didn't get them out. Not that there's anything wrong with them. Far from it. It's just that Julie Andrews was always my ideal of the prim lady, and that pleasant illusion was a wee bat shattered after this.

Hey Scott,
I agree with you completely. I watched SOB one time only, and I did not see the character Sally Miles expose her breasts. What I saw instead was Mary Poppins exposing her breasts, I saw Maria Von Trap exposing her breasts, and I saw Julie Andrews exposing her breasts. How she could do that, and how her husband could encourage her to do that is beyond me. From that point on, I have never been able to appreciate Julie Andrews again.
Neither the scene nor the film held any significant value as satire, humor, or anything else. It was simply a cheap exploitation of Julie Andrews' notoriety, and it certainly was not about art.
Best wishes,

Hey David,
That entire movie was made just so she could show her boobs. I think she and her husband had the idea that a "Mary Poppins" type actress exposing her breasts would be a huge hit, so Blake Edwards wrote a so-called comedy around that premise. What a dud! The part where they absconded with their newly deceased friend from the mortuary, however, is based upon an alledged true incident. Supposedly, when John Barrymore died, W. C. Fields and friends kidnapped his body from the mortuary and brought him home to have a last drink together. When Errol Flynn walked in and saw Barrymore sitting there with a drink in his hand, he shrieked and ran away. At least that's the story. (told by a bunch of drunks). -

Hey Larry,
I am embarrassed to admit that I have no recollection of the scene where they abscond with their friend from the mortuary. In fact, I really do not recall anything from the film anymore - except the part where she bares her chest. The idea of Mary Poppins baring her chest is like some terrible childhood memory of a horror show.
I just do not understand why or how people sometimes do the things they do. Money cannot be the motivation in Julie Andrews case. Did she do it just to please Blake Edwards? How lame can that be? If I suggested such a thing to my wife, she would laugh it off as a joke. If I insisted, she would tell me to take a hike. I guess I just dont get some of the big league people and their big league behaviors.
Best wishes,

exactly can't these guys understand that their beloved Julie Andrews has boobs??? and it's just boobs, it's nothing to get disturbed by. even if she were nude in this movie and showed full frontal, that wouldn't be wrong. everyone has a body. get over it. it's called acting. and the people who can't take it, don't watch it, these people who can't take it sound so immature, like little kids, like suddenly they realized that santa claus is not real. kids can't or shouldn't watch R rated movies and apparently some immature adults can't either.

Julie Andrews is not Mary Poppins, nor is she Maria Von Trapp. She's Julie Andrews with all of the flaws, irregularities, and kinkiness of any normal human being. She's also a good and surprisingly versatile actress. It's just that many pigeon-hole her as this goody-two shoes, which limits her alot and hinders her from truly showing off her range. But guess what? Julie Andrews is an actress, she has boobs, the script of SOB required that she show them off, and she claims she did the film of her own free will. She also says she has no regrets and would do it again if it were appropriate. Get over it! She's an actress and a human being, not a fictional angelic character.
As for the movie itself, I didn't care for it much, but Julie taking this role (along with 10 and Victor/Victoria) was one of the best moves of her career. She's under no obligation to be prim and proper just because some of her most popular characters happened to be so. -

but they had to do it. they had to show her boobs because the whole big part of the film had to do with an erotic musical and her being an innocent big star showing her boobs as being scandalous and being infamous and making the movie a lot of money.

Hey Rlburns666,
Yes, I was aware that Julie Andrews actually has breasts. My mother also has breasts. For some strange reason, however, I really do not like the idea of seeing my mother's breasts.
Perhaps it may be a simple matter of taste. Then again, it could be something else for those folks who like the idea of seeing their mothers' breasts. Does the name "Oedipus" ring any bells?
Best wishes,

exactly. I can't remember ever, ever seeing boobs as perfect boobs in my life. they are perfectly symmetrical, perfectly evenly sized, perfectly straight, and they don't droop or sag at all, and are full, medium sized, and have such beautifully colored areolas, pink. maybe the most perfect boobs I've ever seen. I was so sexually aroused by her boobs in that scene, I was so overwhelmed and breathless. they revealed her boobs in a very effective and sexy way because they revealed them in an unpredictable way because you didn't expect to see them when you did. those guys are so stupid and immature saying I can't see her boobs because she's so innocent. and that one guy saying it scarred him for life sounds like he saw them when he was a little kid, so of course he would've been scarred for life, he shouldn't of been watching this movie then. when you get older you realize that all women have boobs and you mature and get ok with seeing any woman's boobs, even hers. I dont' have the memories of watching her in the sound of music and then having this innocent image of her in my mind, but even if I did, when I became an adult I would be able to take seeing her boobs.

but it doesn't matter, you view on her boobs or sexuality doesn't matter. it's called acting and so it doesn't matter what anyone thinks of her showing her boobs. all that matters is the integrity of the movie which in order for it to have it needed to have her boobs.

Have you ever visited reality?
Julie Andrews is an actress, a woman, a human being. She is not your ideal prim lady.
If your pleasant illusion - which actually sounds creepy and unpleasant - was shatttered by a movie, I suggest you need psychiatric help.
