For our 150th Rialto Recommends we have chosen a film that is very close to our owner's heart. Released in 1982 Blake Edwards" VICTOR/VICTORIA was marketed as "the disguise surprise comedy of the year." Starring Julie Andrews, James Garner, Robert Preston and LesleyAnn Warren VICTOR/VICTORIA is all heart. Driven by a fantastic lead turn from Julie Andrews, Blake Edwards' musical gender-bender is sharp, funny and all-round entertaining. The New York Times raved "VICTOR/VICTORIA is so good, so exhilarating, that the only depressing thing about it is the suspicion that Mr. Edwards is going to have a terrible time trying to top it." While the Chicago Reader wrote at the beginning of this century "Blake Edwards's 1982 sex comedy has the most beautiful range of tones of any American film of its period: it is a work of dry wit, high slapstick, black despair, romantic warmth, and penetrating intelligence." VICTOR/VICTORIA is available to rent for a modest fee from Apple, Amazon, GooglePlay, YouTube, Vudu and others HERE. If you've never seen it, definitely check it out. If you have seen it watch it again and delight in how well it has stood the test of time.
