Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967)
Thoroughly Disappointing
This was the first Julie Andrews movie I have ever been disappointed in. I couldn't even make it through the entire movie. The first several minutes alone creeped me out. If I'm watching a movie where a big part of the plot is white slavery, I do not expect to see so much happy tap dancing. Every time you looked, someone was dancing while girls were being carted off. Then characters would have a thought and it would pop up on the screen like it was some sort of silent movie. Any other parts were just plain silly and I could never get into the story. I highly recommend any other Julie Andrews movie. They are much better, not to mention happier, and more memorable all around.
The Children's Hour (1961)
Good, but very sad
The Children's Hour was good because it shows how homosexuality was unaccepted by society in those times. It was so unaccepted that the end result was tragic for one of the characters. I think it's a good movie for people to become more accepting of other lifestyles. It's not my favorite Audrey Hepburn movie, but it definitely makes you think about judging other people. It is a drama, unlike some of other Audrey's movies. If you are looking for a movie with such a plot, The Children's Hour is the way to go. If happy comedies are your thing, avoid this movie. I give it a seven out of ten. Also, if anyone can tell me why it's called The Children's Hour, please respond to my message on The Children's Hour board.
