The best musical ever made

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2006)

Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer star in this classic musical. Andrews plays a woman who wants to be a nun, but circumstances lead her to be a governess of a widower, Captain von Trapp (Plummer) and his seven children. The young children are very cute, but it's Andrew's performance that really got my attention. (Why didn't she get a Best Actress Award???????) Capt. von Trapp is a very stern man, and will not allow his children to have any fun of any kind. That is, until Maria shows up. They eventually fall in love, get married, and you just have to watch it again and again to really enjoy it. It's nearly three hours long, but it's worth every minute. I don't see how anyone with a brain could not like this movie. Watch it! You WON'T regret it!
