James Garner as a mobster who falls for a girl who is pretending to be a boy because she needs the money and is performing as a boy pretending to be a girl. It’s all done in Paris Art Deco and I’ve never seen set decorating to match it. Julie Andrews is the girl and they’re both superb in the roles.

Cross-dressing story-lines tend to bore me, so I never saw it. Never watched “Bosom Buddies” or even the classic “Some Like It Hot”, though I am a film buff. Enjoy the the Monty Python drag skits and Klinger on MASH was fun.

I knew Julie Andrews was in Victor/Victoria, but not James Garner - both fine actors, I’ll have to give it a viewing.

Another interesting type of film sets is the era of German Expressionism - Nosferatu, Metropolis, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and so on.

The set for Svengali was pretty cool, too.

You don’t wanna get me started on either film or architecture.
:D
