Film Description

This film remains as thoroughly enjoyable as ever. Julie Andrew's gentle charisma adds great humour and sincerity to the picture. As its title suggests however, it is the score that remains timeless. Who could forget such gems as 'My Favourite Things', 'Do Re Mi', 'Edelweiss' and the haunting 'Climb Every Mountain'?

Review by RT on 5th October 2000

Despite its undeniable sentimentality, this still remains an enjoyable addition to the musical genre. Director Robert Wise successfully moves away from the stage origins of the piece, by opening out the story to incorporate much location footage of the beautiful Austrian mountains. Julie Andrews brings the role of Maria to life with ease. Her gentle charisma adds great humour and sincerity to the picture, and her romance with Captain Von Trapp, is touching despite the obvious opposites attract scenario. As its title suggests, however, it is the score that remains timeless. Who could forget such gems as ‘My Favourite Things’, ‘Do Re Mi’, ‘Edelweiss’ and the haunting ‘Climb Every Mountain’. A sugarcoated delight! RT.

Review by anonymous on 30th August 2000

Oscar winning, feel-good movie . Dismissed by many because of its popularity, and taken a little for granted due to its afterlife on television, but an immensely enjoyable, beautiful looking, and, when the family try to escape from the Nazis, very exciting piece of cinema.

Article - "A Brief History of Musicals on Screen" by Richard Armstrong
Friday 23rd November 2007

In 1927, a milestone in motion picture history emerged in the form of The Jazz Singer, a modest attempt by Al Jolson and Warner Bros. to interpolate sound and song into a mostly silent picture. The immortal line, 'Wait a minute, wait a minute. You ain't heard ...  View article in full
