Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

eddy-love 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.

douglas64 This is 2 hours 32 minutes of pain until the 15 mins at end where it is suspenseful. Story writing had set ups with no payoffs. The audience is repeatedly disappointed, making scenes pointless. For example, The air scenes added nothing, missing the payoff you expect. Spoiler alert but not really: In air scene, by happenstance Millie's necklace turns off the engines. Now you expect a harrowing near crash. But nothing. A smooth landing follows. Pointless scene. The acting was poor except Julie Andrews who carried the movie. MTM was obviously coached to act in an uninspired way unlike what we know what she could do. Only two flashes of the Mary we know. Otherwise, She spoke in obviously flat and superficial manner for some inexplicable reason. We know it was not MTM choice because all the actors other than Andrews and Channing act in a similarly flat and superficial manner. If you like musicals like we do, they are some fun numbers. You could fast forward to watch those scenes. MTM showed she can dance very well.

blanche-2 I don't know if they still have them, but they still did in the late '60s in New York City -- hotels for women. In 1967's "Thoroughly Modern Millie," Millie Dillmount and Dorothy Brown are both residents of the Priscilla Hotel for Single Young Ladies in New York City. It is 1922.Run by Mrs. Meers (Beatrice Lillie, in her last film), the hotel seems a respectable place for wide-eyed, aspiring actress Dorothy (Mary Tyler Moore) and Millie (Julie Andrews), looking to marry the rich boss of wherever she happens to land as a stenographer.Turns out Mrs. Meers scopes out the residents as possibilities for white slavery. They have to be orphans -- wouldn't do to have a family trying to find her. While these sinister goings-on happen at the hotel, Millie is falling for a paper clip salesman named Jimmy (James Fox), but she hopes to marry Mr. Graydon (John Gavin).Through Jimmy, Milly meets the fabulously wealthy Muzzy von Hossmere (Carol Channing) (his father was once her gardener), who believes that real, true love will lead to happiness as it did with her - she was a girl once like Millie herself.One day, Dorothy leaves the hotel suddenly, and no one knows where she is. Millie, realizing that other girls have also left quite suddenly, enlists the help of Mr. Graydon and Jimmy to find Dorothy.Overly long, but funny, tuneful, and upbeat, "Thoroughly Modern Millie" is a buoyant production, with some wonderful scenes and a great cast. One of the best bits was that in the elevator, one had to dance to get it to move. Beatrice Lillie is a riot as the sinister Mrs. Meers, and the vivacious Carol Channing does two fabulous numbers, "Do It Again" and "Jazz Baby." Some of the score, including the title number, is by Jimmy van Heuson and Sammy Cahn, but it's really a pastiche of numbers: Rose of Washington Square, I Can't Believe that You're in Love with Me, Baby Face, and Poor Butterfly, from a variety of composers.Julie Andrews sings and acts beautifully, and Mary Tyler Moore is pretty and naive and wear the '20s fashions very well. Add the usual glossiness Ross Hunter gave his productions, and you've got a very successful film. Thoroughly Modern Millie became a successful Broadway musical as well.

stevewrench-816-856983 All the money and all the talent just circles the drain in this mess. Pretty costumes,great actors,zippy airplanes,tall buildings,nice lot shooting,and it all comes down to the fact that you are BEGGING for this to be over about an hour into it. I think we all watch it just to be respectful to Julie and Mary and Carol. This movie just flat sucks. There is NO life to it. \ Julie Andrews is NOT sexy,in any way. Shes too old for the part. MTM is very sexy,but kept under wraps for this one. She is too old,too. I know its a bit of a tongue in cheek piece,but it is a waste,all around. The music is enjoyable and in 1967,nothing on earth was less desired than a twenties themed score. Blame it on the Summer of Love. 1967 was a WILD year. This film is so utterly tame,in every single way that it just fizzed and died when it came out. I laughed my behind off when I read the reviews on Wiki. This thing was inflated and held up. In short,a very pretty,harmless sleeping pill.
