I saw this when it came out in the movie theaters in 1967 with my mother. We had a wonderful time watching it. Today, this is still one of our family's favorite movies.
I remember being about 5 years old and standing on line with the family on a beautiful summer night at the grand Loew's Kings theater in Brooklyn, being very entertained by this movie, and a lot of uproars of laughter from the audience. Until I saw it years later, the only thing I remember as a small child, was the music, the fireworks mishap, Millie's frequent stares into the camera, and Beatrice Lillie's head bouncing on the lyrics at the end. One of my favorites too, will always remind me of summer !
I'm 37 and this was one of my favorite movies. I forget how old I was when I first saw it but, I remember the feeling of loving to watch this over and over.
I've got you both beat at age 59. I don't think that I would have seen this movie when it first came out in 1967 because I was to young, but we had the record album, and we used to watch it everytime it hit the theaters, and I still watch my copy of it on video tape.
Interesting that Julie Andrews and James Fox are both British playing American but James Fox mastered the American accent while Julie Andrews still sounded British. Everyone was so in love with Julie Andrews that nobody seemed to care.
Dude, the first time I watched this movie I was 9 and I fully believed that James was American. Much later as an adult, like 2 years ago I found out that not only was he British, he was POSH British. The kind of British accent American's use when they joke with their friends or theater directors want a uppity snob. My jaw hit the floor when I heard his real voice.
I finally got to watch the movie. It was great. She was great when she said her lines. I even liked her outfits. Especially Miss Dorothy’s clothes. They were gorgeous.
I loved this movie so much when it came out that I saved up to buy the soundtrack and learned every word to every song. Why don’t they make movies like this anymore?
I saw it in the movie theater, too. James Fox was such a live wire in this movie. It was strange to see him later in films like "The Remains of the Day" after he came back to films. He looked so different. You can't help recognizing the Fox family members, though, performing in so many British PBS shows today.
I bought a copy and got it today on dvd I've seen it years ago and so I can't remember much of it but know the music from it obviously, Julie Andrews is one of our British treasures , she never seems to change even at 88 she looks great , long may she continue 🎉😊😊😊😊😊😊
dont recall seeing this part when it was on tv years ago, i guess they cut a lo t out of it.. Millie was one of those movies you see once and they seemed to be pointless, but this was a good scene
