THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE
A romantic musical spoof set during the Roaring Twenties, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE was a massive box office hit for Universal and went on to be nominated for seven Oscars® in 1968, winning Best Original Score. Julie Andrews stars as Millie, an innocent country girl and would-be flapper who arrives in New York in search of a job and a husband. Along the way, she becomes the secretary to the rich and handsome Trevor Graydon (John Gavin), befriends the sweet Miss Dorothy (Mary Tyler Moore), fights off evil landlady Mrs. Meers (Beatrice Lillie) and hooks up with lively paperclip salesman Jimmy (James Fox). In the end, it takes a rich, nutty jazz baby like Muzzy (Carol Channing, in an Oscar®-nominated role) to unravel all these complications, give a great party and do some matchmaking.
