A truly Great film

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2004)

I don't think this film is given enough credit. It is simply delightful. It's a romantic, heart-warming, feel-good movie. And what's more it's based on a true story. People will laugh at it, and perhaps mock it. Perhaps they are afraid or they simply do not understand it's greatness. But what you have to recognise is that the film IS a musical and so you have to expect the songs. They are after all well-written, and have good melodies. Also, i must mention the impeccable acting from both the children and Maria/Captain Von Trapp etc. Although the film is a little outdated in some aspects (the teenage boys on maria's bed for example), you cannot help but love this film.
