 "Movies Don't Get Any Better"Nov 16, 2009
After appearing as the lead in "Mary Poppins" Julie Andrews solidified herself in pop culture and the American consciousness as the nanny and Nun Maria in "The Sound of Music". Ask any film buff what one of their favorite films are and this one always comes near the top. Winning multiple Oscars including Best Picture of 1965 "The Sound of Music" is one of the best movie musicals of all-time. Featuring Canadian-born Christopher Plummer in the role of a naval commander who is the widowed father of seven children, the film is equally known for its beautiful soundtrack and memorable songs. Based on the stage play of the same name, "The Sound of Music" is one of those rare films that has grossed over a billion dollars since it debut at the boxoffice. This particular DVD set comes with a slew of bonuses including behind the scenes featurettes and a splendid audio commentary by Julie Andrews herself. You will enjoy the many multiple viewings you will have when buying this film. Simply, a film for the entire family.

 DVDNov 07, 2009
It never said that it was a wide screen format. I was looking for one that was not and so was surprised when I got it. I think it should note all details in the front. I did not want the trouble to send it back and so did not. I feel I was tricked.

Most BelovedSep 29, 2009
Probably the most beloved musical of all time. Love it! I used to want to be Louisa and wanted to marry the Captain...that would be bad though. And there's a line you can live your life by in it, "When the Lord closes a door, He always opens a window." That Maria is so wise.
