Today’s post is brief because I’m slammed with stuff-that-isn’t-sewing-stuff (argh). It’s the opening credits from one of my favorite films ever, “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” starring Julie Andrews. I won’t explain it; I’ll just let you watch. Enjoy!

March 15, 2012 at 9:06 PMI saw it the first time as a kid, too, and I held on to the image of Carrol Channing in the bi-plane, drinking champagne, and shouting "Raspberries!". I want to live my life like Muzzy!

March 15, 2012 at 5:03 PMClassics! Love Julie Andrews and all the older moview with song and dance.
If only they made more movies this way. Nine was a great reminder of how the old movies jumped from talking into a song and dance production.
Thanks Lauren for taking us back 🙂

March 15, 2012 at 9:07 PMThey transitioned fluidly too, from dialogue to song. How about that "Tapioca" number, eh? 🙂 Gosh, love it so much!

It is amazing how much they look like twins. Here are two links to compair.
