For comments….all you need is a name and a comment….please ignore the rest.
Hi there! Julie Andrews had a lovely voice and I have seen just about all her movies listed above. Your father and I enjoyed Torn Curtain so very much. It is unfortunate she lost her singing voice but she is a good actress too. Thanks for the site.
Hey BERN1960……glad to know somebody liked Torn Curtain…..I agree 100% it is very sad about her voice….thanks for checking out my Andrews page.
Julie Andrews is just a totally awesome human being. She is pure class and whatever she does, she gives it her all. Having said that, from the results of her movies, it is obvious that some were viewed much more successful than others, however, that is not due to her ability or performance. There were many other reasons that some of her movies did not grade out on a top-notch scale. Those that did were fantastic. The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins are at the top, of course. My other personal favorites are Victor/Victoria, The Americanization of Emily, Thoroughly Modern Millie, That’s Life, both Princess Diary Movies, and Torn Curtain. The several made for TV movies she did were also excellent, especially One Special Night with James Garner and the live TV show On Golden Pond with Christopher Plummer. I have purchased as many of her movies as I can get my hands on and have watched them all. Thanks for the efforts you used to put this information on her movies together.
Hey Maggie….first of all thanks for such a nice comment. My rankings try and put all the statistics from a movie into one meaningful line….many people like to sort by critic and audience rating….as that has nothing to do with performance of a movie….when you do that almost all of her movies are considered good movies. I like all the movies you mentioned as favorites…with the exception of Torn Curtain. I really want to like that movie…as I like Julie, Hitch and Newman….but that is not one of my favorites of any of that awesome trifecta. One Special Night is a good movie…and a nice end to the trilogy of movies she made with Garner. Once again thanks for the comment and for the visit to my Julie Andrews page.
Hi
I cant believe Julie Andrews is over 80! She looked incredible at the Oscars and I seen her recently at a chat show. There’s no doubt 2 roles define Andrews, Mary Poppins and Sound of Music. And yet she was much more than that, her stage and TV work, not least her other films. I particularly enjoyed Throughly Modern Millie, Carl Channing was superb in ‘I’m a jazz baby’ song.
I remember seeing Hawaii years ago but I cant really remember the plot. Victor Victoria, I thought, was a really good role. Interesting the parts that she turned down. I’m glad she didn’t do Bedknobs and Broomsticks because Angela Lansbury was superb.
I can’t imagine her in cabaret but Miss Jane Brody would have been a good part. And while I love Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the leading lady role was quite small so they would have had to upped her part.
I’m glad she’s had a revival the last few years with The Princess Diaries and Shrek, for she is truly a very talented lady.
Hey Chris…80 and still going strong! Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music is one of the greatest one two punches of all-time when looking at movies. Hawaii was a huge hit…but I am sure many people, like you, do not remember the storyline. I saw it only a few years ago and I have the same problem. Hackman pops up about every 20 minutes…says one or two lines and goes away again. I imagine if she would have done Chittty Chitty Bang Bang…it would almost be an entire new movie. I agree with you about her being a very talented lady…as always thanks for stopping by.
What great trivia to learn…I love Julie in anything!
Hey Mark. Thanks for checking out my Julie Andrews page…and glad you like the trivia.
They mentioned roles that Julie turned down. While they did mention “Cabaret” and “Camelot,” they forgot to mention “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” and “Oliver!” as well as “Finian’s Rainbow” and “Good-bye, Mr. Chips,” both of which ended up starring Petula Clark. The producers wanted Julie and Dick Van Dyke for “Oliver!” Julie turned down that one too! And Julie and Van Dyke were all set to play in “She Loves Me!” but the studio pulled the plug on the production at the last minute! SO sad!
I think that Julie would’ve been amazing in “Cabaret.” The lead role is SUPPOSED to be a British girl, so Julie would’ve been perfect!
Hey Carole those movies have been added to the page….thanks again.
I can add those to the page….thanks for the information.
