Review of Victor/Victoria (1982) by Sheryl Z — 16 May 2007
Julie Andrews is absolutely fantastic to watch. She lights up the screen in one of her best performances as a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman. Robert Preston also does an incredible job, proving that he is one of the greatest actors who didn't get enough credit for his work.
The musical numbers in this film exceed most movie musicals, smartly making it less of a musical and more of a film, being made when it was, a musical would not have been a good idea. Blake Edwards does a great job of handling this piece with great care, giving us one of the first pro-gay films to be made, this really is ahead of its time.
