One Of My Absolute Favorite Movies Of All Time!!

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2010)

I realize that it doesn't completely and entirely follow the true story. I realize that Maria did not completely approve of this film. I realize that there is a lot of 'sugar' in this film, however, it remains to be one of my all time favorites. Unlike so many movies these days, this movie is filled with joy and happiness. My Mother took my 5 siblings and I too see this when it was re-released into theaters years after it came out in 1965(they used to do that with the bigger movies - before the days of VHS and DVDs). When we left the theater and walked home that evening, we talked about the movie the whoooole way, and sung the songs in it. It made such a wonderful & powerful impact on us, and to this day it is a family favorite.
