even a bad julie andrews musical be worth watch and this isn not bad . in fact it quite entertain . actually it a fascinate study on try to manipulate a star persona . to break julie goody two shoe mold she play a german spy or english musical hall actress . she subsequently go on to take her top off in the movie s. o. b. and play a drag queen in victor victoria and other not so goody girl usually under hubby blake edward direction . the movie be admittedly problematic it be hard to feel for her character because she a german spy . we want to love julie but she on the wrong side of the law . probably this be why this movie flop . julie a a german spy . our mary poppins . our maria van trapp suddenly a german spy . the romance seem to happen overnight and come from nowhere . but never mind and it a musical and it have jullie . oh and do i mention hunky rock hudson be in it too . julie give a glowing wonderful performance that any musical comedy buff should not miss . great ww 1 song and nice tune by mancini . yes the film have plot hole and at time doesn not seem logical . for example and why be julie and her uncle suddenly pursue by the german when a minute ago she be spy for them . but on another note and who care . the musical number be fun and excite . the costume and scenery extraordinarily lavish . the cinematography quite on the mark . it have the annoy idiot detective that blake edward put in all his movie . ( yawn ) but it have julie try desperately to change her image . ( you can imagine dinner with blake and julie julie represent blake we need to change my image . blake represent i will make you a german spy and then we will take your clothes off in another movie and then play a transvestite in a another movie . they would not recognize you . it will be the death of maria von trappfascinating study on change an image . wonderful julie . a must see for musical comedy buff . much more entertaining than star .
