There arent too many women in showbiz more wholesome than Julie Andrews, so when she flashed audiences some skin in the musical Darling Lili, it was the equivalent of walking in on a beloved aunt in the nude. Set during World War I, the film centers on Lili Smith (Andrews), a popular British music hall performer who is regarded as a femme fatale. She is actually a German spy. In hopes of gaining valuable information, Lili begins using her feminine wiles on Major William Larrabee (Rock Hudson), a top American pilot. In the most memorable moment of the film Lili makes many monocles fall when she sings and strips her way through a jazzy stage show. Mary Poppins as youve never seen her before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWSkvVYzBXY
