been a fan of her since Mary Poppins
One of my all time favorite musicals. Plus it had 3 of my all time favorite performers - Julie Andrews, Mary Tyler Moore, and Carol Channing. What a winning combination.
It was just on Turner Classic Movies
I geeked out when I realized Pat Morita, Mr. Miyagi, played one of the Chinese traffickers.
Saw this when it first came out in the theatres (1967). Loved it ever since. I have it on video cassette and still watch it once in a while. Also saw the Broadway version which was spectacular. Had my picture taken with Harriet Harris who played Mrs. Meers in the show.

She really sells the sense of liberation and freedom the character is feeling.
One of my favorite movies!
This is a delightful movie. She really brilliant and do great homework to portray her character 💕
Absolutely love this film. One of my all time favourite movies ❤
This film & Victor Victoria, are my favourite Julie Andrews movies.
Love that little lip bite Julie does after she steps out of the beauty parlor. Love her and this movie!
She's too cute
One of my all time favorite movies!!!
What a voice! Love this film and especially Beatrice Lilly - I still say "oh Pook!"
My mother always used to "Sad to be all alone in the world" in Nrs Meers' voice whenever anyone on TV said they had no family.
@@zacmumblethunder7466 haha! Brilliant!
The fashions & preferred body type of the late 1960’s were actually v.similar to the 1920’s.
Oh God. LOVE THIS BLOODY FILM!!!!! SUCH INNOCENT TIMES. ALAS!!!!!
Yes to BEATRICE LILLIE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
She nailed her character, didn't she.
One of those movies that just sticks with you. I love it.

One of my favourite films by far.
Wow how did I missed that movie? Looks adorable and Julie is a goddess of singing
Hermosa película. Julie era fantástica.
A top class film.This film shows what is missing from films today...entertainment.
Oh good grief!!! What a lovely movie, thank you🙏🏽
I had forgotten about this charming film. Haven't seen it since 1967.
What a joy and princess she is, simple, innocent, and related. Not much of that going on today.
One of my wife's favorite movies. Also saw the story done as dinner theater several years ago.
Man....fast service in that hair salon and the clothing store......things were so different back in those days.
I ❤ Julie Andrews is still alive loved it.
I adore the Technicolor movie musical style.

Was about to get into it again ( for the umpteenth time).
Lovely film and actors.
The costmes in this movie are sensational
Those theme tune lyrics fit the present day so well.
4:45 Bust band breaks! 😱
Excelente pelicula, una inigualable Julie Andrews, unica❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Oh por Dios una pelicula de mi infancia ,grandes actrices de comedia musical ,ojala estuviese completa ,viejos tiempos de recordar
This is best Julie Andrews is very much still alive.
Not only does Julie Andrews sing perfectly in tune but you can hear every word.
Way back in the day, on holidays the kids were bundled off to a movie so the parents could have some adult time away from the kids (NOTHING SALATIOUS, just card games and drinks.) We were usually in the care of a random aunt or such. One year, this was the movie! Have loved it ever since!
good old days with newspaper stands people walking on the street beautiful shops around
I Liked Julie Andrews is very still alive loved that much it.
From their perspective, this was, what, 40-some odd years in the past? It would be like a musical today made about 1980s. :-o
It messes with my brain that the thoroughly modern 1920s are a century ago. I can remember people still having furniture in their houses from that time. Not as antiques, just as ordinary, nothing special, furniture for every day use.
Not too unlike the line in an old Annette Funicello song The Flapper Flip that talks about how fun it was "thirty five years ago...!" Haha!
45 years, I believe, the same amount of time as now and 1979
I ❤ Julie Andrews.
I really would like to see these films
Maybe from Amazon?
Не видел этого фильма, Джулия потрясающа.
Was this on The Disney Channel in the late 1980s? I saw it a lot when I was a kid. It's an entertaining movie, and I like 1920s music these days. Raspberries!
"Bizarre technology, every day is tomorrow." Even back then.
Need to check if the hole movie has been upscaled. Mom would love to see a Julie Andrews movie with her sings.
Andrews once said of the opening "I seemed to transform from Mary Pickford into a bloke in a sack" 😂
Speaking of 1922, my grandmother was born in 1922...in Eastern Europe : )).
Love this movie 🎬
Now she can😢sing . SHE DIRECTING MANY STAGE SHOWS IN HER 88S. SO SHE IS STILL PERFORMING @ her best
Short hair just suits her so perfectly
Bea Lilly. Marvellous.
Жаль быстро закончилось, а то можно продолжать и продолжать! )
The full movie used to be on TH-cam, now I can't find it anywhere. 😢
Me encanta como se vestian antes de forma modesta, claro habra quienes seguro les incomodaba estar apretado, pero era sensato y logico. 😊
0:42 Julie has beautiful hair. I never watched this film, but if I were in Julie Andrew’s shoes, I would buy the 1920’s outfit but keep the long hair.
Her character is trying to keep up with the times. That was the first time in history that women wore short hair.
@@zyxw2000 I completely understand that.
Diamond on Earth
Parts of this show have not aged well, but it does have some really catchy numbers.
Shoo show shoo show lol
Your opinion....And, your reality....
Don’t be so freaking sensitive. 🙄
Some suspicious 1960s styling crept in there I think 😬. Most if it looks fab though
@@frankieb43 It definitely has. "It's 1922" but they are dressed more like 1925 or even 1926 (that was when what we think of as the 1920s look actually came fully into play; skirts actually weren't _quite_ so short and waists quite so low earlier).

Dresses would still fall below the knee line in 1922.
For ordinary women (not social climbers or members if the "in-crowd") hemlines wouldn't significantly rise until fabric rationing in the Second World War. Even then, exposed knees were seen as risqué.
Yes but 1926 doesn't rhyme with "what women'll do"
Great💘✨…
One of my favourite movie openings. However, I don't think elevators in the '20's had push buttons - they had elevator operators.
Yes, I thought that too, but then I wandered over to Wikipedia and found this:

This may be implied a sequel to Pygmalion ,Eliza in the world outside after leaving Higgins ..😊

@@radamik Yes, the '20s got extremely colorful, including such diverse and unexpected things as bathroom fixtures and even cameras.
I grew up on this. Seems like a much happier time.
1967 was chaotic. Vietnam, riots in the colleges, protests marches, hippies...
1922 or 1967?
can anyone recommend movies with similar charming vibes ?
I'm not sure if it's this film or STAR! But one of them fixed it where she couldn't do the film version of Camelot......this film was more fun!
01:35 Lovely
I never realized just how pretty Julie Andrews legs are until I saw this film.
And why that happened lol 04:45?
Popped out her corset.
Wow it’s like they almost invented house music in the opening scene
Name please?
Thoroughly Modern Millie
Songs of Cahn & Van Heusen..
1920s fashion
shu show
1:11 Reminds me of Saoirse
Saoirse Ronan?
Yes@@zyxw2000
Goes to get to get fashionable 1920ies shoes hat and dress. Come out in the most mod drop waist I've ever seen
Gee, I wish my fronts weren’t so full … they sure ruined the line of your beads.
I just learned Julie Andrew's was married to Blake Edward. Ok, so I am a bit slow, by 50 years.
She narrated a bio of Edwards on PBS 2 weeks ago. It was wonderful.
personally i prefer her edwardian to her charleston look. love how people used to be sane: she felt flattered when she made the boys turn heads

second near the end???
