Edelweiss..great sing along songs. Das ist gut.

Rating: 8/10 (2 September 2018)

Film adaptation of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical featuring great photography of Salzburg, Austria. A country that was annexed by Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
Featuring fantastic sing along songs that even for a more horror film fan like me I found enjoyable.
Julie Andrews plays the lead role as a nun turned governess (nanny) Maria to an authoritarian family, the Von Trapp's with Christopher Plummer as it's head, widower naval Captain Von Trapp. A proud Austrian who despises the new Nazi regime.
Now despite the charming music how can someone live their lives to the musical melodies like in The Sound Of Music?
Director Robert Wise does an admirable job in bringing together excellent photography, music and storyline.
A film that shows the full brilliance of the Austrian mountains.
