Darling Lili is a 1970 American musical film.

Set during World War I, it centers on Lili Smith, a popular British music hall performer who is regarded as a femme fatale. She’s actually a German spy, and the uncle she dotes upon is really Col. Kurt Von Ruger, a fellow espionage agent and her contact for the Huns. In hopes of gaining valuable information, Lili begins using her feminine wiles on Maj. William Larrabee, a top American pilot. However, Lili soon discovers that she’s falling in love with Larrabee and can’t find the courage to betray him, and when Larrabee discovers Lili’s secret, he refuses to turn her in.

The screenplay was written by William Peter Blatty and Blake Edwards, who also directed. The cast included Julie Andrews as Lili, Rock Hudson as Larabee, and Jeremy Kemp as Von Ruger.

The original score was composed by Henry Mancini, and he and Johnny Mercer wrote the title tune. Actual songs from the era performed in the film include “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary,” “Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag and Smile, Smile Smile,” “Keep the Home Fires Burning,” and “Mademoiselle from Armentieres.”

The song “Whistling Away the Dark” (music by Henry Mancini, words by Johnny Mercer) was nominated for an Academy Award for best song, of which Julie Andrews gave an unforgettable and moving performance at the beginning of the film.

The movie had two other nominations, in costume design (Donald Brooks and Jack Bear) and best original song score (by Henry Mancini), but failed to win an Oscar.

Edwards suffered continuous interference from Paramount Pictures executives while making the film, and it was eventually edited by the studio largely without his input. The director later satirized the problems he encountered making the film in S.O.B..

The film was horribly managed by Paramount executives and barely got a release in most of the United States. Despite breaking and setting box-office records at Radio City Music Hall, the film was a critical and commercial failure. Budgeted at $25 million, it grossed only $5 million in the US, and later earned $3.3 million in videotape rentals.

American Masters Celebrates Dick Van Dyke’s 100th Birthday with Star-Studded Documentary. Starring Dick Van Dyke explores how the prolific performer became a star on stage, television and film for nearly eight decades.

Starring Dick Van Dyke chronicles the star’s career over eight decades, beginning with his stint as a radio DJ and slapstick nightclub act and through his breakthrough television gigs and movie roles. In addition to his memorable work, the documentary features rare and never-before-seen footage and performance clips, as well as new, exclusive interviews with Julie Andrews, Carol Burnett, Jim Carrey, Ted Danson, Steve Martin, Conan O’Brien, Martin Short and more. Also featured are archival interviews with Van Dyke’s former costars and colleagues, including Walter Cronkite, Sheldon Leonard, Rose Marie, Mary Tyler Moore and Carl Reiner.

Van Dyke was born in 1925 in West Plains, Missouri and grew up in Danville, Illinois, where he participated in choir and drama club as a high school student. While he was a local radio DJ in Danville, Van Dyke formed a comedy duo with Phil Erickson called The Merry Mutes. They toured the nightclub circuit across America until Van Dyke launched his television career with various gigs around the country, including The CBS Morning Show, which he co-anchored with revered journalist Walter Cronkite.

During those early days, Van Dyke experienced both high and low points, but finally hit the big time with a successful run as Albert Peterson in the Broadway production of Bye Bye Birdie. However, believing that he wouldn’t be able to support his growing family with a career on the stage, Van Dyke kept searching for the ideal television vehicle to utilize his talents. In 1961, he landed his own sitcom, The Dick Van Dyke Show, which also starred comedy legend Mary Tyler Moore. He continued his Hollywood success in beloved classics such as the film adaptation of Bye Bye Birdie, Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Since then, Van Dyke has continued to reinvent himself in countless film and television roles, in both comedy and drama, including the lead role in the mystery series Diagnosis: Murder. He has won 6 Emmys (the most recent in 2024), one Grammy and one Tony Award.

Synopsis:
In 1930’s Austria, a young woman named Maria is failing miserably in her attempts to become a nun. When the Navy captain Georg Von Trapp writes to the convent asking for a governess that can handle his seven mischievous children, Maria is given the job. The Captain’s wife is dead, and he is often away, and runs the household as strictly as he does the ships he sails on. The children are unhappy and resentful of the governesses that their father keeps hiring, and have managed to run each of them off one by one. When Maria arrives, she is initially met with the same hostility, but her kindness, understanding, and sense of fun soon draws them to her and brings some much-needed joy into all their lives — including the Captain’s. Eventually he and Maria find themselves falling in love, even though Georg is already engaged to a Baroness and Maria is still a postulant. The romance makes them both start questioning the decisions they have made. Their personal conflicts soon become overshadowed, however, by world events. Austria is about to come under the control of Germany, and the Captain may soon find himself drafted into the German navy and forced to fight against his own country.
