Stylish Cinema: Thoroughly Modern Millie


Today we’re introducing a weekly feature that we’re very excited about: Stylish Cinema! Remember that book club you joined a while back, but then you never quite got around to finishing the books? Well, this is essentially the same idea except each week we’re watching a fashionable classic film and meeting back here to discuss it.
This week’s film is Thoroughly Modern Millie. It is, in a word, delightful—witty lines, brilliant musical numbers, and loveable characters all wrapped up in gorgeous 1920s attire. Is there anything more visually pleasing than a monochromatic roomful of people dancing the “Tapioca”? It’s no surprise that this fabulous film received an Academy Award nomination for best costume design!

Do you love this movie and its stylish characters as much as we do? Do you have a favorite scene, costume, or character? What do you suppose being “a modern” would mean today? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

Next week’s film: You Can’t Take It with You

One of my very favorite movies. I was not thrilled that they took it and made a musical on Broadway for it because it really stands on its own. Thanks for showcasing it!
