Review of Julie

Julie (1956)
1/10
Absolutely hilarious
3 April 2006
This film rivals "Caprice" as the low point of Doris Day's remarkably uneven career. The above post detailing the unintentionally funny voice-over narration by Day sort of sums it up. Talk about every emotion and action being completely underlined! "Desperately scared, I ran breathlessly through the door..." Not a direct quote, but you get the idea. Worth seeing for the camp value--but for no other reason I can think of.

Doris Day is one of my favorite movie stars of her era, and the perfect Nellie Forbush ("South Pacific") who never was. But in "Julie" she just comes off silly, silly, silly.
