Victor/Victoria

Victor/Victoria is an award-winning 1982 musical comedy film written and directed by Blake Edwards and starring Julie Andrews, James Garner, Robert Preston, and Lesley Ann Warren. I have always loved this movie and rewatched it (on Max) in honor of Pride Month. Also, Robert Preston is always a joy to behold, and I'll watch anything just knowing he's in it. And Leslie Ann Warren! Perfect!



Roger Ebert gives it a positive review and closes with this:
Because they all seem to be people first and genders second, they see the humor in their bewildering situation as quickly as anyone, and their cheerful ability to rise to a series of implausible occasions makes “Victor/Victoria” not only a funny movie, but, unexpectedly, a warm and friendly one.

97% of Rotten Tomatoes critics love it.

    I haven't thought about this film for a long long time. I remember seeing it a long long time ago. I think using the word long twice is my thing this morning-smile. Have a great weekend Nita. hugs-Erika
