Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967)
Just like most of the musicals of great composers, the topic of this one is heavy(White Slavery), but it is made light because of the music and comedic lines. It is also a movie about misconceptions and about love. The songs and dance steps are good, and the acting was, well, it was good. Probably not great, but it was good. It was written by Richard Morris and directed by George Roy Hill. A stage version was based on this movie(a full musical) with lyrics written by Dick Scanlan and music composed by Jeanine Tesori. The sound track of the movie was by Elmer Bernstein and his team. Pat Morita, Beatrice Lillie and Jack Soo Thank goodness, even if there are still stereotypes, the Asians are given better roles now. The great Pat Morita and Jack Soo were given somewhat insulting roles here.
