Plot: One of the most popular movie musicals of all time, The Sound of Music is based on the true story of the Trapp Family Singers. Julie Andrews stars as Maria, a young nun in an Austrian convent who regularly misses her morning prayers because she enjoys going to the hills to sing the title song. Deciding that Maria needs to learn something about the real world before she can take her vows, the Mother Superior (Peggy Wood) sends her off to be governess for the children of the widowed Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer). Arriving at the Trapp home, Maria discovers that her new boss is cold and aloof, and his seven children virtual automatons-at least, whenever the Captain is around. Otherwise, the kids are holy terrors, as evidenced by the fact that Maria is the latest in a long line of governesses. But Maria soon ingratiates herself with the children, especially oldest daughter Liesl (Charmian Carr), who is in love with teenaged messenger boy Rolf. As Maria herself begins to fall in love with the Captain, she rushes back to the Abbey so as not to complicate his impending marriage to a glamorous baroness (Eleanor Parker). But the children insist that Maria return, the Baroness steps out of the picture, and Maria and the Captain confirm their love in the song Something Good. Unhappily, they return home from their honeymoon shortly after the Nazis march into Austria. Already, swastikas have been hung on the Von Trapp ancestral home, and Liesl's boyfriend Rolf has been indoctrinated in the glories of the Third Reich. The biggest blow occurs when Von Trapp is called back to active duty in the service of the Fuhrer. The Captain wants nothing to do with Nazism, and he begins making plans to take himself and his family out of Austria. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

"Movies Don't Get Any Better"
Added 11/16/2009

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.

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 Beloved
Added 9/29/2009

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.
