Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967)
Directed by George Roy Hill
Millie Dillmount, a fearless young lady fresh from Salina, Kansas, determined to experience Life, sets out to see the world in the rip-roaring Twenties. With high spirits and wearing one of those new high hemlines, she arrives in New York to test the "modern" ideas she had been reading about back in Kansas: "I've taken the girl out of Kansas. Now I have to take Kansas out of the girl!"

What critics compared Thoroughly Modern Millie to
Sure, there is the occasional adaptation of a Broadway smash, but even they have mostly tanked (“The Producers”? “The Phantom of the Opera”?), and live-action attempts to replicate the Astaire-Rogers formula, or the Vincent Minnelli MGM model, pretty much died after “Gigi,” with bombs like “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and “Star!” in the late sixties sealing the grave.
