The Epitome of the Jazz Age!
Thoroughly Modern Millie is an excellent reminder of all of the fun of the 1920s in America. It features all sorts of tributes to the era from the style of music, the costumes, homages to silent films, and the overall feeling of fun. The story is silly, but never in a way to alienate its audience. Millie (Julie Andrews) has come to New York to become the stenographer of a rich man and to marry him. She bobs her curls and wears knee length skirts. Soon she meets Miss Dorothy (Mary Tyler Moore) who has come to New York to become an actress. She has no family or friends in the world, which makes her the perfect target of Mrs. Mears (Beatrice Lillie), the owner of the hotel that Millie and Miss Dorothy stay at. Mrs. Mears is involved in a slavery racket in which she kidnaps young girls with no ties to the world. However, Mrs. Mears has no luck in getting Miss Dorothy, and Miss Dorothy has plenty of time to meet friends including Jimmy (James Fox), Muzzy (Carol Channing), and Millie's boss, Trevor Grayden (John Gavin). <

>This film features standards like "Baby Face" and "Do It Again" as well as modern songs written for the show like the title track and "Jimmy." However, every song sounds like it was written during the 20s, so each suits the film well. <

>This movie is very long, but that doesn't seem to matter. The performances are excellent, the music fits in very well, and there is constant action. The film never drags. Film makers often have trouble capturing the spirit of an era when doing projects like this one, but Thoroughly Modern Millie is a surprisingly accurate and fresh tribute.

Throughly Modern Millie
This is not exactly a "family movie" which is perfect for adults that enjoy adult humor, but shun violence, sex, and violence. Surprisingly enough, there are a few explitives in this "G" rated movie. Carol Channing is intoxicating as the pleasure seeking widow. This is a must see for those who miss the glamour of "old time" films. The costumes, dance numbers and song are all in fun along with the story line.
