Featured review
Patchy in places, but a delightful and underrated musical nonetheless
I will admit the plot is a little confusing at times, and the last half hour or so is rather silly, but putting all that aside it is a hugely enjoyable and extraordinarily delightful musical. I cannot praise enough the splendid songs, the superb choreography and the funny script. Julie Andrews is perfect as Millie, then again there may be a sense of bias because I love her. I love the angelic quality in her voice and her dazzling stage presence. She is also aided by terrific supporting turns from the lovely Mary Tyler Moore and the dashing James Fox. The scene stealers for me though were Beatrice Lillie and Carol Channing, both of whom were hilarious. Plus Pat Morita as one of the henchmen was inspired casting. The direction is good, there are some priceless moments, like the dancing in the elevator to make it work. Thoroughly Modern Millie has its flaws, but I do think it is a delightful film, and an underrated one too. A solid 8/10 from me. Bethany Cox
