this often maligned movie be a must for fan of blake edward and julie andrew and henry mancini and or hollywood musical . other writer have comment on the shift in tone and the confusion of plot and etc . and but the film have many thing to recommend it . the score be one of henry mancini best ( and he have write many wonderful one ) and several song be sing to perfection by andrew and julie performance be nuanced and she be deck out in some beautiful clothes and ( she be at her absolutely lovely here ) and the on location shot be breath taking and and there be some funny inspector clouseau type sight gag to boot . rock hudson basically phone in his performance and but he be passably good . a real curiosity item in that it be the last major film julie do for about 10 year and and in many way and be a precursor to victor or victoria . it be lovely to look at and listen to . when will it be available on dvd . when it be and i for one would like both version the long and short and director cut . since it be lampoon in s. o. b. and they would make a great two pack .
