Victor-Victoria - A 1982 Musical directed by Blake Edwards- Starring Julie Andrews and James Garner - Set in Paris
A marvelous very engaging showcase for the talents of Julie Andrews
Struggling to find work, Victoria (Julie Andrews) meets a down-and-out songwriter. Together, they hatch a scheme to create a new act: Victoria will masquerade as a man named "Count Victor Grazinski," who in turn performs as a female impersonator named "Victoria." The act becomes a sensation, but complications arise when both a Chicago gangster and Toddy himself fall in love with Victoria.
Victor/Victoria was a critical and commercial success. It was nominated for seven Academy Awards, winning Best Original Score. Julie Andrews received praise for her performance, earning her a Golden Globe nomination.
I was twelve when I first saw this and I've loved it ever since. Such fun.
