Julie Andrews plays the titular 1920s would-be it-girl, falling for James Fox’s paper clip seller and clodhopping with Mary Tyler Moore in a lift. If you can get through the opening credits without thinking of Bird’s Eye cod wedges in oven crispy batter, you’re doing better than us. “Goodbye, old frying pan…”

Amazingly, the great Elmer Bernstein won his only Oscar for this. That’s right, not for “The Great Escape,” not for “The Magnificent Seven,” not for any of his great non-60s works like “Rambling Rose” or “Heavy Metal” (no seriously, this has a fantastic orchestral score), but for a ’60s musical set in the ’20s. He doesn’t even have anything on the soundtrack album!
