Does anybody else feel that both Julie Andrews and James Stewart have a relation to goodness that elicits a response like the **[uncanny valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley)** hypothesizes for resemblance to humans? It comes close, which makes it even more distressing, but it is not the real thing. Ony you can’t really point to what is wrong. But it is.  
So there go _My Fair Lady, Sound of Music, Mary Poppins_, and all of Stewart’s X-Mas movies.
