Review of The Americanization of Emily (1964) by Yili S — 02 Nov 2010
A wonderful surprise of a film. I never heard about it before, watched on TCM based solely on the star power. In the film, James Garner is a provider for high-ranking US brass in England during WWII. He plans parties. Julie Andrews is invited as a companion and falls for Garner while watching him work. Garner, who is opposed to war, finds himself on the front lines on D-Day.
Basically, I could listen to James Garner and Julie Andrews talk all day. I love their voices! There is some great, witty banter throughout the film. The character development of Garner's character is amazing. Despite all of the comedy, there is great dramatic moment and themes throughout. Highly recommended, especially if you can appreciate good writing.
