Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967)

September 26th, 2026
(Musical Night)


From the presenter, Michael Paxton:

As we continue through the madcap world of the screwball comedy, we'll be screening Thoroughly Modern Millie starring Julie Andrews, Mary Tyler Moore, James Fox, Beatrice Lily, John Gavin and Carol Channing.

Taking place in New York City during the Jazz Age, the story follows wanna-be flapper Millie Dillmount (Andrews) on her quest to become a "modern" and marry her boss at the same time. No ordinary love story (or musical), Thoroughly Modern Millie is a light parody of screwball comedies with some silent-film-shenanigans thrown in for good measure.
