Blake Edwards

Blake Edwards, Tony Adams

This is the famous film where Julie Andrews loses her good girl image by starring in what really is Wag The Dog about films, rather than politics. She stars in what is initially a flop, but turns into an erotic blockbuster, which makes the film hilarious. Polly Wolly Doodle is used to great effect.

The film seems a little tame by today’s standards. When I first saw it in 1981 in a theater, it was shocking. It still merits an R rating for the nude scene with Andrews. It still will leave you rolling in the aisles. So if you’re up for something completely crazy, this is the film to see.
