Can you watch a KZfaq video library assistant becomes savior for dog please

The same Julie Andrews who would later star in Walt Disney’s Mary Poppins.

Amen to that! Vanessa for me any day.

I love both, but this one was actually the version I first fell in love with. 😍 Childhood favorite. 😍 This very same scene is also where I first fell in love with this version of the Guinevere character. 🌟🤩⭐ Childhood memories. 😍

Me too. Well, I never really forgot but I remember even more now. ^____^

Therese O'Brien people have a way of sniffing out the paths that may be stretching out before them. Felix Felicis

Exactly. I think this is deliberate foreshadowing on the part of Lerner and Loewe, but yes. They did a nice job with the foreshadowing. I often think of that when I listen to the "Guinevere" song. Got what you wished for earlier on, so be careful what you wish for. (She didn't really mean to *literally* make all those things happen!)

Exactly. There is a heavy irony in the fact that many of the things Guinevere wishes for in this song end up coming to pass later on when she's no longer a maiden even though she at that point didn't intend them to happen and doesn't want them to happen. Guinevere in this song is also making it clear that she's still very self-centered (as teenaged girls often are) because she shows no concern for the agony that these putative men are experiencing for her sake but only thinks about how much of a compliment it is that they would want to go through this in order to prove that they deserve her.

Andrews is of course the superior singer technically, but Vanessa gives it the heart and soul that makes it so memorable.

Julie Andews' voice was stronger.😊

Yep.

Andrews is too distant. You would never really call her "sensual". Mary Poppins, fine. Passionate Lady Gwen, not so much.

Overall I agree, this is hers. Julie Andrew's did good too but it just wasn't the same. Then again I am used to it the Vanessa Redgrave way so I am probably not going to like someone else's version as much. If you watch the clip on KZfaq of Julie Andrew's in "What Do the Simple Folk Do?" you can see that yes, she did act but it was a different kind of acting. Every actress who plays it makes the role her own in a different way. I think that they *both* felt it, acted it, sensed it, played it but just...not the same. To me Vanessa is the more lovable one in this particular role. I also think that a lot of us have gotten used to the movie versions instead of the stage versions, but it isn't only that. We are all entitled to our different favorites.

I'm sorry about the "Andrew's" but autocorrect keeps doing it like that for me and I can't see an edit button on KZfaq on this screen. I know what her name is but autocorrect does not. Just saying. Sorry about that. Grrrrr.

If you've ever noticed all the white, white, white in this scene. I know she is not exactly a pure lily white lamb *all* the time but in this scene she is about as innocent and virginal as we ever see her. Could be that's at least partly what all the whiteness is for in this scene.

@@julistarling8382 , and she wears black in the end. The original film version of West Side Story was similar in a way. Maria wore white when she went to the dance and red in the finale.

Shut up

@@josephinerodriguez7031 ME? LOL. Okay.

I know but that's part of what's so cute about it. She doesn't even really *know* yet what she wants. She might be eighteen or older but she's still a baby about those sorts of things now. Later she'll know more but it will be too late then. We learn from experience and hindsight is 20/20 and so on.

@@julistarling8382 Yup. How many little boys ran off to war thinking it would be great fun only to be killed or forever traumatized? So. Many. I never said it was cute. She's just naïve.

There is something really adorable here about this mixture of innocence *and* how grown up or mature she probably *thinks* she is. 😉

It is always a mistake to compare a previous era to our present one, and to expect the same values to operate then, as now.

@masakasama Arthur was a good guy. But Lancelot was hot and kind of charmed her. Its not easy .

Jenny Rose: Exactly. I second that opinion.

I do want to just say that at least a dozen or more writers actually *have* written very likeable Guineveres. Can't be all *that* hard to when so many have succeeded so well. (Okay, I'll shut up now. Too many comments from me anyway. 😉 I'll give somebody else a chance to talk! ^___^)

@@julistarling8382 Including Sir Thomas Malory, IMNSHO.

I've actually heard repeatedly that Julie Andrews and Richard Burton both voluntarily *turned down* the film roles in Camelot. Maybe they just both had already been offered other projects that they liked better? It does happen that way sometimes. Wish people would *stop* saying "got screwed over" and so on. Because it's (at least usually) not true. Besides. Go ask Julie Andrews if you *really* want to know. 😉😜😘

@@julistarling8382 - by the time the film was made, both Julie and Richard Burton were big stars. Burton wasn't interested in making the film but Julie would only do it if Burton was the co-star so turned it down. She really didn't care for Richard Harris after ructions when making 'Hawaii' with him. Harris in turn said he loathed her! Not good for screen chemistry, I surmise :)

I actually think Vanessa and Julie are quite comparable in looks but what separates them, for me, are their inner workings. Julie exudes grace and graciousness, which is very well, but Vanessa radiates worldliness, intellect and many other qualities which reach beyond the talents of Julie and so many actresses who have ever lived. Even Meryl Streep (who is overpraised anyway, in my humble opinion) couldn't compare. Vanessa is a true acting legend and one of my all-time favorites.

@@blerksnarfgut2766. Well put. Thanks for your thoughtful reflections.

Er. Um. They're both beautiful but in different ways. And as to Julie Andrews supposedly being so unable to play sexy or something like some people are saying. She was never unable to play it that way, she just was not typically seen by audiences that way because she had a different and more innocent sort of reputation. It is also possible that different movies' casting directors just plain wanted different people and did not want to cast the same actress in every movie. Besides...tastes differ.

Julie Andrews is quite lovely on screen in The Sound of Music. Including the closeups. Just saying.

@@julistarling8382 You are absolutely right. Julie Andrews would have been good in it too. It’s all a matter of preference. And her voice is extraordinary.

Julie Andrews and Richard Burton were not available at the time of filming.

Thank you,Bentley.At least we can continue to relish the brilliant Original Broadway Cast recording ; great sound quality too.

By 1966 director Logan wanted actors first before singers to make it more contemporary and more appealing to an audience that was literally in the civil rights anti-war movement. So it needed to be different from the stage version.

Vanessa Redgrave and Richard Harris brought the characters to life. They made their characters real human beings and not just polished operatic singers. I loved Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music. The part and her style suited it well. But Camelot needed Vanessa Redgrave and My Fair Lady needed Audrey Hepburn. I’m responding to a 3 year old comment but still…..

@susangodwin600: you wonderfully put ! I love your comments, because it's so right and good , good things are timeless , you know.
