THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE. Julie An drews, Mary Tyler Moore, Carol Channing and Bea Lillie flip through some oh-you kidding dialogue and some ricky-ticky tunes in an otherwise lackluster musica...
Even a first-rate cast cannot help Millie from ultimately being thoroughly maudlin. Julie Andrews' star bright charm and prodigious energies cannot make a hit all by themselves, nor can Beatrice Lillie's still wonderful deadpan drolleries. Carol Channing, in a cameo role, only indicates that she is better as a living Dolly than as an overgrown Jazz Baby.
