Hello!
Was cruising through old book/video stores yesterday; and found perhaps my all-time favourite film - Victor Victoria. It's almost impossible to find nowadays; if it ever appears on used video shelves it's snapped up immediately, I've been looking for the thing since November.
Lord; what a terrific movie this is. Easily one of the funniest films ever made with an absolutely perfect cast.
Julie Andrews is of course incredible; she can't not be good. The same of course for Robert Preston; who never so much as blinked when told he'd be playing a gay lounge singer, and then camped it outrageously. The world became a much darker place when he died.
Lesley-Anne Warren simply steals the show - not quite as good as Julie but still very good. Also drop-dead gorgeous, funny as hell and a figure hot enough to melt lead.
And of course; this show has Henry Mancini. If a show has Henry Mancini; it's going to be good, period.
If you can find the DVD get it - in addition to the film; it's got an absolutely delightful commentary with Julie Andrews and Blake Edwards; it's worth it just to hear them discuss the film.
Cheers!
