The concert we saw at the Hollywood Bowl reminded me of the movie, Victor Victoria (1982). The first half of the program was about the movies of Blake Edwards and music by Henry Mancini. The music was played by the LA Philharmonic, conducted by John Williams, and narrated by Julie Andrews.
Tonight, we got our DVD of the movie and watched it again. It is fabulous! The performances are great; the music is great; the sets, costumes, lighting, choreography -everything is great!
We decided to watch the “commentary” extra after the movie. It seems to be basically a replay of the movie with voiceover comments by Julie Andrews and Blake Edwards. This adds a fascinating inside look at the movie and its making. We didn’t finish it tonight, but will continue it tomorrow afternoon.
Make a point to watch (or rewatch) this movie.
