Dies und das:

Mary Tyler Moore said that she always thinks of the tap dancing scene in this film whenever she sees an elevator.

Pannen:

Abfolgefehler: In an early scene, Mrs. Meers wheels her laundry cart into the elevator, punches the elevator button, pours poison on a rag, and then, after poisoning Ethel Pease, returns with her cart to the elevator. Sometimes she is wearing gloves. Other times, she is bare-handed.

Dialogzitate:

Miss Dorothy: Operator, you have obviously never been trapped in a Chinese opium den!

fun in spite of itself

I like this movie because it makes fun of itself. It knows it's silly, irreverant, and totally over the top. That's the point of the movie, and it works. It's completely void of substance-my friend claims to loose brain cells every time she sees it, yet she wants to watch it all the time. It's just plain fun and Julie Andrews (my personal fav) is at her most adorable. Even though in real life she was 31 and the mother of a 4-year-old, she's totally convincing as Millie. It does drag sometimes, but it's still a darling musical that's just full of fun-exactly how it's intended to be.
