One of my favourites

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2007)

I first saw this movie about 15 years ago and have loved it since. My favourite songs are 'The Sound Of Music', 'Sixteen Going On Seventeen', 'Do-Re-Mi' and 'Something Good'. Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer were perfect as Maria and Captain Von Trapp. Eleanor Parker, Daniel Truhitte, Peggy Wood, Ben Wright and Richard Haydn were great supporting cast. This has to be one of Robert Wise's greatest films. I remember watching a documentary where Heather Menzies (Louisa), Charmian Carr (Liesl), Duane Chase (Kurt), Nicholas Hammond (Friedrich), Kym Karath (Gretl), Angela Cartwright (Brigitta) and Debbie Turner (Marta) returned to Austria 35 years after the film was released. The funniest scene in the movie was when Maria sat on the pine cone.
