Victor Victoria

This film is extremely good and fun to sing along to as well. It stars Julie Andrews as Victoria, the starving soprano who after meeting Toddy played by Robert Redford, becomes a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman. This interesting scenario comes to it's full genderbending potential when Victoria falls in love with a night club owner from Chicago played by James Garner. This has hilarious consequences when he falls for her too. Set in pre war Paris this film does it's best to explore the stereo types normally associated with gays and transsexuals. As a cabaret star of the thirties Julie Andrews has some fantastic songs to sing including a poignant rendition of 'Crazy World' and a stunning duet with Robert Redford. The ending of this film is one of the best of I have ever seen (no joke). I hope that I haven't given too much of the plot away but the best bits of this film do need a little bit of background information.
