The Sound of Music - Mom and a Matinee (a lapse into nostalgia)
Once upon a time, when I was but a wee child, I went to see a matinee. Now this was before premium cable channels, before VCRs, before even regular cable was much of a force. It was a time when you saw movies in the theater or, very likely, not at all. This particular matinee features an older... Read full review »
Better than sex, makes me cry more than onions
I watched The Sound of Music last night -- on NBC, unfortunately, which I don't get too well on my TV. I know, I'm a neanderthal; I should at the very least have cable, or a clear TV signal, if not Direct TV. Well I had cable for several years, and it exerted an evil force over me, compelling me to...

The Sound Of Music (dvd, 2000, 2-disc Set, Five Star Collection)
Shot in Salzburg against the majestic Bavarian Alps, THE SOUND OF MUSIC is considered one of the greatest screen musicals ever made. Winner of five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director (Robert Wise), the film, based on a real family and their true events, tells the story of a young postulate, Maria (Julie Andrews), who, after proving too high-spirited for the Mother Abess and other nuns, is sent off to work as a governess to seven unruly children. The Von Trapp family is run, in military style, by the seemingly cold-hearted Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer), a lonely widowed naval officer. Seeing how badly he and his children need companionship, he proposes to the Baroness Schraeder (Eleanor Parker), a calculating, mutual friend of beloved family friend Max Detweiler (Richard Haydn). It is the baroness who soon realizes that it's Maria--with her warmth and love for the children--the captain really loves. It is nearly bliss for the newly formed family who loves to sing together--excep

Quotes from the Movie |

|
"Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens...these are a few of my favorite things."--Maria (Julie Andrews), singing to the children "Do, a deer, a female deer. Ray, a drop of golden sun. Me, a name I call myself. Fa, a long, long way to run."--Maria and the children, learning to sing together "Edelweiss, Edelweiss, every morning you greet me. Soft and white, clean and bright, you look happy to meet me."--Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer), singing to the children (a song now used as the Austrian National Anthem) |
