I first saw this fabulous film in its theatrical release in 1968. I remember being floored by the period detail, the opulent sets and costumes, and the fabulously recreated musical numbers. But nothing prepared me for the astonishing range of Julie Andrews' singing and acting. She has never looked or sounded better. This should have been her "Funny Girl," which was released about the same time, but for whatever reason, it never caught on with audiences. Gertrude Lawrence, whose life is supposedly represented here, merely serves as an excuse for Robert Wise et. al. to mount a love-fest for Julie. This is a timeless tribute to one of the great stars of musical comedy. Will she ever sing again? Is there a movie version of "Sweeney Todd" in the wings? She would be tremendous. Star is stunning!!
