Editorial Review: Product Description: A would-be flapper in 1920s new york saves her friend from white slavers in a chinatown firecracker factory. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 06/03/2003 Starring: Julie Andrews James Fox Run time: 138 minutes Rating: G Director: George Roy Hill Amazon.com: Julie Andrews is at her peak of adorability in this enjoyable (and surprisingly sarcastic) spoof of the 1920s. It has every trick: occasional silent-movie intertitles, flapper lingo ("Oh, banana oil"), and a laughable plot about women being sold into white slavery by the scheming manageress (splendid Beatrice Lillie) of a Hotel for Ladies, aided by a cabal of wicked Chinese. (The stereotypes are bearable only if you remember this is a spoof of silent movie melodrama.) Even with able support from Mary Tyler Moore and James Fox, this is Julie's show; she plays to the camera with the collusion of director George Roy Hill, who's clearly smitten with her silly streak. The movie has an annoying tendency to spend time on musical numbers--a Jewish wedding, a vaudeville act--that don't serve the plot. A future Broadway musical would create a new score, except for the delightfully catchy title tune. --Robert Horton Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Thoroughly Modern Millie DVDIt's a fun movie. We bought it because our daughter is going to be in the play and so thought it would be good for her to see what the story is really about. She loved it. Rating:  - 'This is a Bad, Disgusting, Disturbing, Racist Movie!'I saw this movie last year (2007), because my school did the play (which is fabulous). I was aware of the racism in the story at that time, but only knew it to be mild and shown in a negative light. I was horrified by what I saw in the movie. The adorable, sweet, funny Ching Ho and Bun Foo, are replaced by creepy, perverted, 'Orientals', who come from a Chinatown, that bares a resemblance to the Biblical image of Babylon. The Chinese are portrayed as rat-like vermin, and the actual images of Big ...

I don't know how it happened: Julie Andrews tries her best to inflate this lead balloon of a movie with her wonderful voice and her native wit, but at the point where Bea Lillie intones that "they all must die" trust me, you'll be rooting for her and her dart gun. Rating: - Wonderful!I haven't enjoyed a movie more in a long time than watching "Thoroughly Modern Millie." Julie Andrews was just wonderful in this film as well as Mary Tyler Moore with the added bonus of Carol Channing playing Muzzy. I was browsing on amazon for any Julie Andrews movies and this gem came up. I had never seen or heard of this film, and after watching it was not dissapointed! Set in the "Roaring 20's", Millie (Julie Andrews) whom is looking for a husband Trevor Graydon (played by John ... Read More Rating: - "So beat the drums 'cause here comes thoroughly modern Millie now!"This is one of the most incredibly light hearted, and beloved musicals from the golden era of movie magic. Starring an unrivaled cast of Carol Channing, Mary Tyler Moore, and Julie Andrews as the title character Millie. The movie begins with an unexpected crime, then moves to the thoroughly traditional Millie walking the streets of 1922's New York, and updating her look to the tune of the toe tapping introductory song "Thoroughly Modern Millie". The movie keeps the pace with catchy iconic songs, ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
