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.

[@EBBING2003]

Thank God for Julie Andrews.❤

[@vivyrox7202]

yesssss 🥰

[@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"....🤣

[@Veronica.John10-10]

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

[@robstockton2463]

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

[@jaygatz4335]

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

[@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 ❤

[@the.h.is.silent]

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

[@michaelmarffy2616]

Me to😂

[@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.

[@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

[@meierstudio]

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

[@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.

[@martiemutsch7461]

Mary Tyler Moore was a super dancer.

[@dudley5533]

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

[@clivecarser7356]

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

[@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.

[@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 😢

[@jw5959]

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

[@benjsmithproductions]

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

[@mhm8922]

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

[@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.

[@sanjayvarma7842]

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

[@puckpuck88]

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

[@FashionFunPJ]

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

[@auntvesuvi3872]

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

[@spider46531]

I saw this when it first came out.

[@katherinekinmel8557]

Is the lady collecting for refreshments Shirley MacLean?!

[@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.

[@garymcgrath8246]

Yip cinema class cinematography by Russell Metty

[@ElectricSoul828]

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

[@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'.

[@Veronica.John10-10]

What a way to get your cardio in...

[@NataliaMaria1000100]

Where can I watch this movie? I love it.

[@CrashsCreativeChaos]

It's on PLEX

[@pikachuhatyu]

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

[@jackmcdonnell8505]

OH ROB 😭😭

[@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?

[@gsygsy]

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

[@kerrijacobs1433]

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

[@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.

[@leonoraluz]

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

[@jamesniezgoda5454]

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

[@dann-oh3ow]

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

[@ohdto001]

What a silly story. Ugh.

[@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!
