About the Event
There’s an anti-war film for every conflict America is engaged in, but none more significant than the anti-war movies created during the Vietnam era. Both controversial and highly celebrated when it opened in 1964, this sharp, pacifist romantic comedy is loosely based on William Bradford Huie’s novel, with a script written by Paddy Chayefsky and directed by Arthur Hiller. Philip Lathrop’s beautifully composed black-and-white photography places the audience back in the 1944 London, during the build-up to D-Day, where Charlie Madison (James Garner), an American naval officer with a taste for the good life, sees his priorities challenged when he falls in love with a driver from the motor pool, Emily Barham (Julie Andrews).
According to Bosley Crowther, of the New York Times, "The Americanization of Emily comes out a spinning comedy that says more for basic pacifism than a fistful of intellectual tracts. It also is highly entertaining, and it makes a good case for pure romance”.
As a military historian this is both my favorite James Garner film and my favorite Julie Andrews film. Highest honors.
Mine too. Larry King also felt the same way about the movie.
Paddy Cheyefsky was a genius. A double feature of this film and "Network" would be fantastic.
I love this movie with Julie & James Garner. This was her 3rd movie , Julie was a pro then so much more now. Inspiring!
The second, between Mary Poppins & the Sound of Music.
Enjoyed this immensely. I could listen to Julie for days! Thanks so much.
Julie mentions Steve Franken. He did a tremendous amount of TV, as well as films. Definitely a gifted character actor.
As much as I love to hear Dame Julie sing, this is my favorite role of hers. Just imagine, Poppins, Emily,and SOM bang, bang, bang. Heck of a trifecta!
This interview was after her first memoir HOME came out & prior to her second one Home Work
It was in 2018. So slightly before they finished the 2nd memoir.
Joyce Grenfell as her dotty mother deserved an Oscar nomination. Awesome flick in bw.
Posh relative of Nancy Astor.
This audio sound is totally horrible. The camera distance is inexcusably lame, they look like small ants!!!
Why don't you simply choose to play the film, with better audio??? !!!
Are you asking me?
Because I don’t want to upload something that’s easily available for a few dollars or still being played on tv. This interview though is something not easily available and interesting to a lot of people.
Please turn up the volume.
Love Julie, always have. The camera man though seems inexperienced. Clear but too far
Emma's such a great moderator.

Wish there was a close up. Too far away.
True, that. Couldn’t find any pictures of the even either.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
TAOE is both Julie Andrews and James Garner's favorite film.
Wow, if only they had repeated the questions...
19:39 Jolly hockey sticks: a woman or girl of a high social class who is enthusiastic in a way that annoys most people.
Nancy Astor was one of Joyce Grenfell's maternal aunts; Grenfell often visited her at the Astors’ home of Cliveden and lived in a cottage on the estate.
