Movie Reviews of Victor/Victoria
Movie Review: Superb film! A real classic.
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I saw this film on TV, and have always wanted to get it. Finally we found it at Amazon. The DVD shows the film brilliantly, and it includes a lengthy and fascinating discussion by Julie Andrews and Blake Edwards. What makes that conversation even more interesting is that it occurred about twenty years after the film, and also after the stage version(which is also excellent). We are grateful to Amazon for making this DVD available.Movie Review: A Wonderful Funny Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're a Julie Andrews lover, this is fabulous. Even if you're not, this movie is very funny, a great way to spend a couple of hours.Movie Review: Victor/Victoria
Summary: 4 Stars
Classic musical comedy, Julie Andrews is not only a great singer but shes easy on the eyes. This is a classic boy meets girl, then thinks hes gay when he starts falling in love for the girl pretending to be a gay guy. A funny movie that was a head of its time. another keeper for your collectionMovie Review: Siskel & Ebert Got It Way Wrong!
Summary: 4 Stars
I remember when "Victor/Victoria" came out, and caught part of the above-mentioned critics' best and worst of show that year...they mentioned this film as one of the worst. Well, what do they know? I only recently saw the film, and had to comment on how wrong those guys were and how great this film is!
Robert Preston (who I only remember from westerns) is fantastic as the fey Carroll Todd, a struggling singer in pre-war Paris. Julie Andrews is also incredible...going from an unrecognizable singer to the androgynous "Victor" was quite a stretch but she pulled it off.
The story is a good one, an elaborate and wacky deception to pass Andrews off as a gay man while playing a woman (and so on and on)--typical Blake Edwards scene-shifting and hysterical action (the cockroach scene with the wide-angle lens was a howl).
The support characters all were great; James Garner seemed a bit stiff, but became more himself as time went on, Alex Karras being the gay bodyguard was unexpectedly funny, and Lesley Ann Warren stole scenes with her dumb blonde routine.
In any case, a fine film, good songs and dance numbers, and to me something quite worthwhile.
Movie Review: I love this DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great find! Amazing extras and I love seeing the movie in widescreen since I'd only ever seen it in pan & scan for tv and cable. A great addition to my DVD collection and as funny as I remembered it.
