About this product

Product Information

Blake Edwards tones down the broadly farcical style that is his signature with this sly musical comedy starring Julie Andrews as British entertainer Victoria Grant. She and an older friend, gay impresario Toddy (Robert Preston), are close to starvation in 1930s Paris. Desperate for work, he changes her image, introducing her to the cabaret world as Polish female impersonator Victor/Victoria. Victoria, now a woman pretending to be a man in drag, becomes a huge success in the nightclub world. Chicago gangster King Marchan (James Garner) becomes especially intrigued by Victor/Victoria while visiting Paris with his dim-witted girlfriend, Norma (Lesley Anne Warren), and his ever-faithful bodyguard, Squash (Alex Karras), who's more than a little concerned by his boss's interest in a transvestite. As Marchan tries to get to the source of his attraction to the entertainer, trying to uncover the truth behind the rhinestone headdress, the farce commences, and the meaning of gender and sexual preference comes into question for all the characters. A director who often shows a willingness to let the seams in his work show for comic effect, Edwards has opted for stylish smoothness here while opening himself to questions of gender that his earlier films had anxiously mocked. Robert Preston steals the film as Victoria's graceful Svengali.

  • Sensational Musical

    Excellent musical comedy with Julie Andrews, James Garner, Robert Preston and Leslie Anne Warren. This kind of film can be enjoyed over and over again! It is definitely a five star film! It has a little bit of everything! I would recommend it to just about anyone!

  • Entertaining from the beginning to the end.

    I'm sure the subject of this story has an element of reality to it but the purpose for this film is non political, no biases toward certain folk, no promotional intent for securing rights for any particular group...its simply a fun movie to lighten the heart.

  • The Jazz Hot.

    Julie Andrews is into Jazz in this movie. It touches controversial subjects, maybe why it wasn't as big as Mary Poppins or The Sound of Music but it is an entertaining movie just for the songs and many funny moments. I love Julie Andrews voice so for me it is a HIT.

  • Victor/Victoria is a smash hit

    A woman pretending to be a man who plays a woman are all the ingredients necessary for a hit show, created by filmmaker Blake Edward’s. Victoria Grant (Julie Andrews) is a struggling soprano trying to find work in the nightclubs of 1930s Paris. She meets cabaret performer Carrol “Toddy” Todd (Robert Preston), who devises this gender bender with a twist. King Marchand (James Garner) plays a mobster who takes an interest in Victoria.

  • It's a marvelously funny film and I'm glad to have it in my library.

    I had forgotten just how good this movie is! The acting was superb, the script engagingly funny, and the settings spot-on for the period. (The Bonus Material is VERY interesting.)

  • Much Fun

    James Garner and Julie Andrews have great chemistry. That chemistry showed in their first movie together in 1964. Robert Preston, Alex Karras & Lesley Anne Warren are brilliant supporting actors. You'll love it.
