I thought at the time I first watched them, back in the dark ages, that this scene shows the multi-cultural experience of the big city. Millie would not have experienced this at home.
@@Terry-te1ijNo. Christian weddings are all over the cities, and you see one bush wedding you’ve seen ‘em all, whereas every city wedding is different. The country folk miss everything, including education. That old chestnut about a village missing its idiot, it tosh. The villages are we idiots are made. There’s plenty.
Meanwhile this is one of my favorite songs and scenes in the movie. They don't seem to mind having a Shiksa Goddess marry into the family. Make it make sense Jesus!! lol
Or maybe because it’s about modern times and including modern people, other than thoroughly modern Millie. Is Millie the cantor at the wedding, wouldn’t it be extremely non traditional/very modern to have a female cantor at a Jewish wedding? Is she singing in Jewish or Yiddish?
I saw this film in the theater when it first came out. One of my most favorite and enjoyable films of all time. Fun and silly…the Calamity Jane for those times.
I think TMM is what turned me on to musicals after I saw it in seventh grade (and I got the sound track record album for Xmas).. At the time I didn't pay much attention to the details of the story; I was entranced by the 20s come to life. Later, becoming much more jaded I had to wonder, why does Millie (from Kansas) have a British accent, but even odder, what is a wedding (and a Jewish one at that) doing in the middle of the movie, and why on earth was Millie singing for it (we never heard that she was a singing stenographer!)??? But, whatever. I still like the songs and the dances.
For the singing, I think Millie is the friend of the bride, thus she would know about Millie's singing. (Remember when the bride introduced the groom to Millie at the hotel's friendship dance?)
Millie is a super fun movie but this song has no connection to the plot at all. I think it was just added to show off Julie's voice and pad out the film a bit. I remember when this film was released it was a road show production which means that it was treated as a stage show. You had to buy reserved seats and they had souvenir programs.
It showed that it was not unusual for they people at the friendship dance to wind up married. It also reinforced Millie's belief that she would soon be engaged. While also highlighting just how sheltered Dorothy was from the regular world. But I will admit even an original critic of the film called this scene gratuitous. And yet the sheet music for it still is sold.
I love when there are people who actually knows how to dance on weddings
Yes, when did we get so awkward about that?
Julie Andrews is one of the loveliest memories of my childhood. Simply wonderful
Mine as well! As I grieve the recent loss of my husband, I take great solace in her beautiful music!

You could say the same of the guests at this urban wedding. Did they experience a rural, Christian wedding?
@@Terry-te1ij they're not the main charatcers of the movie, dude xD the point is about Millie
New York City!

Julie sings klezmer! Outstanding!
I read that they put this scene in to appeal to the Jewish audience. It had nothing to do with the story line. But her singing is magnificent!

@@magray4b She may have converted, or they may not be completely Orthodox.

I don't believe much I read...especially after the fact..
It’s Yiddish.
Featuring the one & only Mickey Katz and his band (all uncredited) Mickey is Joel Grey's father, and Jennifer Grey's grandfather.
Omg, because of you, I recognized Mickey Katz' head just before Julie catches the bouquet
The way how old lady danced in this scene is incredible))))
That's NOT a real old woman.... LOL 😆😄
@@maxlinder5262 you've broken my heart 😅😅😅
Trying to learn who the great dancer made up as the old lady was.

Superb. What a total star Julie Andrews was/is.
And good for Millie! It’s important to have a large repertoire so you can work any type of gig. 😊
Happy 88th, Julie!
Love and own this excellent movie!! Love this song❤️
That wedding dress is to die for!
And to think Jack Warner didn't think Julie would photograph well!

This movie is better in pieces than watching it whole in my opinion. So many great numbers but the story is a little weak. But Julie?❤❤❤❤❤❤

Stunning!!! Absolutely perfect!!!
Adoro esta cena do filme. Este filme é sensacional. Julie está magnífica. Tenho o filme em DVD.
Oh how beautiful
Fiddler made a goof!

They included this song to appeal to the Jewish audience.
@@LordGertz 3:02
Excellent.
Does anyone have a full translation of this song into English
How did I not know about this movie
I saw this film severaĺ times
Does ring go on the pointer finger?
Yes, that is proper during a Jewish wedding. One reason is to make it easier for the witnesses to observe.
@@charlesg0 Thank you.
@charlesg0 then the ring is later moved to the ring finger
@@charlesg0It’s because the belief is that the vena cava goes from the heart to forefinger.
I love to cry at weddings
Lol.
"But we sing in a minor key to remember that we suffered"

Интересные Еврейские танцы -смесь балканских с арабскими
Lyrics?
🥲 🩷
I remembered her saying "It's in Jewish", not "It's Jewish".
Jiddisch
Can't find a credit for the great dancer made up to look like the old lady.
because she is a young 20 something actress
Hm, must be a Conservative wedding. Don’t think it’s Reform, but definitely not Orthodox. 😆😁
