'Wedding Song' Julie Andrews | Thoroughly Modern Millie | TUNE

[@marcmoon1228]

I love when there are people who actually knows how to dance on weddings

[@Sujowi]

Yes, when did we get so awkward about that?

[@manhanti]

Julie Andrews is one of the loveliest memories of my childhood. Simply wonderful

[@theastewart6721]

Mine as well! As I grieve the recent loss of my husband, I take great solace in her beautiful music!

[@girlCary]

I thought at the time I first watched them, back in the dark ages, that this scene shows the multi-cultural experience of the big city. Millie would not have experienced this at home.

[@Terry-te1ij]

You could say the same of the guests at this urban wedding. Did they experience a rural, Christian wedding?

[@Ottolineification]

@@Terry-te1ij they're not the main charatcers of the movie, dude xD the point is about Millie

[@Kate-lk6tw]

New York City!

[@Kate-lk6tw]

@@Terry-te1ijNo. Christian weddings are all over the cities, and you see one bush wedding you’ve seen ‘em all, whereas every city wedding is different. The country folk miss everything, including education. That old chestnut about a village missing its idiot, it tosh. The villages are we idiots are made. There’s plenty.

[@AlbertKain-e8c]

I don't care why they add the scene. It's beautiful, love It.

[@Sujowi]

Julie sings klezmer! Outstanding!

[@keloreilly7017]

I saw this film in the theater when it first came out. One of my most favorite and enjoyable films of all time. Fun and silly…the Calamity Jane for those times.

[@marilynwoolford-chandler1161]

Superb. What a total star Julie Andrews was/is.

[@timlester1867]

I read that they put this scene in to appeal to the Jewish audience. It had nothing to do with the story line. But her singing is magnificent!

[@magray4b]

Meanwhile this is one of my favorite songs and scenes in the movie. They don't seem to mind having a Shiksa Goddess marry into the family. Make it make sense Jesus!! lol

[@rosegonella3098]

@@magray4b She may have converted, or they may not be completely Orthodox.

[@themermaidstale5008]

Or maybe because it’s about modern times and including modern people, other than thoroughly modern Millie. Is Millie the cantor at the wedding, wouldn’t it be extremely non traditional/very modern to have a female cantor at a Jewish wedding? Is she singing in Jewish or Yiddish?

[@kayeweller8854]

I don't believe much I read...especially after the fact..

[@DancingPony1966-kp1zr]

It’s Yiddish.

[@Beth_Alice_Kaplan]

And good for Millie! It’s important to have a large repertoire so you can work any type of gig. 😊

[@cinegraphic]

Featuring the one & only Mickey Katz and his band (all uncredited) Mickey is Joel Grey's father, and Jennifer Grey's grandfather.

[@debrac1688]

Omg, because of you, I recognized Mickey Katz' head just before Julie catches the bouquet

[@АнтонИршутов]

The way how old lady danced in this scene is incredible))))

[@maxlinder5262]

That's NOT a real old woman.... LOL 😆😄

Trying to learn who the great dancer made up as the old lady was.

Happy 88th, Julie!

Love and own this excellent movie!! Love this song❤️

That wedding dress is to die for!

[@alfonsoaguilar8026]

Stunning!!! Absolutely perfect!!!

[@williamarndt9465]

And to think Jack Warner didn't think Julie would photograph well!

[@canderson8533]

Oh how beautiful

[@dmark1922]

I think TMM is what turned me on to musicals after I saw it in seventh grade (and I got the sound track record album for Xmas).. At the time I didn't pay much attention to the details of the story; I was entranced by the 20s come to life. Later, becoming much more jaded I had to wonder, why does Millie (from Kansas) have a British accent, but even odder, what is a wedding (and a Jewish one at that) doing in the middle of the movie, and why on earth was Millie singing for it (we never heard that she was a singing stenographer!)??? But, whatever. I still like the songs and the dances.

[@markbraunstein58]

This movie is better in pieces than watching it whole in my opinion. So many great numbers but the story is a little weak. But Julie?❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Arkelk2010]

For the singing, I think Millie is the friend of the bride, thus she would know about Millie's singing. (Remember when the bride introduced the groom to Millie at the hotel's friendship dance?)

[@migueldeavalos8971]

Amazing Scene, I Was Truly Captivated👏

[@juliamariaf.queiroz2682]

Adoro esta cena do filme. Este filme é sensacional. Julie está magnífica. Tenho o filme em DVD.

[@anncosten3222]

Love this film. Am going to have to dig out the D.V. D now

[@eduardostupnik8261]

Excellent.

[@echocheck]

Millie is a super fun movie but this song has no connection to the plot at all. I think it was just added to show off Julie's voice and pad out the film a bit. I remember when this film was released it was a road show production which means that it was treated as a stage show. You had to buy reserved seats and they had souvenir programs.

[@LordGertz]

It showed that it was not unusual for they people at the friendship dance to wind up married. It also reinforced Millie's belief that she would soon be engaged. While also highlighting just how sheltered Dorothy was from the regular world. But I will admit even an original critic of the film called this scene gratuitous. And yet the sheet music for it still is sold.

[@timlester1867]

They included this song to appeal to the Jewish audience.

[@shellyzadorozny6962]

Does ring go on the pointer finger?

[@charlesg0]

Yes, that is proper during a Jewish wedding. One reason is to make it easier for the witnesses to observe.

[@Arkelk2010]

@@charlesg0 Thank you.

[@debrac1688]

​@charlesg0 then the ring is later moved to the ring finger

[@dryadgirl]

@@charlesg0It’s because the belief is that the vena cava goes from the heart to forefinger.

[@benhamouphilippe]

I love to cry at weddings

Lol. "But we sing in a minor key to remember that we suffered"

[@DancingPony1966-kp1zr]

When do people who aren’t full time professionals get to do all the practice it takes to be able to sing and dance like that at all?

[@Fast_Eddy_Magic]

I remembered her saying "It's in Jewish", not "It's Jewish".

Lyrics?

[@Beth_Alice_Kaplan]

Hm, must be a Conservative wedding. Don’t think it’s Reform, but definitely not Orthodox. 😆😁

[@johnprovince5304]

Can't find a credit for the great dancer made up to look like the old lady.

[@rayakauf]

because she is a young 20 something actress

[@randolphfriend8260]

🥲 🩷

[@william_marshal]

That's not Jewish, it's German!!!

[@wotan10950]

It’s a Jewish wedding, and the song is in Yiddish, which derives from German and other Eastern European languages, but uses the Hebrew alphabet.
