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.

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

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)

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- February 2016 (26 movies items)

" DVD- 2hrs. 54min. First Viewing Of course, The Sound of Music is easily one of the most recognizable musicals ever, and that familiarity helps lend the film a certain amount of fun. It's superb in every technical department, as well as in it's casting (Andrews in outstanding). The biggest problem that the film has is it's bloated storyline, which could've been trimmed by probably 20 minutes and made better (it just keeps going). Still, its a strong film with several earworm songs. Monthly Wes"
