I was very shocked that my childhood icon Julie Andrews became a Drag King and like Christ, she was sexy! Although I was disappointed by the songs that were involved in this, they were pretty much songs to forget about and move on. As well as the songs being a disappointment, the storyline was a little out of place and underdeveloped. I didn't understand much of what purpose each character has to do. I know Julie Andrews' character was poor and became a drag king, but then why did she turn out to be a drag king? Yeah Robert Preston's character pursued her to go on stage but really, what for exactly?Also we should get to know more about his character, did he have a secret bf? Why did he become a performer? It would've been so interesting to see what his background involved. I give this a 3/10........

A female singer is struggling to find work. She hits on the plan of impersonating a male singer. While this might be good for her professionally, it complicates her personal life.Good, but not great. The problem is that director Blake Edwards can't commit to whether this is a comedy or a drama, so hedges his bets. The comedy mostly consists of one-liners, and in some ways diminishes the point the drama could have made. The drama had heaps of potential: the search for sexual identity, gay rights, women's rights, but it all seems skirted over. However, in the 80s these were quite topical, and issues worth raising.Still, reasonably entertaining and Julie Andrews gives a superb performance in the lead role.

When confronted by the title of this film, it doesn't occur as a film that carries such important topics. The time period its set in definitely emphasizes the inequalities faced by individuals of that era. Like majority movies, the love triangle prevalent between the characters. Even a quintessential sport playing, hands-on, misogynistic male wouldn't take offence to the film, because it is so well structured, with riveting characters. The film has been dubbed as a modern classic, and I agree confidently with that. Even though we have modern forward from the male dominated society, still in our modern society we tend to have the issues dealt with in the film Victor Victoria. The film takes on characteristics of a woman, by this I mean its mysterious, effortless, has ''ups and downs'' while keeping the topics universal.

Movie was way ahead of it's time as first saw it as a eight-year old back in Fla at the time. As it showed Julie Andrews being directed by her husband, the late and great Blake Edwards.He helped revive her career after Mary Popppins was typecasting her. As this proved to really help her shake that image. As she plays a poor female singer who is struggling to make ends meet. As she meets a gay singer who would become her manager, played by the great and late, Robert Preston.As after an argument with Preston's lover and Andrews punching him out, they make up her being a man pretending to be a woman singer. In order to make ends meet and it helps along the way winning both of them, fame and fortune.But Andrews finds out her personal life will clash when she meets the handsome James Gardner, who's bodyguard is also gay, played by the late great Alex Karras and his nagging girlfriend, Leslie Ann Warren.Gardner sees right through Andrews and the two fall in love as Andrews must maintain this image despite a snooping PI wanting to expose her. The film really helped out her career in the 1980s with Edwards.Seen this movie thousands of times, as it was ahead of it's time for the taboo 1980s. RIP Alex Karras, Blake Edwards, and Robert Edwards!
