Summary: The greatest musical !
Review: The Sound of Music is appealing to adults and children alike whether the year is 1965 or 2065. The musical score is excellent and Julie Andrews is clearly the best. I doubt if there will be ever a film made such as The Sound of Music. I would recommend this to everyone.

Rating: 4 stars

Review: This film was very good although I didn't really like some of the songs. The acting by Julie Andrews, as usuall, was excellent and exceptional as was all the other acting.

A sad and captivating movie on the whole

Summary: Robert Wise Directs Romantic True Story!!!
Review: Julie Andrews stars in "The Sound of Music" a sweet,funny,and romantic true-life story of the Von Trapp Family Singers. Andrews stars as Maria,a sweet,tomboyish novice at Nonberg Abbey.Though loved by most of the nuns,it is clear that she isn't cut out for a nun's life,so the Mother Abbes sends her to the home of a wealthy,widowed,former Naval captain named Baron Von Trapp.Quikly learning of the Captain's strict upbringing of his seven motherless children,Maria introduces warmth,happiness,and music to the house,ultimatly winning over the children,and falling in love with the Captain.When confronted with the shocking and frightening truth of the Captain's love for her,Maria leaves the house,only to be sent back.Upon her return,she learns of the Captain's engagement to a cold noblewoman. After the Captain declares his love for her does Maria truly understand how deep her love is for him.But soon after their marriage,Maria and the Captain are forced to make a life-changing decision brought on by the invasion of the Nazis.One of the most poular films of all time,"The Sound of Music" is endearing because of its heart,its love,and, of course,its music.I think this is a treat for all ages,but especially for the romantic in all of us.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Wonderful!!! One of the Best Musicals Ever Made!!!
Review: First of all, I'd like to confess that I've probably watched this movie more than one hundred times in my lifetime.

"The Sound of Music" is such a popular movie that people can't enough of making fun of it, which is understandable: I mean, a nun, seven children, songs by Rodgers and Hammerstein, and Austrian landscape. In reality, most of these people probably haven't sat down and watched this movie, because it is an absolutely unforgettable experience.

Julie Andrews is absolutely magical as Maria. When she runs on the mountaintop and starts singing the famous lyrics "The hills are alive...," it sends chills down my spine to this day. Christopher Plummer cuts a good figure as the captain but gave a rather stiff performance: he doesn't bring anything extra to the role. Eleanor Parker, as the Baroness, was wasted--a role like that was far beneath her talents. But the children were all wonderful, especially Charmian Carr who was charming as Liesl.

This movie is ultrasentimental and proud of it. But I'll stick with this rather than some of those one-dimensional slasher flicks which are in fashion these days. It has a plausible story, some of the world's most remembered songs, and the glorious Austrian and Swiss Alps in the background. Overall, I can't say anything other than I loved it.
