Review of Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967) by Scott S — 19 Sep 2008
A big fluffy madcap musical that I find hard to criticize. Mary Tyler Moore was underutilized, but Carol Channing chews the scenery in a bizarre performance only she could have pulled off. The musical numbers are a little unrelated to the storyline and they do go on a bit long, but there aren't many numbers in the movie, and I believe they're all over before the intermission.
After the intermission, things move very quickly and you almost feel like Blake Edwards took over the directing. It's an intentionally silly, over-the-top sort of movie that pays off better than most of its sort.
