    To clarify, I believe in olden times hotels commonly provided a service where you could leave your shoes outside your door and have them shined by the next day. The guy probably didn't feel comfortable leaving his shoes out with so many shady characters roaming the corridor, so he kept trying again, but no luck.

    One of my favorite movies! Julie Andrews played such squeaky clean characters in the 60's and made a few naughty ones in the 80's - she has a voice for the ages. I love that her best friend is Carol Burnett.
    ROBERT Preston has passed away now, what a great talent.

    Hello!! Omg I’m a longtime silent watcher of your Ted Lasso reactions and when this video came up IT MADE ME SO HAPPY!! I love how Ted Lasso introduced you to the magnificent being that is Julie Andrews and Victor/Victoria is such a great film to start with!! Usually most people’s introduction with Julie are either Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music, or Princess Diaries (aka the films mentioned in Ted Lasso and some of her most well-known work), that’s also why Julie has always been coined as a wholesome actress.
    Honestly, what I’d give to watch Victor/Victoria again for the first time and seeing that you loved it made my heart happy!!
    Just a few fun facts that hasn’t been mentioned yet in the comments, Blake Edwards, the director of the film, is Julie’s husband in real life and they’re married for 41 years until Blake passed. They made a number of films together and also took Victor/Victoria to broadway.
    I could honestly talk about Julie Andrews the whole day. She’s definitely one of my all-time favorite actresses, her journey is really quite something, she’s been through a lot both on her career and her personal life, and she’s an amazing human overall.
    I ADORE Robert Preston!! Julie and Robert (and Blake as the director) made 2 films together, the other one is S.O.B. (1981), a comedy/satire about the Hollywood movie-making industry… it’s a hoot!! I’d really like to join your patreon but I don’t have the budget for it right now but hopefully soon!! In the meantime, I’ll be here on youtube supporting your content. 💖💖💖

      @Madvisionn P.S. in "S.O.B." the normally clean-cut Julie Andrews shows her boobies. This turned the world upside-down for the clean-cut, wholesome types! S.O.B. is a great satirization of Hollywood. Blake Edwards made a lot of cool movies.

    this is a favorite of mine. back when this was released it was very rare to find the lgbt+ community represented in such a "normal" way. i dont like phrasing it that way but cant think of a better way. it meant a lot and was very refreshing for many of us. i highly recommend watching the broadway version of "victor victoria". julie andrews does star in it. unfortunately robert preston died not long after making this film, and leslie ann warren was unavailable to be in it. but the new cast did a wonderful job. there are some new songs, and it is a true musical. the songs arent just performed as acts in a club, they are integrated into the story. the story changes a bit too. so it would be a different experience than the film. also, it was filmed on stage during live performances, so it is a totally different energy.

    This movie is so awesome on so many levels. I love it when youngsters watch it and realize there is stuff like this out there.
    Blake Edwards made a lot of hilarious movies. He was married to some chick named Julie Andrews. 😊
    Julie Andrews was beyond popular back in the 50s-2000s. She's had a phenomenal career. If you never knew her before, and you love the theater, you should check her out. She was singing in front of the Queen at a young age.
    James Garner was a he-man TV western star in the 50s & 60s. In the 70s he played TV detective Jim Rockford in "The Rockford Files." He was a "man's man" type of guy. The Rockford Files was a huge show in the 70s, as was "Maverick" in the 60's.
    Robert Preston was beyond awesome in this movie.

    Others have rightly recommended *Mary Poppins* (1964), starring Julie Andrews, and *The Music Man* (1962), starring Robert Preston. I think you might also enjoy a lesser-known Julie Andrews musical, *Star!* (1968), and her gay-friendly tv movie, *Our Sons* (1991). Lesley Ann Warren also appeared in other musicals -- most iconically in the title role in the second television production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's *Cinderella* (1965). Julie had played the same role in the original production in 1957. Lesley Ann later had leading roles in two live-action Disney musicals, *The Happiest Millionaire* (1967) and *The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band* (1968).

    Okay now that I watched:
    Victor Victoria came out in 1982 and was an adaptation of a German film of the same name that came out in 1933 (before things got ugly and repressed in Germany).
    A dozen years later in 1995 the movie was adapted into a broadway show bringing Andrews back as Victor/ia and adding songs some of which (as you mentioned) are more character driven and not just stage performances.
    While most of the concepts have remarkably remained pretty progressive (even as this story is now 90 years old) - the love story at the center with James Garner is my least favorite part. I think it could have been handled so much better then it was.
    Like you said - I think his lines about not caring if Victor/ia was a man or a woman would be much much more substantial if he hadn’t BROKEN INTO HER ROOM AND VIOLATED HER PRIVACY in order to protect his homophobic ego. He made no actual moves until he saw her naked.
    But I digress - I can’t stand Garner in anything he is in.
    If you loved Robert Preston he is the music man in “the music man” movie which is worth it just to watch him.
    I friggin love that THIS is how you stepped into Julie Andrews - she did this movie partially to tarnish her goody two shoes reputation from “Mary Poppins” and “the sound of music” both also worh watching but I love that you are doing it backwards.
    ALL THIS SAID - I am going to join your patreon as soon as I am employed again. Times are ugly right now but you are the first CZcamsr I have ever wanted to make that step for. Sadly I’m not into a lot of the shows you watch but the Six Feet Under and musical connection is enough for me.
    If you love Sondheim - might I make one suggestion?
    Fallsettos. It is a long conversation and I would love to have it but let me just say it’s a combination of 3 shows written by William Finn starting in the late 70s about a gay family.
    It’s been my favorite thing since I discovered it over 30 years ago and it was recently brilliantly revamped on stage and is AVAILABLE to stream. I love the OG cast which includes Chip Zien (OG baker from into the woods) but the new cast is also brilliant.
    Anyway - I will stop.
    I could send you a lot more but I will wait until I am a member.

    Norma(Leslie Ann Warren) also played Miss Scarlet in the film CLUE. Oscar winner Julie Andrews also performed this on Broadway and watch her in The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins her two biggest films. James Garner did the tv show The Rockford Files and films and ironically according to some reports was secretly gay. I believe Robert Preston was Oscar nominated for this film. The late Blake Edwards the director was Julie Andrews husband. To shed her more demure image, her husband directed her in the adult comedy S.O.B. where she had a topless scene!

    No. Regarding the guy with the shoes. Very fancy hotels used to offer a service. If you left your leather shoes outside your hotel door, they would pick them up and shine them for you. The man keeps trying to leave his shoes outside his door. But every time he opens the door, he sees someone doing something suspicious in the hallway. He doesn't want to get involved in whatever is happening in the hallway, so he retreats back into his room. He opens the door and tries to leave his shoes again. And again, someone else is doing something suspicious in the hallway. It's just silly. He can't seem to leave his shoes without witnessing someone doing something they shouldn't be doing.

    Hi! In the 21 min some, the getting the (i don't know how is called) hat of and showing their hair doesn't give away is a man. There was a law that a men could perform as a woman but, at the end of the show, it had to take off their wigs or hairdos to prove to the public they were men as to not "lie to them".
    Very awful really, as Victoria has short hair and its her own she can't take of the wig but, as per law, she take of the hat. That marks that they are a "man in disguise".

    The scene at the end, I always figured, is more the difference between high and low drag. Toddy's from the gutter, yano? He does burlesque drag. Victoria was doing High Drag. Female Impersonation(TM) in a way in modern times I mostly see the other way around in Japanese musicals with male roles played by actresses. Have you seen the clip of Dracula musical with the girl playing not-genderbent Dracula? Or any of the Sailor Moon musicals with a female playing Tuxedo Mask? That's Male Impersonation(TM) not drag.
    So yeah, Toddy is having more fun with it, but not because he's a "real man" and thus funny pretending to be a woman. He just doesn't have a classy bone in his body and is absolutely ruining this classical piece of theatre with his panto proclivities, yano? Not the difference between male and female, the difference between camp and melodrama.
    Since the whole story started when Toddy met Victoria when she was bringing her classy high arte skills to a strip club, it's full circle for it to end with Toddy bringing his strip club skills to The Theatre(TM). Only pity is Norma's not there playing the mattadore too, she's the het version of the kind of performer Toddy is which is why the Chicago song is like it is.

    "The Inspector has exposed the impostor! You will all be arrested for perpetrating a public fraud!" (You even said something agreeing with that idea.) NO!!!! It's a drag show! The entire art form is about subverting gender expectations about what is masculine, what is feminine. It is a performance. What is the difference between putting on a wig and portraying yourself as a woman, or taking off a wig and portraying yourself as a man? You get no guarantees about the performer's binary identity at a drag show. You get gender-bending entertainment. Who gets to say when it is performance and when it is real life? The idea of fraud suggests that people in the audience have a right to know the "truth" and are being misled. The entire performance is a MASK hiding reality! The audience has zero expectation of getting factual reality about anything. NO FRAUD. It's entirely illusion. Like a magic show, or a circus. Does a magician get accused of fraud because he didn't actually cut the lady in half? (Of course not.) Drag is not about reality, and no one in the audience should expect they are being shown reality.
