Product Description:
A would-be flapper in 1920s new york saves her friend from white slavers in a chinatown firecracker factory. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 06/03/2003 Starring: Julie Andrews James Fox Run time: 138 minutes Rating: G Director: George Roy Hill
Amazon.com:
Julie Andrews is at her peak of adorability in this enjoyable (and surprisingly sarcastic) spoof of the 1920s. It has every trick: occasional silent-movie intertitles, flapper lingo ("Oh, banana oil"), and a laughable plot about women being sold into white slavery by the scheming manageress (splendid Beatrice Lillie) of a Hotel for Ladies, aided by a cabal of wicked Chinese. (The stereotypes are bearable only if you remember this is a spoof of silent movie melodrama.) Even with able support from Mary Tyler Moore and James Fox, this is Julie's show; she plays to the camera with the collusion of director George Roy Hill, who's clearly smitten with her silly streak. The movie has an annoying tendency to spend time on musical numbers--a Jewish wedding, a vaudeville act--that don't serve the plot. A future Broadway musical would create a new score, except for the delightfully catchy title tune. --Robert Horton

It's a fun movie. We bought it because our daughter is going to be in the play and so thought it would be good for her to see what the story is really about. She loved it.

I saw this movie last year (2007), because my school did the play (which is fabulous). I was aware of the racism in the story at that time, but only knew it to be mild and shown in a negative light. I was horrified by what I saw in the movie. The adorable, sweet, funny Ching Ho and Bun Foo, are replaced by creepy, perverted, 'Orientals', who come from a Chinatown, that bares a resemblance to the Biblical image of Babylon. The Chinese are portrayed as rat-like vermin, and the actual images of Big ... Read More

Imagine ordering the most succulent. lightest. frothiest souffle imaginable, only to be served something made out of marble. I don't know how it happened: Julie Andrews tries her best to inflate this lead balloon of a movie with her wonderful voice and her native wit, but at the point where Bea Lillie intones that "they all must die" trust me, you'll be rooting for her and her dart gun.
