I believe it not to be a botched surgery, but rather, unsuccessful surgery. She developed the polyps from performing this musical nightly on Broadway. She has said she only planned on doing it for a year, but stayed much longer, thus damaging her vocal chords. It is still a tragedy, as her voice is unmatched in our time.

Bricusse also managed to write a slew of other wonderful songs during his lifetime, including "What Kind of Fool Am I?" and the scores of the film musical version of Scrooge (1970,) as well as the score of 1971's glorious Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factor, co-written with his frequent collaborator Anthony Newley. He is unquestionably a major component of what made the film version of Victor/Victoria so successful. Props to you, Mr. Bricusse!

Crescendo??? Crescendo, in musical terms, means getting louder, which she did several times, along with decrescendo, or getting softer. What I think you are referring to is the two-octave scale at the end. What makes that difficult is that female singers pass through two "passagios"--or "breaks"--during those two octaves. Being able to do that seamlessly meant that her voice was extremely agile...because we didn't perceive any "breaks". In layman's terms...she sang a LOT, transitioning through octaves....but...if you notice, she paused during each potential "break" and allowed her larynx to make that transition during the pause.

The movie was filmed completely at Pinewood Studios in the UK and the choreographer was Paddy Stone (assisted by Maggie Goodwin). A lot of Paddy's fancy steps were missed by the closeups during the scene. The dancers rehearsed for ages and it was a shame that a lot of their hard work was not seen. I worked with some of the dancers in London between 1967-76 and with Paddy Stone on the Engelbert Humperdinck TV special in 1969. He was a real task master. He worked with Jack Cole in the USA before he returned to the UK. Irving Davies was his partner and they had similar styles when choreographing.

I was 21 when I saw the film at a press screening on the MGM lot. I didn't know anything about it except the logo. It would open exclusively at the Village Theater in Westwood and the Ziegfeld in Manhattan on April 2 and then go into wide release on April 24 of 1982. I've seen practically all the versions people have performed of this number and nothing tops "Le Jazz Hot" in the film. The way the tempo kicks in with the finger snaps is much faster than the way it's terribly slowed down elsewhere (even on Broadway). And it's all uphill from there. The dance arrangement alone is cause for celebration. I don't even mind the small inserts of the reactions by James Garner, Leslie Anne Warren and Alex Karras ("She's a winner."), which add to the suspense. They arrive too late to read their programs and the way Garner stops clapping is genius. "Le Jazz Hot" just builds and builds to it's orgasmic conclusion. The design and execution of this number culminate in a way that is simply stunning. It instantly became my favorite nightclub number of all time. And I was yet to see many more as my education continued due first, to the revival cinemas, then VHS, then cable, then DVD and now streaming. It still gives me chills.

I saw Victor/Victoria for the first time on the MGM lot too in the main theater at an employee screening. I had worked on the lot for about a year. Here is another story to go with this. I worked in the Thalberg building and in the basement were screening rooms. I happen to be down there when Lesley Ann Warren, and some other people came out of the screening room. They just watched Victor/ Victoria. Leslie was less than happy with her performance, and expressing that to the people she was with. Many years later, when I saw her again, I reminded her of what she said, and wondered if she really believed at the time, she wasn’t very good.

Bricusse also managed to write a slew of other wonderful songs during his lifetime, including "What Kind of Fool Am I?" and the scores of the film musical version of Scrooge (1970,) as well as the score of 1971's glorious Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factor, co-written with his frequent collaborator Anthony Newley. He is unquestionably a major component of what made the film version of Victor/Victoria so successful. Props to you, Mr. Bricusse!

Crescendo??? Crescendo, in musical terms, means getting louder, which she did several times, along with decrescendo, or getting softer. What I think you are referring to is the two-octave scale at the end. What makes that difficult is that female singers pass through two "passagios"--or "breaks"--during those two octaves. Being able to do that seamlessly meant that her voice was extremely agile...because we didn't perceive any "breaks". In layman's terms...she sang a LOT, transitioning through octaves....but...if you notice, she paused during each potential "break" and allowed her larynx to make that transition during the pause.
That's how a great musical song is done! Great voice, great choreagraphy, great ending. wonderful!

The movie was filmed completely at Pinewood Studios in the UK and the choreographer was Paddy Stone (assisted by Maggie Goodwin). A lot of Paddy's fancy steps were missed by the closeups during the scene. The dancers rehearsed for ages and it was a shame that a lot of their hard work was not seen. I worked with some of the dancers in London between 1967-76 and with Paddy Stone on the Engelbert Humperdinck TV special in 1969. He was a real task master. He worked with Jack Cole in the USA before he returned to the UK. Irving Davies was his partner and they had similar styles when choreographing.
The magnificent Julie Andrews is a legend, an icon, a myth. Le Jazz Hot is a masterpiece! What a spectacular performance by a true star with the most glorious voice in show business. The great, multi talented and forever gorgeous Julie is simply VICTORIOUS!

Fantastic singing, but the choreography was superb, too.
When my friends and I saw this in a theater the audience spontaneously stood up and cheered! It was the first time I had ever seen such a thing, and never again! One of her best performances, if not the?
I was 21 when I saw the film at a press screening on the MGM lot. I didn't know anything about it except the logo. It would open exclusively at the Village Theater in Westwood and the Ziegfeld in Manhattan on April 2 and then go into wide release on April 24 of 1982. I've seen practically all the versions people have performed of this number and nothing tops "Le Jazz Hot" in the film. The way the tempo kicks in with the finger snaps is much faster than the way it's terribly slowed down elsewhere (even on Broadway). And it's all uphill from there. The dance arrangement alone is cause for celebration. I don't even mind the small inserts of the reactions by James Garner, Leslie Anne Warren and Alex Karras ("She's a winner."), which add to the suspense. They arrive too late to read their programs and the way Garner stops clapping is genius. "Le Jazz Hot" just builds and builds to it's orgasmic conclusion. The design and execution of this number culminate in a way that is simply stunning. It instantly became my favorite nightclub number of all time. And I was yet to see many more as my education continued due first, to the revival cinemas, then VHS, then cable, then DVD and now streaming. It still gives me chills.

I saw Victor/Victoria for the first time on the MGM lot too in the main theater at an employee screening. I had worked on the lot for about a year. Here is another story to go with this. I worked in the Thalberg building and in the basement were screening rooms. I happen to be down there when Lesley Ann Warren, and some other people came out of the screening room. They just watched Victor/ Victoria. Leslie was less than happy with her performance, and expressing that to the people she was with. Many years later, when I saw her again, I reminded her of what she said, and wondered if she really believed at the time, she wasn’t very good.

@@goawayleavemealone2880 A drag queen *is* a female impersonator, and the term "drag" used to describe a man wearing women's clothing dates back to the 1870's. The first known use of the term (in the form "queen of drag") dates from drag balls hosted in the 1880's in Washington, D.C. It's not like RuPaul invented drag queens a decade or two ago.

@@goawayleavemealone2880 - You are completely wrong. Drag performers do NOT attempt to pretend to be women - they attempt to be great performers period. It is its own thing. Have you ever been to a drag show? (Watching "The Birdcage" doesn't count.)

@@MossyMozart - I'm gay and hung out with some of the local drag Queens, in my younger years. Hi Glitzy and Porsche if you're reading this. And if we're going to be pretentious, I preferred "Le Cage Aux Folles". Stop trying to make drag something it's not, it can be an elevated art form. But it rarely actually is.
Dame Julie Andrews is a goddess pure and simple. And don’t get me started on how great Miss Leslie Anne Warren was in this film also!❤
Julie Andrews is a world treasure.
I'd forgotten how much I liked this movie.
This performance never gets old. I'm blown away every time I watch it!
my favorite line... Wait!!! lock the door.. Leslie slayed it...
I know I'm years late to the discussion, but I am glad you included the part after the song. I think this one scene alone shows why Lesley Ann Warren was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
Lesley Ann Warren is PRICELESS!!!

This is one of my favorite scenes in any movie. Julie Andrews is AMAZING!
Literally THE BEST, MOST AWESOME, TIP TOP musical number from ANY MOVIE EVER!!!!!
Divine Julie Andrews!!!! One of the greatest voices in vocal history!!!! Great performance!!!
We call this, “talent!” 🎉
I remember seeing this film at the cinema when it first came out and the audience actually appaluded at the end of this song
Julie. but also the dancers, Leslie Ann Warren, James Garner made this moment a great one
Makes me cry thinking Ms. Andrews underwent a vocal tragedy shortly after... altering her voice ever after 😪 Never fear Ms. Andrews. You will always be our Maria/Victoria/Poppins ♥♥♥
My favorite Julie Andrews movie! Thank you Julie for your amazing talent.
I love this movie. I love every movie of Julie’s.

My favorite one si “the sound of music”
What I love about older films is that the musical numbers looked easy, but of course they were not! Recent films, try to make it complex and difficult, but they're easy, and there's just no comparison!
The most icredicible voice. PERFECTION.. She is so beautiful, charming and fun!!! This movie always makes me happy!!!
Julie Andrews has such a beautiful voice--I've been a fan of hers since "The Sound of Music", and this is such a wonderful tune!😊⛪
Ok. Gotta watch that movie again. Isn't she just amazing? I saw her on tv recently and she's still lovely and gracious.
I loved the movie, and saw it on Broadway. The whole movie case were phenomenal. Leslie Ann Warren was great, and Robert Preston perfect, and of course Julie and James, reunited again in film.
This film has one of the greatest casts ever--so many wonderful performers! ❤
One of the BEST movies EVER!!!
Julie Andrews is one of the most Iconic Hollywood Goddesses ever, the only person able to make l someone love, who legit "hates" musical movies. JULIE GORGEOUS! 💚✨💎🎶🎶
JA is the tops, the best. And a beautiful lovely lady as well. Thank you Julie for everything you've done in the entertainment world always a joy to watch.
Just finished watching the movie about an hour ago. Wow.. I love it, it's amazing, beautiful, true, Julie's voice is a delight and the last scene brought tears to my eyes..
I am pretty sure this performance still has the power to stir every gay boy's soul to its very core when they see it for the first or the 100th time 😄

I'm gay and love this song, but nothing about the song or even the movie stirs my soul. Please stop assisting in perpetuating the idea that all young gay men/boys are a bunch of misunderstood theatre kids and gender confused misfits.

@@cherylbohlender7341 - Because I very much enjoy the song, but please let's not act like this song speaks to something in the soul of every gay man on a profound level. Aren't we as a species supposed to find that sort of stereotyping objectionable.
Julie Andrews is truly amazing.
Absolutely wonderful and Julie Andrew's looks beautiful
Nothing could be better than this cast and Julie Andrews was sublime, but it was based on a German film with the same plot made in 1933 at the height of their decadent era - think of Cabaret.
Such a talent the world may never see again.
One of my favorite production numbers of all time. Excellent song. And Julie Andrews' extended Ethel Merman style note toward the end is so gratifying.
Always a pleasure to watch and hear Julie Andrews. A wonderful actress and a marvelous singer. Thank you, Dame Julie.
I remember seeing this movie when it first came out. Everyone in it was simply phenomenal and Julie Andrews voice and range was amazing!
One of my favorite moves.. Right.. Blessing.. Dr Scott
This came up after I listened to the video of her singing "Je Suis Titania," and the high note she ends that aria with is exactly the same one the trumpet starts with in this clip!
One of my favorite singers
One of the greatest movies of all time with one of the greatest actresses of all time !!! We love you Julie !!!!
I first saw this movie on cable in the 90s when I was a young girl. I instantly fell in love with the story, actors/characters and of course the songs. Ms. Andrews is absolutely STUNNING!!!

Same here. I absolutely love this film, along with Cabaret. Julie Andrews and Jazz are match made in heaven.
My theater troupe and I performed this in an off Broadway production, years ago. The actress playing “Victoria” was no Julie Andrews, but she was almost as good in her own way.
Equally thrilling for me are the dancers all so beautiful ❤️ and OMG what a routine, stunning.
Buen cuadro musical de una gran película.Victor Victoria.
