Ageless and Pure

Rating: 8/10 (28 June 2011)

I must admit to knowing the words of the songs before seeing the entire movie as a child. What a magical movie to watch as a child, and even more rewarding with your own children.
You somehow get lost in the family and contradictions of war, song, lyrics and love. It flows like a musical at times, cutting from song to song, but manages to involve all the characters over time, and in great depth. Wonderful score and priceless performances. You can't take away any of the elements, and although I'm not sure how you could put them together again for another era?
Julie Andrews was magnificent and for my daughter it has stuck with her for years. A must see for families and a beautiful introduction to movies made in that era.
