Worst Rodgers & Hammerstein Musical

Rating: 3/10 (29 March 1999)

I have to think that the people who rave about this movie have not seen the bulk of the MGM musicals. If you want to see great musicals, see State Fair, South Pacific, or Oklahoma, for starters. Except for Christopher Plummer, the acting in Sound of Music is awful. The movie weighs in at almost 3 hours and you'll feel every minute. The movie is so long the songs have to all be sung several times, which is not a good thing. Overblown, overhyped, overlong.
