Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967)
Utterly bonkers twenties musical starring Julie Andrews as a Flapper girl who gets into all kinds of adventures, from Jewish weddings to Harold Lloyd style window ledge teetering and car chases to most bizarrely of all a white slavery ring.
Entertaining with some truly outstanding scenes - the lift where you have to dance to get it to move is a running delight - but at two and a half hours is just far too long.
