Summary: My Favorite Movie!
Review: This is a great movie. It is based on the life of Maria Von Trapp, and has a lot of historical value. The Music is very heartwarming and you will be singing the songs for days after you watch this movie. Julie Andrews is great in this. If you like Musicals, this film is for you! I especially like the Lonely Gotherd sequence of this film. Be sure to get the DVD!

Summary: HOLLYWOOD`S BEST ADAPTION FROM BROADWAY
Review: THE SOUND OF MUSIC is 1 one those few films that stands the test of time. It is simply the very best musical produced in the 20th century. And Julie Andrews? A gift from the heavens. Enough said.

Summary: The hills are alive...with the ultimate DVD experience!
Review: As if "The Sound Of Music" wasn't already on everyone's top-10 list, now we have the DVD version with lots and lots of bonuses: The making of the movie, theater trailers, an 8 song Kareoke track, and much more. The film with it's true story of the Von Trapp Family's persecution by the Nazis in pre-World War II, with the breathtaking Austrian countryside, and oh, the beautiful sound of music! -- I have seen a few DVDs, now that this technological breakthrough is within reach of the masses, but this one is by far the best of them! Highly recommended!

Summary: Excellent music and entertainment
Review: Some people have described this movie as no more than melodramatic, sentimental sappiness. Christopher Plummer is reported to have refered to this movie, in which he starred, as "The Sound of Mucus." This movie is, in my opinion, the exact opposite. The movie contains inspiring music, a hopeful story line, and an engaging Julie Andrews as Maria, the young governess to the Captain's seven children. The chemistry that develops during the film between the children and Maria and between the Captain and Maria drives the story. Interesting supporting subplots also abound. Some include the Captain's impending marriage to a duchess, teen romance of the oldest daughter with Rolph the delivery boy, the scheming uncle Max who's always on the prowl for a way to come into fame and easy money, the lives and times of the nuns in the convent, and the pre-WWII Austrian setting with the threat of Nazi occupation. You will find Maria to be creative, inventive, and made of sterner stuff than she appears to have. There is hesitancy, faith, fun, music, romance, drama and suspence, and even comedy in this time honored Oscar-winning classic. If you have never watched this movie, watch it. If you don't have it, get it! It's a great show for the entire family -- it does not have offensive language, violence, etc., but it does have abundant positive lessons about family and loyalty. 5 stars all the way. Happy viewing! Alan Holyoak

Summary: Wonderful, if only i could buy it
Review: I love this movie. It is such a classic that it's hard to put into words. The love story is amazing and Julie Andrews is fantastic. I remember being in love with Christopher Plummer after seeing this for the first time. The only problem that I have with it is that the studio hasn't released an edition of it in a really long time. Now, the only possible way for me to get my hands on one is through those online auctions, which are so un-reliable. There is always going to be an audience for this movie, why can't Twentieth Century Fox just release it!

Summary: It just gains more and more fans every year
Review: "The Happiest sound in all the world"? Quite possibly and easily the most famous musical film in Hollywood history. Most of us grown-ups still love it but at the same time we're also tired of seeing it over and over again (maybe that's why it's not rerun on NBC every single year anymore. I havn't seen it rerun since the Easter Season '95). Julie Andrews takes her "Mary Poppins" success and adds even more to it with her delightful rendition of the role that Mary Martin made her own on the Broadway stage in 1959 and ran even farther with it than Martin ever could. In my opinion, and I don't think I'm alone here, but I think that Martin was too old for the part (she was in her mid to late 40s in the stage version and Andrews was 30 when the transition to film came around--a perfect age). As for the rest of the cast, it is just as talented: Christopher Plummer, in the role he will forever be remembered for is a achingly true Captain Von Trapp with those "hidden talents" making subtle appearances throughout the film until blatantly bursting out into the open in the film's closing scenes; Richard Haydn makes for a comical and yet sincere "Uncle" Max, Peggy Wood is a starchy yet compassionate Reverand Mother and Charmian Carr as Liesl stands out as our perennial favorite of the seven children. The locales are breathtaking as well (esp. the opening scene which is probably the most beatiful aerial shot in all of film history and the cunning floral designs of the public Austrian gardens during the "Do-Re-Mi" sequence). So let's all keep watching this most cheerished of all musical films each year and never forget it's tasteful sentiment: to 'climb ev'ry mountain, ford ev'ry stream, follow ev'ry rainbow till you find your dream'.
