 Rating 5   Written on January 16, 2007
   Summary: Julie Andrews has an exceptional vocal range
This movie is pretty much a remake of Viktor und Viktoria (1933) which is still available on DVD from amazon.de. However there is a character (Blake Edwards as Charles Bovin, Private Investigator hired by Labisse) that distracts from the movie by using too many slapstick scenes that do not fit the story.

Victoria Grant (Julie Andrews) a starving out of work legitimate female singer. She meets also out of work singer Carroll Todd (Robert Preston). Due to an extraordinary event a plan hatches in Toddy's mind he suggests that Victoria pose as a man pretending to be a woman in order to get work. Victor Grezhinsk (Julie Andrews) the Polish aristocrat female impersonator meats promoter (James Garner) who is at odds as to his/her gender. After a sneak peek he knows the difference but what about his big time gangster buddies?

Many top actors and singers. You find singing ranges that very few people can match in Julie Andrews. Leslie Ann Warren is like a shiny toy. There are way too many great actors to mention in this review.

You will like the story. You will like the singing "Crazy World" outshines the movie. You will want to watch this over and again.

   Summary: Victor/Victoria
This is a great comedy musical. Do not be fooled by "musical". Garner, Andrews, Warren and the rest of the cast are great. From start to finish it is very enjoyable. You will laugh and feel good after this movie.

 Rating 3   Written on January 14, 2007
   Summary: Couldn't have been better!
Really. This movie could not have been made any better.

First, the down side: Julie Andrews is not at all convincing as a man, much less a gay man, has no business singing jazz, and delivers every line as if she's thinking about the camera angle. (Although I'm not sure any woman would have been utterly believable as a man, there has got to be someone who would have been better than she was.)

But the ridiculous story was quite amusing, Robert Preston was absolutely convincing in his role (as was Alex Karas) the scenes of old Paris lovely, the music enchanting, and Lesley Ann Warren wonderful.

And since it was Andrews's husband who made the movie, it couldn't have been better. It couldn't have been better because it wouldn't have been made without Julie. And I'm glad it was made, because it was very very funny. (I'm also jealous! What a wonderful thing it must be to have a husband who casts and lights you so well!)

   Summary: Pure musical amusemennt
In this movie, Blake Edwards, directs his wife , in a farce , that seems to be completely absurd, it would be underestimating Mr. Edward's talent.The recuring jokes, Mr.Blakes, signature , and effect used in his serie, Pink Panther, are used once again, with a master' s touch.Extremely effective, the storyline, becomes funnier , as we get farther in the plot.With a very strong cast, led by Julie Andrews, in excellent form vocaly as well ,is a pleasure to watch . Robert Preston gives one of the funniest performance of is life, as a dead pan sarchastic second banana.
James Garner, and Lesley Ann Warren , superb as a dumb bimbo , doubled as the girlfriend of a mobster, is histericly funny.
A sure good time all around, make this comedy , a perfect entertainment for gloomy days .

   Summary: An excellent "all-time" movie
This has been one of my favorite movies of all time. Specially because is a timeless movie and still remains fresh when somebody else watches it for the first time. Has an awesome cast with excellent performances, and the DVD quality is superb. Thanks Amazon, for your great service.
