      This is the only non-winning film I've seen in recent months, but it gave me a lot of fun! It seems that the good and bad of a movie cannot be measured by awards at all. It's stupid to be superstitious about XX awards!

      [Film Review] Victor Victoria (1982) 7.5/10

Uneasy in life, tightly bound to the chest, this moment is liberated by a funny performance, people are all tolerated, forgive each other, look forward to each other, and the little whirlpools that happen and sometimes get out of control in life.

    Victor Victoria quotes

    • Victoria: You know, pretending to be a man does have its disadvantages.

      [Victoria goes into the bathroom, leaving Toddy alone in bed]

      Toddy: [wistfully] My dear Count, you just said a cotton pickin' mouthful.

    • Chorus Boy [#1]: [watching "Victor' rehearse] He's fantastic.

      Chorus Boy [#2]: He's a phony.

      Admirer at rehearsal: What do you mean?

      Chorus Boy [#2]: If he's a Polish count, I'm Greta Garbo.

      Admirer at rehearsal: [cooing] Well, Greta, whatever he is, I think he's divine.
