About a film I love: I thought I'd never see the day: I was searching for any copy of Billy Wilder's "Buddy Buddy" with Lemon and Matthau, originally hoping to find a VHS. Oh, with German dub, mind you. But nothing. The film flopped back in the day, and thus got only a very, very, veeery limited DVD release in German. Just for the new year 2025, I found a sealed copy no less! The quality suggests that the master used here was a VHS, but I do not care at all. Yes, the movie can be found even on the Internet Archive and yes, if you search even harder, you'll find it with German dub online as well. But that quality is even worse, just short of unwatchable - and believe me, I don't say that often. So I'm very happy to have this in a decent quality. Well, who knows that movie anyways? And who enjoys it as much as me? Very small target audience 😅. Anyways. Cheers everyone!

#JulieAndrews stared in the movie (1982) & a Broadway production (1995) of #VictorVictoria in which Julie plays a singer who is a "woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman" . . . which was a production well ahead of the times, even though 1982 doesn't sound all that long ago to me.

This movie has been missing from my #DVD collection for a long time & I bought one thinking it was a copy of the movie but it was copy of the Broadway production instead. I was surprised but not disappointed & am trying to buy a copy of the movie, as well

I've also have movie & play versions #Rent on DVD & it's nice to compare how the plot is adapted for each medium.

This play reminds me of the final line/scene in #SomeLikeItHot where #JackLemon admits to the millionaire played by #JoeEBrown who has been pursing him dressed as a woman that he's actually a man. Joe's response:

"Nobody's perfect." LOL! 😎

. . . which was an even more daring remark back in 1959.😲
