It was fairly recently I learned that the line was "It's stylish to raise your skirt and bob your hair" and NOT "... raise your skirt above your hair"! Always wondered how Julie could deliver a line like that...

Julie Andrews is a gift to the world

[@theastewart6721]

She sure is! God had A special plan for her life. Beautiful voice and next, author. With her daughter, Emma Walton. What could be better than that for her second act? I am so blessed to have grown up when she was at her peak, although, I’m not sure she’s reached it yet! Love you Julie! Fighting cancer in our family so these words are heartfelt. Please don’t diminish them. Thank you.

You are so right!!!

[@mattbosley3531]

Love that movie. Mary Tyler Moore and Carol Channing were great in it too. "Raspberries!" And her boss kept calling her "John".

My mother and grandmother took my sister and I to see this movie when it premiered at the brand new movie theater at the Roosevelt Field Mall on Long Island. 😊 I loved it! ❤

We did this musical in highly school. I still remember all the songs! Her corset popping always makes me laugh! Mainly because the same thing happened to me with a front hook bra. Was the last time I wore that thing. 😂

Saw this when it first came out in the theatres (1967). Loved it ever since. I have it on video cassette and still watch it once in a while. Also saw the Broadway version which was spectacular. Had my picture taken with Harriet Harris who played Mrs. Meers in the show.

Man....fast service in that hair salon and the clothing store......things were so different back in those days.

[@tonyphilpott9500]

I think Julie Andrews was the funniest I have seen her in this movie. Unfortunately most other movies she was in at this time wanted her to classy and sweet. I love when she decides to be unspeakably fatal. The mugging and the looks she gives the camera are laugh out loud funny. This movie would be a classic if the studio had allowed the director to cut it as he wanted. They wanted a "Roadshow" movie so its to long and drags in places.

How I remember with fondness our TMM parties, where we'd get together, share our favorite takeout foods, and watch this glorious film together. Amazingly, George Roy Hill also directed Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid after this as well as Slaughterhouse Five never mind The Secret World of Henry Orient before it. He's one of cinema's unsung geniuses.

[@ROBYNMARKOW]

The fashions & preferred body type of the late 1960’s were actually v.similar to the 1920’s.

[@eddiemaxwell6949]

I love this opening sequence. It sets the tone for the rest of the film. It's a pity that the other songs in it aren't as good as this. The film, I think, is underrated. It's an enjoyable spoof of silent movies and has an excellent cast. But it belongs to Julie Andrews. She is in almost every scene and carries it wonderfully.

[@azillliasmith2734]

Don't think it's ever been underrated it was always massively admired and it was a big hit at the time you've probably just noticed it recently because you are young or something

[@beth12svist]

​​@@frankieb43 It definitely has. "It's 1922" but they are dressed more like 1925 or even 1926 (that was when what we think of as the 1920s look actually came fully into play; skirts actually weren't _quite_ so short and waists quite so low earlier).

[@jaygatz4335]

One of my favourite movie openings. However, I don't think elevators in the '20's had push buttons - they had elevator operators.

[@fuzzylon]

Yes, I thought that too, but then I wandered over to Wikipedia and found this: Automatic elevators began to appear as early as the 1920s,[citation needed] their development being hastened by striking elevator operators which brought large cities dependent on skyscrapers (and therefore their elevators) such as New York and Chicago to their knees. Self service elevators were not allowed in New York City until 1922. Prior to this, non-luxury buildings that could not afford an attendant were built as five-story walk ups. These electromechanical systems used relay logic circuits of increasing complexity to control the speed, position and door operation of an elevator or bank of elevators. So, in 1922 self service elevators became a thing ! I imagine they weren't cheap so whether it is realistic to have a self-service elevator in that building is another question, of course.

[@jaygatz4335]

@@fuzzylon Thanks for that detailed account - who knew? Of course, the buttons allowed for the comic scene to unfold as it did. I thought it was brilliantly conceived - and Bea Lillie's expression was priceless!

[@fuzzylon]

@@jaygatz4335 Absolutely! It's a recurring theme throughtout the film. It would not have worked if there had been a lift operator.

Like so so so many movie musicals from the 1960s : way TOO LONG , and some scenes padded out with CLUNKER songs (See: Hello Dolly , Sweet Charity) . BUT all have a lot of BRILLIANT songs , fab COSTUMES and sets, and GREAT dancing. I wish I could EDIT THEM ALL.

[@ccbsnyc]

The intro is very entertaining, but the film is too long and a lot of clunkers but with some funny ideas. Carol Channing is definitely a great Broadway star but she was overwhelming in movies. She made a picture directed by Otto Preminger which is truly awful. Julie Andrews is another star who had good movie roles and really bad ones

[@LannieLord]

@@ccbsnyc "STAR!" 1968 was the NAIL in the coffin for movie musicals UNTIL "Grease" happened. The number at the end The Saga of Jenny is incredible however. One of the single best numbers I have ever seen.

@@LannieLord Don't forget Cabaret, one of the great movie musicals.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I discovered this movie during Quarantine. I hate to sound like unpopular. But this one is pretty mediocre for its time. And I say it as a millennial with a little admiration for Julie Andrews. The slavery subplot and the predictable romantic subplots are so dated. The music along with Julie paired up with Mary Tyler Moore and Carol Channing are the movie’s saving graces. Good main title sequence anyway.

[@JudgeJulieLit]

Aptly "dated," as this story is set in 1922.

Great film unfortunately the films representation of the decades fashion was rather ugly and Millies bobbed hair was horrible .....Bobbed hair looks gorgeous but this looks like she's cut it herself with a pair of blunt scissors....She's always kept that awful hairstyle too which doesn't flatter her long face.... she said in an interview once that she did actually cut her own hair... such a shame because she's got good hair and a nice face...... see the great Gatsby with Mia Farrow for more accurate and more beautiful fashions from this time era.......

Hair styles trend. Long hair is back in now, but we tend to associate short hair with older women, who often do what was popular when they were young.

[@johnpickford4222]

@Kingdom_Of_Wet_Dreams: And how old do you look compared with how you should?? Julie Andrews was fine. She was a more serious young lady. She was fine. Far, far, FAR better than Streisand unsuccessfully portraying a middle to older aged woman when she was only 26 or 27. The film should have been called HELLO, GOLD DIGGER!

Goodness, you sweet, innocent child. If you look that good at 32, post a picture here.
