The Sound of Music - Mom and a Matinee (a lapse into nostalgia)

bymillinocket Mar 6, 2005
107 Helpfuls 108 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Andrews, Plummer, family friendly, "Edelweiss" makes me cry
Cons Child actors, the "Goodnight Song" makes me cringe
Recommended it? Yes

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

107 Helpfuls 108 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Julie Andrews' voice, everything about Christopher Plummer
Cons It's only 4 hours long
Recommended it? Yes

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...

Pros Rodgers and Hammerstein's tunes, some of the Alpine exteriors
Cons The story, the too-cute kids, the contrived romantic plot
Recommended it? No

Michelle, a.k.a. chelledun is hosting the Nostalgia Write-Off in honor of her 200th review, and I just couldn't turn her invitation down! So, here is my third contribution.

One of the sad realities about growing older -- other than having to deal with life's disillusions and the many... Read full review »

Pros Brilliant use of locations. Julie Andrews. Christopher Plummer.
Cons Nuns, Nazis and singing children all in the same musical.
Recommended it? Yes

The production schedule for Goodfollies has been moved up and I am due in Europe for location shooting this next week. Most of the work will be done in the studio but they want an authentic flair for some of the fantastic musical dream sequences as my character works through her psychotherapeutic...

Pros Wonderfully entertaining. Julie Andrews at her best.
Cons Starting to be dated. You may have to explain Nazi's to young viewers.
Recommended it? Yes

Simplistic, predictable, overly dramatic and quite simply the best musical and one of the best movies ever made. It's supposed to be a little sappy. Of course the right girl marries the right man in the end. It wasn't even a close contest. Predictable? Well it's based on a rue story. Some... Read full review »

Corny as hell, but still a classic.

Pros Most of the songs, none of the kids.
Cons Some of the songs, all of the kids.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a review for The Sound of Music, voted by everyone over 70 as the greatest movie ever filmed and is it time for my blue pills yet? Julie Andrews is ultra-perky and sweet, especially in the scenes where she's forced to make out with the chauffeur and the cook.

I?m kidding. She's... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

I recently received my favorite musical, The Sound of Music as a gift, and I am absolutely enthralled when I received it! This 3 hour long musical is just absolutely breathtaking! The choreography, the music, the scenic shots, and the true storyline add that magical touch that we don't find in... Read full review »

A Saccharin Musical

Pros Ultimate family film, Natural acting by Julie Andrews, Effective acting by Christopher...
Cons Not for everyone -- can be unnaturally saccharin
Recommended it? Yes


It?s time to break out the sugar or at least the Sweet n? Low, and take another look at The Sound of Music. In the 1960?s my high school would always put on a musical, and Sound of Music was the only one I ever took part in. Granted, it was an extremely small part that consisted of only...

Pros fun music, interesting plot, good family movie
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes

I first watched "Sound of Music" when I was a young child. I loved it and proceeded to rent it everyday during the summer one year. I literally had every single line memorized.

The storyline is great and the music is great, also. It's fun to sing along with.

I will go into great... Read full review »

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
