"This article is about the 1967 film. For the Broadway musical, see Thoroughly Modern Millie (musical)." "Thoroughly Modern Millie" is a 1967 musical comedy film directed by George Roy Hill and starring Julie Andrews, James Fox, Mary Tyler Moore, John Gavin, Carol Channing, Beatrice Lillie, Pat Morita and Jack Soo.

The screenplay was by Richard Morris, who was inspired by a 1956 British musical called "Chrysanthemum". His effort won him a Writers Guild of America award for Best American Musical. The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards and five Golden Globes. It won the Academy Award for Original Music Score (composed by Elmer Bernstein) and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for Channing.

The songs used in the production were primarily songs from the 1910s and 1920s. The most recognizable song used, by title at least, was probably "Baby Face". Another song recognizable by melody but not necessarily by name was 1919's "Jazz Baby", for which the film's producers found they had to acquire the rights from General Mills, who had used the tune with various lyrics to promote Wheaties for over 40 years.

The film was successfully adapted for the stage under the same name in the early 2000s. The stage version contained original music as well as a subset of the old songs used in the film.
