The hills are truly alive with this classic for all ages.

Rating: Null/10 (24 April 2000)

This is one film that everyone should see. It's a colorful musical, a beautiful love story, and, above all, a testimony in support of standing up for your convictions and to the ability of music to move the soul and change lives. Julie Andrews is at her best, both as an actress and a singer. To think that if she had gotten the lead in My Fair Lady, like she deserved, she probably would have never played Maria! Christopher Plummer is wonderful as the stern, but big-hearted Captain von Trapp. There's no one I love to hate more than Eleanor Parker's scheming, snobbish Baroness. Plus, the talent of Mother Abbess and all the children never fail to amaze me: "Climb Every Mountain" gives me goose bumps and I always love watching the children perform "Do-re-mi". Finally, the two main Sisters and their "sin" brings a clever touch of humor to a serious scene. All in all, this film has rightly become a cherished part of American cinema. A true feel-good movie that no household should be without.
