Warren/Keaton: Victor/Victoria

I just finished watching the film "Victor Victoria" where Julie Andrews portrays a poor singer who schemes to make it BIG in "Gay Paris" by pretending to be a man who is pretending to be a woman. (hijinks ensue.)

Leslie Ann Warren plays a supporting roll, but the few times she shows up on screen, I try to remember other movies she was in. However the movies that came to mind didn't satisfy me. That's when it hit me. She and Diane Keaton are *DOPPELGANGERS.


I have to concede, though, that Diane is much more glamorous and classy.


*From the German "Doppelgängers" - double walker, or look-alike... See also: The Double: A Petersburg Poem is a novella written by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
