Editorial Review:
Some people may sneer at this 1965 musical, but the truth is the film has earned its status as a perennially watchable romantic-drama, largely on the strength of a fun story and chemistry between stars Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. Veteran filmmaker Robert Wise (The Day the Earth Stood Still) mostly stays out of the way of the film's appealing elements, which include a based-on-fact tale of Austria's von Trapp family, who fled their Nazi-occupied country in 1938. Andrews is delightful and even fascinating as Maria, who sheds her tomboyish ways as a novice nun to accept the mantle of adulthood, becoming matron of the motherless von Trapp clan. Plummer is matinee-idol handsome and gives a smart performance to boot, and the cast of young people and kids who make up the singing von Trapp children make a strong impression. Based on the Rodgers and Hammerstein stage musical, the score includes such winners as "Maria" and the future John Coltrane hit "My Favorite Things." --Tom Keogh

- The Best Family Musical Ever! Still Enjoyable for Today's Audiences!
When it comes to family-oriented entertainment and especially musicals, it's hard to do better than "The Sound of Music". Not only is the plot very compelling and believable but the songs are simply inspired classics and standards that will continue to be sung many many years from now. This represents Rodgers and Hammerstein at the top of their creative powers and this together with "Oklahoma" represent my favourite musicals of all time.

This dvd version is the full-screen one and ... Read More

- Music to My Eyes
Everyone knows how popular this movie is but I had no idea after 30 years how much I would love it. My mother insisted I see it as a teenager and I wanted no part of it. As an adult with girls 3 and 6, we are enchanted with this movie and watch it any chance we get. It is always the first request on movie night for my girls. Everytime I watch this film I appreciate it in a new way.The story is lovely and apparently real. The dialog is witty and meaningful.The songs are catchy and the scenery will ... Read More
