In the words of Sir Laurence Olivier, “It’s called ‘acting,’ my boy.” There’s this myth in our modern culture that in order to PLAY a character convincingly, you have to BE that character. You don’t. It’s called “acting.”
robert preston was gorgeous. i liked that part where he told a patron whose woman friend was scoffing at his act' you should be ashamed bringing your mother in law to the show' or something like that. Hit right at the spot. how witty ....
For some reason I was never a fan of Lesley Ann Warren. This movie turned me around, BIG TIME!!! Her @ train station, in caboose! "Are you ok"? She says, priceless!!! 🤣 I can't get enough of her! Playing the alcoholic Mom on one of my fav tv shows, "In Plain Sight" w/another outstanding actress, Mary McCormack! Have series on DVD! Yes, am one of those! 🤣 Lovin it! ❤ ✌️🤘
I saw this brilliant film on video back in 1983. I was a dancer sharing a flat with some fellow dancers. We all loved it and wonder why it's never been in TV. Well not that I can remember.
First musical i performed in was The Music Man. Wanted to be Robert Preston, really wanted to be the leading man. Was this the only film he did besides?😊
This was a fun film in several ways ("Le Jazz Hot" is a SENSATIONAL musical production number, and "You and Me" is a charming duet, made even more so by James Garner's expressions of pleasure); but Pauline Kael made an absolutely valid criticism of the movie in her review when it was first released. It was, she pointed out, utterly nonsensical for Victoria to say -- at the height of her success as "Victor" -- that she had so many more options and freedoms open to her as a man than she had ever had as a woman. "The role she has assumed", Kael said, "is that of a mincing homosexual man, which in the 1930s would have involved an incomparably MORE constricted social existence than that of a conventional woman's life." It's hard to argue with that.
Gay or not, tho, she's talking about simply society's acceptance of specific sex-based behaviours, making your argument fallecious at best. Being a man in the 1930s would have given any being more freedom than being female. The stereotypes were still wayyyyy ingrained.
Pauline Kael is the same idiot who stated in 1972 - after the Nixon landslide - that she didn't know anyone who voted for him. Talk about clueless! That's like saying in 1984 that she didn't know anyone who voted for Reagan. SMH...
Kael had a problem with gay men in general, as evidenced throughout comments in reviews during her career. There was nothing "mincing" (dated term) about the Victor character when not onstage. Andrews didn't play Victor as Queeny. Men of that era, even if considered perhaps a little "delicate" would still have had more options than women. Period.
Still blows my mind that Robert Preston was NOT gay. His portrayal of Toddy, the middle aged "queen" was superb.
Today, this would not fly…because how dare a straight person portray a gay person!

Pourquoi vouloir absolument que Robert Preston ne soit pas gay? Après tout c'est la vie!
Yes, he wasn't gay but he spent a lot of time on Broadway and was incredibly supportive of gay issues and had many gay friends. That probably helped!
One of my favorite Julie Andrews Movie. The cast was superb

That's the woman "Victor" tripped during this duet...🤣😘
I have watched this movie literally over 500 times over the years! SUPERB!
Ah, those were the days. Great movie, truly underrated. Beautifully cast!
One of the best scenes in the movie

Sublime & stellar and sadly goes over the heads of these modern audiences!
For someone whose name says positivity, not such a positive statement.

If you're in the UK - it does come up occasionally. But you should be able to find it on DVD reasonably easily.

¡Fantástico!
Always a cracking whistler too xx
Who else can't whistle for shit and Julie Andrews can do that🙋🏽😞
I heard Julie in an interview taking about whistling. She said many good singers can whistle well.
@@cpete2976 she did the whistling for the bird too in Mary Poppins
@@jeidamartin5496 👍
Yes, Julie Andrews was a very versatile performer! I think she'd simply teach herself to learn any skill that was needed. And do it well!
magic !
ah, Julie Andrews, showing women they can cross-dress.

What is he got to do with gay or not, not important. A pure genious.

Depends where you were. Until the Nazis invaded during WWII it didn't seem too bad in Paris.
