For a change, Rock Hudson does not dominate a picture.
Yes, it's hard to imagine that Julie Andrews is a German World War 1 spy in this wonderful film, especially since she sings so beautifully here. From the opening number of Whistling in the Dark, which was Oscar nominated, for best song, we know we're in for a treat in this film.
The film is a special one because circumstances dictate that Lily and her uncle come around by picture's end. It also again shows that her love for the man (Hudson) she is spying on shall eventually circumvent politics, even in war-time.
The patriotic songs are wonderfully delivered and you sure get a feel of the period. There were certain times that I felt that Andrews was Mary Poppins or the novice Maria of "The Sound of Music."
