People tends to overrate when it comes to old movies for many reasons, But this film is good, authentic, joyful, classic and marvelous.
We really miss this kind of films these days. And I loved it with all my heart.

The sound of a musical masterpiece.

I had a deep desire to watch this film seeing as I love classic musicals as well as classics in general, it is my mother's all-time favourite film and I have been told previously by other relatives and friends that recommended it to me and… my God! Am I pleased or what?! The Sound Of Music is one of the single most perfect pieces of art and entertainment that I have ever laid my eyes on in my li... read more

The dirty little secret of theater nerds is that the stage show version of The Sound of Music is not very good. The movie isn’t just an improvement, the movie is practically an entirely different beast. It doesn’t just restructure the narrative, it completely rethinks some musical numbers, modifies the plot, and, of course, has Julie Andrews leading the way. It all adds up into something warm ... read more

Description: Maria had longed to be a nun since she was a young girl, yet when she became old enough discovered that it wasn't at all what she thought. Often in trouble and doing the wrong things, Maria is sent to the house of a retired naval captain, named Captain Von Trapp, to care for his children.

Maria soon learns that all these children need is a little love to change their attitudes. Maria teaches the children to sing, and through her, music is brought back into the hearts and home of the Von Tra ... (more)

" Notes: It was my wife who actually introduced this movie to me when we first met. Indeed, it was one of her favorite movies, one of those that she saw so many times as a child, and she was (rightfully) shocked that I never saw the damned thing in my life. Well, even though I can see why it has been so much loved after so many years, to be honest, I didn't really connect with this movie. I mean, I do think that Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer both delivered some really solid performances"

"One of the greatest screen musicals and a film I haven't seen in its entirety since the 70's. The tale of a num who becomes governess to an Austrian naval captain's seven children is brimming with great songs and a story not afraid to deal with difficult subject matters (the rise of Naziism in Austria). The production values and cinematography is hugely impressive. It makes for perfect Sunday afternoon entertainment."
