The Tapioca | Thoroughly Modern Millie | TUNE

[@suebob16]

What a delight to see Julie Andrews dancing with Mary Tyler Moore! I would liked to have seen Moore in more musical films.

[@themermaidstale5008]

Simply put, more Moore.

[@jessicasager72]

And out dancing her at that.

[@EBBING2003]

Thank God for Julie Andrews.❤

[@vivyrox7202]

yesssss 🥰

[@jaygatz4335]

What a hoot to see James Fox in a role like this. He must have enjoyed not being so serious.

[@bushwickbaby]

Okay, so when I first moved into my Brooklyn loft, the joke was that our freight elevator only worked if we did the "Thoroughly Modern Millie"....🤣

[@PinkHeart89]

I wish they would make more movies like this again. I love the older classic movies. I’m almost 35 and I love the classics more than the newer stuff. The newer generation don’t really know about the classics. It’s sad.

[@countessdelancret2447]

I agree whole heartedly ❤

[@zyxw2000]

I agree, but the only musical lately was "La-La-Land," and it was flat. I don't remember a single minute of it.

[@gingivitis9148]

Hollywood does do musicals but they don't market them as musicals. Wasn't the Timothy Chardonnay's Willy Wonka a musical?

[@Selene13zz]

This was me & my mom's favorite musical growing up. I was enthralled by the humor, the dancing and the fashion. I still am.

[@Armybrat173]

I just got done watching this on DVD and decided to see if it was on YT yet, and found this. To this day, if I and a friend are the only ones in the elevator, we always either tap dance or do the Charleston

[@robstockton2463]

“In the Ritz elevator, all you do is go up and down.” LOL

[@dawnkindnesscountsmost5991]

I love this film, and especially Julie Andrews, who is an International Treasure. 💖💖💖 I first saw this in my early 20s, in the late '80s, on AMC, back when it was a bit more like TCM.

[@the.h.is.silent]

Best movie ever. I used to pretend I was doing this dance when I was little

[@Raistlinson]

Me to😂

[@dudley5533]

Very upbeat film with great cast and musical production numbers.....and of course, that magic voice of Julie!!!!!!

[@jw5959]

I LOVE this movie! And carol channing, one of my faves

[@Veronica.John10-10]

"I'm gonna marry my boss, whomever he is!" "oh, you're a MODERN!" 😂 @1:08

[@benjsmithproductions]

How has this not been referenced in a Seth McFarlane cartoon yet.

[@one2manyious]

Glad these are posted! It was a nightmare finding these videos for the last ten years to show friends who have never seen it.

[@mhm8922]

One of my favorite movies! I still remember the first time I saw it.

[@FashionFunPJ]

Having been in this show in my youth…it brings back memories of when I still had good knees…Lololol

[@paulneale4659]

One of my favourite films with a perfect cast ! We need more feel good films like this 😊

[@pnoyremix]

the tapioca is my most favorite scene in this movie.

[@jeff__w]

I like how, for a full 30 seconds 1:27-2:07, the pretense of them being in an ascending elevator is dropped entirely and it’s just “soundstage mode.” Still, there's something quite charming about how Mary Tyler Moore _keeps dancing,_ even after leaving the elevator 2:30-it’s like she's wrapped up in the moment, just wanting to see her new environment (and leaves Julie Andrews to carry _all_ of the luggage) and, for some reason, I remember that little twirl she does around the circular rug 2:45 saying “Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies,” a phrase that mystified me completely as a third grader, from when I first saw the film when it opened in 1967.

[@zyxw2000]

Never saw Julie dancing elsewhere. It's charming. And the two of them together.

[@martiemutsch7461]

Mary Tyler Moore was a super dancer.

[@puckpuck88]

WOW never noticed the LV luggage!...nice!

[@clivecarser7356]

Some showgirls used to practise their routines. Say it every time get into a lift !!!

[@christopherdavidson7757]

As an adult that LV luggage is everything! As a child I didn't know.

[@tawarut00789]

Loved this movie ❤ Also, “I can’t believe that you’re in love with me” in this movie is my favourite! Sadly, I can’t find this version in youtube 😢

[@meierstudio]

They are dancing to a tune called "STUMBlING." "TAP"..." comes along a little later at the friendship dance. Yes, a fine movie.

[@hebneh]

"The Tapioca" is included in this clip...at least the beginning of "The Tapioca".

[@terencedove5047]

Andrews danced primarily on Broadway and in films, Moore primarily on television. Although Universal’s THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE reputedly was terrible with both box office and critics in 1967, one has to admit that certain elements of this film were indeed unforgettable, such as bringing four top notch actresses together in one film (Beatrice Lillie, Carol Channing, Julie and Mary); and having Julie and Mary dance together…

[@rpbradbury]

This did well at the box office and reviews were pretty good too.

[@scottgreenberg551]

The film was one of the biggest grossing movies of 1967. It also won the Academy Award for Best Original Score. The reviews for the film were mostly positive.

[@JN-cr2qy]

Thoroughly Modern Millie was #1 at the box office for two weeks (6/14/67, 6/21/67) and is in the top ten list of highest grossing films of that year. It became the most successful film Universal Studios had ever released to date in 1967. Reviews were mostly positive with critic Roger Ebert giving it a perfect 4 stars in his initial review. It won The Writers Guild of America award for Best Written American Musical of 1967 . It had 7 Oscar nominations (1 win) and 5 Golden Globe nominations (1 win).

[@auntvesuvi3872]

I love this movie sooooooo much! 👯‍♀ The stage musical is pretty good, too.

[@spider46531]

I saw this when it first came out.

[@chrish7975]

Love spotting the famous cameos in this movie.

[@mre7550]

Never noticed how lovely Mary Tyler Moore was before

[@mikegillettify]

The Tapioca is the best scene!

[@garyfrancis6193]

Historically accurate.

[@anncosten3222]

Love this film!

[@sanjayvarma7842]

1:59 My favorite is their expressions right here. So charming!

[@Veronica.John10-10]

What a way to get your cardio in...

[@iowndvc]

Did you notice that Julie Andrews' dress mysteriously buttoned itself up between 4:22 and 4:31

[@themermaidstale5008]

It was the way she turned around - does it every time.

[@ElectricSoul828]

I liked this. I think I will check out some older movies

[@garymcgrath8246]

Yip cinema class cinematography by Russell Metty

[@michaelroberto6890]

It seems odd that Jimmy is actually English and showed up on Downton Abbey years later as an elderly Lord after a rich wife.

[@judithcressey1682]

James Fox was a huge star in the 60's . He starred in some wonderful films that became classics; 'The Servant' 'Performance', 'King Rat' , 'Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines'.

[@gsygsy]

This isn't The Tapioca. That happens later in the movie. This tune is STUMBLIN'

[@hebneh]

Yes, this clip DOES include the start of the "Tapioca" number, but it's edited so the mass dancing is not shown.

[@FranciscoAntonio-rd1eu]

Dios...quién no se va a enamorar de algo así? - God...who wouldn't fall in love with something like that? ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@uptonogood1893]

I loved this film. When I was young though I didn't understand why the rich people never paid for anything. When I grew up I see this is very common in real life. 😆

[@pikachuhatyu]

this is the 1967 equivalent of making a trending dance in tiktok 😇

[@KarinaCastillo-ue3yq]

Vi la pelicula❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤, me encanto, subanla algun dia

[@werothegreat]

At that point I would just take the stairs lol

[@jackmcdonnell8505]

OH ROB 😭😭

[@katherinekinmel8557]

Is the lady collecting for refreshments Shirley MacLean?!

[@zyxw2000]

No.

[@hebneh]

Shirly McLain was a major star when this film was released and wasn't doing uncredited bit parts in any movie.

[@zyxw2000]

@@hebneh You mean Shirley MacLaine or someone else?

[@NataliaMaria1000100]

Where can I watch this movie? I love it.

[@CrashsCreativeChaos]

It's on PLEX

[@kerrijacobs1433]

Next time I am in an elevator. I am doing this.

[@gusmonster59]

They did not dance The Tapioca in the elevator. Jimmy made up the Tapioca at the hotel dance. Did you actually WATCH the movie?

[@mumble.jumbles]

Right. And it cuts off just as the Tapioca's heating up.

[@newperve]

They do so much work getting that thing to go it would be easier to just walk.

[@shanstergoodheart5177]

Did she say 40 words a minute? Isn't that quite slow?

[@The13American]

For computers in the present day, probably. For typewriters in 1922 it would have been fast.

[@robertd.carver6240]

This clip is NOT "The Tapioca." That is an entirely DIFFERENT dance, performed by the ENSEMBLE!

[@themermaidstale5008]

You didn’t watch the entire clip, they’re doing the Tapioca.

[@hebneh]

This clip IS the "Tapioca"; do you not hear James Fox's dialogue as he's making up the dance? This has been edited so the bulk of the number isn't shown, in which all the rest of the people in the room are dancing.

[@leonoraluz]

Que delícia esse filme, o sapateado dessas atrizes lindas e talentosas.

[@dc8659]

girls girls fr

[@jamesniezgoda5454]

Ask me no questions & I'll tell you no lies

[@waldaksimetic3905]

Лифт супер и тренажерка не нужна

[@dann-oh3ow]

this is not the Tapioca. it's stumbling with japanese sandman!

[@hebneh]

Do you not hear James Fox as he "invents" this new dance which is called The Tapioca in this scene? Most of the dance has been cut, however, so we don't see the entire group performing it. "Stumbling" is playing at the start of the scene when everyone's fairly dispirited and bored.

[@donnazukowski]

This movie sucked. The only saving person was Mary Tyler Moore. Got to show her beauty and great dancing skills as she was a trained dancer, RIP. I love Julie Andrews but she was miscast. She did way better in Victor/Victoria.

[@falvo244]

Look up the original Broadway version of "The Boyfriend", which starred Julie Andrews. It's a musical, set in 1926. This movie capitalized off of that success. In the LP for the soundtrack of "Thoroughly Modern Millie", the liner notes say that they didn't want to make fun of the 1920's, they wanted the fun to come from the 1920's. I think that they definitely succeeded!!

[@terrig7006]

I love Victor Victoria! What a wonderful movie!

[@SailorGreenTea]

3:13, 😆
