VICTOR / VICTORIA

Victoria Grant (Julie Andrews) is a struggling English chanteuse trying to make ends meet after being abandoned in Paris. With eviction looming she meets enterprising cabaret owner Toddy (Robert Preston) who intriguingly reinvents her as a male impersonator posing as a female impersonator: Count Victor Grazinski is born and quickly becomes the toast of Parisian nightlife. "His" success attracts the attention of big-time Chicago mobster and night-club owner King Marchan (James Garner) who becomes captivated, confused and fascinated by Victor/Victoria - and is determined to find out why, with hilarious and potentially disastrous consequences! GOING FOR A SONG The rapturous applause that greeted the release of Victor/Victoria led to seven 1982 Academy Award nominations including Best Actress (Julie Andrews) Best Supporting Actor (Robert Preston) and Best Screenplay (Blake Edwards). The music penned by Leslie Bricusse and Henry Mancini, which won the Best Original Score gong allowed Julie Andrews to demonstrate her extraordinary vocal range. Her versatility in successfully carrying off cross gender roles simultaneously as well as her gift for comic timing make this one of her most captivating on-screen performances.
