Victor/Victoria 1982 * * *

She'd make it to the top... one way or another!

I think Julie Andrews is one of our typically 'English' actresses and I admire her greatly. I loved her in the other musical set in the early part of this century ( Thoroughly Modern Millie) and I thought she was pretty good in this too. Set in Paris in the 1930s the story follows Victoria, a lady who cannot get work because of her operatic style voice until she accidently meets a man who is also not getting work on the stage. The 2 form a close relationship and realise that the only way Victoria can make it big is to become a female impersonator, but that is only possible if you are a man isn't it...?
