The Sound of Music - Julie Andrews Memorabilia!
This box-office champ of the '60s (ousting previous champ, 1939's "Gone With the Wind", and retaining the title until "The Godfather" in 1972), and the most successful musical of all time, brought families into theaters for repeat viewings. The trilling voice and wholesome appeal of Andrews and the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein are highlights of the romantic musical that follows a convent novitiate who becomes caretaker for a widowed Austrian captain's brood of seven children. Her good nature brings smiles to the children and eventually wins the heart of the stern Plummer. Guided by her musical talent, the whole bunch forms the Von Trapp Family Singers. They take the show on the road when Nazis threaten their idyllic life. The story greatly benefits from the charm of Andrews, who had just won an Oscar for "Mary Poppins". Much as he had done with "West Side Story" (1961), director Wise opened the visual possibilities of the musical with location shooting among Alpine vistas. Songs include: "Climb Every Mountain," "Something Good," "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?" "Sixteen, Going on Seventeen," "My Favorite Things," "Edelweiss." Academy Award Nominations: 10, including Best Actress: Julie Andrews.
