It's true, it's very much like a Disney film but you can also see Broccoli's stamp on it ( especially with Ken Adams' sets ). I did not know that Julie Andrews was intended for the part of Truly...I wonder how that would have turned out!

For years afterward I thought the whole writing down songs thing was the height of nerdiness; in fact, I wasn't even going to mention it here at first, but I decided I had to talk about this movie in relation to my childhood, and that was part of my story.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-38239808140515405652017-11-28T21:08:18.758-05:002017-11-28T21:08:18.758-05:00I love it when that old feeling can be recaptured ...I love it when that old feeling can be recaptured when watching a favourite old movie. <br /><br />I used to write the lyrics to songs.
