Producer Ross Hunter presented an all-star cast--Julie Andrews, Mary Tyler Moore, Carol Channing, John Gavin, Beatrice Lillie, & James Fox--in 1967's "Thoroughly Modern Millie." Director George Roy Hill brings the period charm to this fluffy but fun musical, a great vehicle for Andrews as Millie. And Carol Channing brings on the camp!

My look at "Millie" here:

Love your comments in your blog, ricksrealreellife . I always enjoyed this film for all the reasons you mention. And you're right on about James Fox. I love the music, too, and Julie Andrews, of course. A thoroughly delightful, if silly film. Would love to see it again, if I could find it anywhere.

Hi Spiderwort, "Millie" is available in its original roadshow version, on BluRay...
Cheers, Rick

Technical masterclass. Like George Roy Hill's 'The World Of Henry Orient' (1964) its reputation seems to be growing, perhaps due to its influence. If silliness be the food of love, please do play on.
