Victor Victoria is about a woman with a wonderful soprano voice pretending to be a man who is pretending to be a woman. Got it?
It’s also about a handsome, macho man who falls for someone he thinks is a man (pretending to be a woman). Problem is that he’s not gay and he can’t understand why he’s so attracted to another man. Are you still with me? As a result, this macho man fights his attraction all the way.
The woman (pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman) finds herself attracted to Mr. Macho. Except she can’t afford to fall for a man, when everyone thinks she’s a man.
The entire storyline is funny and trust me, it’s NOT confusing as I’ve probably made it seem. 
Do the two get together? Of course, and you can imagine the Alpha male’s relief when Mr. Macho finds out that he’s attracted to and fallen for a woman, not a man. The problem for the two, then, becomes how they can have a normal relationship, especially in public. There are a lot of other funny scenes and the music is fun to listen to.
This 1982 music comedy stars Julie Andrews (one of my fave actresses and singers), James Garner, Robert Preston (two favorite actors, too) and more talented actors.
If you ever come across this romantic comedy on T.V. don’t miss it.
