Thoroughly Modern Millie Trailers

Millie Dillmount, a fearless young lady fresh from Salina, Kansas, determined to experience Life, sets out to see the world in the rip-roaring Twenties. With high spirits and wearing one of those new high hemlines, she arrives in New York to test the "modern" ideas she had been reading about back in Kansas: "I've taken the girl out of Kansas. Now I have to take Kansas out of the girl!"

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

I bought this movie for a dollar. My wife and I looked forward to watching it so we put it last Saturday afternoon. About 40 minutes into the movie we looked at each other and agreed to fast forward to see what else happens. Didn't help. The movie made no sense. For the quality of actors and actresses in this movie none of them were any good. Not their fault - the directors fault. The dumbest scenes were the elevators scenes where they had to dance to get the elevator to move. Come on. Really? Mary Tyler Moore's part was a shocker to me because she normally chooses good movies to star in and she blew it with this one. The dance numbers were no good. I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone to watch. Glad I only spent a buck.

Roaring '20s musical is a fun, eager-to-please live-action cartoon with satire and slapstick. Julie Andrews plays a small town lass who has moved to New York City to land a steno job with an unmarried boss for her to conquer; Mary Tyler Moore is her timid new friend at the all-girl boarding house; Beatrice Lillie is their shady housemother; and Carol Channing (in an outrageous performance that must be seen to be believed) is a wealthy, swinging do-gooder. Tongue-in-cheek production from Ross Hunter and director George Roy Hill, inspired by the Broadway show "The Boy Friend", offers Julie Andrews one of her best film roles; whether dancing like a trouper to keep her elevator in motion or addressing the camera à la the silent movie era, Andrews is so loose and charming she even gets laughs crossing the street. There are a few slip-ups: the Jewish wedding sequence sticks out as an artifice, Moore's listlessly girlish performance is all on one note, and the Harold Lloyd-inspired comic ballet (with Julie falling out of a high-rise window) is too broad and silly. Nominated for seven Academy Awards, "Millie" picked up one Oscar for Elmer Bernstein's score (the smashing costume designs by Jean Louis probably should have won also). Overlong, and with a drab Universal backlot appearance, the film is nevertheless "delish!" Engaging, high-spirited fluff. *** from ****

Thoroughly Modern Millie is a cute movie for those who are 35 and older. Maybe, with the content, it can be watched with children who are 12 and older with their parents. It is a prime time movie and not just an afternoon filler. The movie does have several good musical numbers in it. It has some comedy too. The movie has many good actors/actresses in it like: Julie Andrews, Mary Tyler Moore, Pat Morita, Carol Channing, James Fox, and Jack Soo. The movie is definitely entertaining. Like many musicals, the plot is weak. The musical score for the background is entertaining. The movie will provide good entertainment. The editors could have made the movie a little shorter (20 minutes). For such a long movie, I would have expected more, but didn't get it. Julie Andrews is always good so bring your popcorn and soda to this film. Enjoy.
