    I can't help feeling that when Julie tells him off at the end she's really speaking to all the producers and directors who wouldn't let her do a serious role or cast her at all because she was too "proper" or "too wholesome" to take seriously.

      She could do serious: see "Duet for one" (and her first, "Emily"), though I think she _enjoyed_ the lighter material (SOM, Millie, Poppins, VV) more.

    Actually, no. The 1982 movie isn't the cause of her throat condition nor is this song specifically at fault (this song wasn't even in the Broadway show). It was the 8 shows a week on Broadway over a 2 year run (1995-1997) is what caused her to develop the throat problems and what sent her to have surgery that would ultimately damage her vocal cords.

    • @abigguitar

      @@Christinasvenska The key was likely lowered for the Broadway show to help Julie get through the show each day with as minimal vocal strain as possible. It's fine to hit those belting high notes once or twice for a movie recording, but doing that day after day for weeks on end is rough and takes a toll. Still, the lowering of the key didn't overall reduce her chances of getting throat nodules. It was the frequency of the performances that likely exacerbated the condition.

    As much as I love VV, I truly believe that the best that Robert Preston and Julie Andrews did together was their film before this one - Blake Edwards' "S.O.B." A caricature of the real life of Blake and Julie, this film exploits a brilliant successful film producer/director (Blake - with his "Pink Panther" and "10" films) and his G+ squeaky-clean, children loving "Disney" film wife - Julie Andrews. Together, they make a soft pornographic film where Julie "shows her boobies." Fantastic comedy, and between it and "Victor, Victoria" really broke Julie out of the "Mary Poppins" mold. God, how I miss films like these where true talent could be combined brilliantly with great production and comedy!

    • @atlbrysco6198
      @atlbrysco6198 6 років тому

      Wow! Pretentious much? I mean, come on - "...very American, together with a childish obsession with breast (no big deal to a European!)..." Can your condescending attitude get any worse? First of all, I didn't say S.O.B. was soft-porn - the theme of the moving was making a soft-porn.
      Secondly, I don't count Darling Lili as a "image changer" for Julie Andrews - the character of Lili was the racy, dance-hall singer and most *definitely* not a parody of the life of Julie Andres and Blake Edwards. There is a difference when you play a character of a story, and you play a barely-disguised, self-biopic based version of yourself.
      And just for full disclosure, I lived in Europe for 17 years - I know many, many European men (and women!) across several countries that are just obsessed with breasts as Americans are. Perhaps you are trying to hide something because you obviously are not? Quite fulfilling the stereotype of Euro-trash and try to be a real human being.

    • @atlbrysco6198
      @atlbrysco6198 6 років тому

      Um... Chris, you do realize that having a "condescending attitude" that can get much worse really isn't a positive trait to brag about, don't you?
      As far as "touchy," why should I be? First of all, I gave my honest assessment - whether you agree or not has no impact on my life, beliefs, opinions (or anyone else's) at all. It takes me much more to be rattled. And just not knowing the term, "Euro-trash (which has been around since the early 1980s), that's a shame - it's quite popular outside of Europe to describe nationalists who think they are better than everyone else simply because they were born in one place or another.
      Touchy? No. Feel sorry for you? Yes. While you seem to have an average or higher intelligence level and I do have to compliment you on your grammar and authoring (not withstanding the basic comprehension error you made about my post that started this whole thing), any valid opinion you may have had about any of the three films has been completely invalidated by your overwhelming contempt and underlying bitterness. When you can post as a mature adult and express an opinion in a positive way (say, "I really didn't like S.O.B.", or "I don't enjoy slapstick (which, as a point - S.O.B. did not have much of)," or even, "I disagree - I think Darling Lili was the start of her break from that reputation.") then someone might pay attention to your tantrum.
      You are correct on one point - those 17 years in Europe taught me how to be appreciative of diverse cultures and accept everyone's opinion, regardless of whether they were aligned with mine or not. Even better, I learned that mine isn't necessarily better or worse, right or wrong, but just different.
      I wish you peace - go out (but please, don't multiply) and get some maturity; then I look forward to your opinion.

    Actually, abigguitar, the 2 year run lead to the discovery of non-cancerous throat nodules in 1997, but the two year run was not the cause of it, the non-cancerous throat nodules they think started to grow before 1995 due to overuse from all of her years of singing. The 2 year run just made them bigger. They say this because the type it is believed it was vocal cord nodules is caused by over usage over more than two years. She now dies what is known as Sprechgesang (sing-speak or speak-singing).
