 | It's a very amusing movie, with lovely costumes and sets. Julie Andrews as "countrygirl" in the big city! Fantastic to see. |

| I found the liner notes of this record when I was very young, and was enchanted at the story. Finally, one day, I saw the original movie on late night t.v. I stayed up all night to see it, It instantly became my all-time favorite movie. It was just so much fun! so silly, and so great seeing a young Mary Tyler Moore, and Carol Channing and Julie Andrews were great. I had a massive crush on James Fox and dreamed of some day meeting someone who looked like him. I loved all the wacky dance numbers. I loved the authentic details that the director had clearly gone to a great deal of trouble to produce.
I've watched it many times since then, bought screening mementos, tapes, press kits, etc. I treasure all of them. |

| A rather complex and somewhat silly story of orpahn girls in white slavery is at the centre of this film, enter heaps of opportunity for farce,comedy, and hilarity, particualry as twists and double twists ensue around the characters portrayed by Fox, Channing and Moore.
Julie Andrews is at her best in terms of vocal dexterity and high camp comedy, she lets the role slip a little by playing the all American girl with the clipped BBC accent?? Didn't work for me anyway! Channing did well with the awards on this film but in my opinion it should have been Lillie. Channing is loud and excruiatingly irritating, Lillie in contrast is extremely witty and her comic timing is spot on. |

| As a child growing up in the 70's, this was a favorite movie with all my friends. Every birthday party usually began with "Thoroughly Modern Millie" on 16mm film projector. Today, my friends and I still use a few expressions we picked up from Carol Channing and Julie Andrews.
This is a funny and entertaining musical that takes place in the 1920's. I still enjoy seeing it everynow and then. |

| The movie is great, a terrific spoof on the 1920's,really funny and with some great songs.As for acting,Julie Andrews and Mary Tyler Moore are SO GOOD! And Bea Lillie is,as always,brilliant. She was a comic genius.I don't see why some person complained about Jimmy Fox.He was perfect as Julie's boyfriend.And you can't compare this movie to "The Sound of Music".Two completely different kinds of film.Any perceptive person could see that.And now to answer the unfair criticism of Carol Channing.Sure,her acting was over-the-top,but the character of Muzzy IS over the top.Her singing is great,and she dances up a storm.A wonderful performance! To appreciate the artistry of Channing you must see her in person.She can enchant and hold an audience better than anyone I have ever seen on the stage.Her "Dolly" is sublime.She is one of the greats.I recommend this video to anyone who loves great fun,great songs,and smashing performances from all involved.Buy it,you won't be disappointed.
