Has to be one of my favourite musicals I have watched! The grandness and beauty of the scenery and the shots mixed with the happiness and love of the music and the contrasted by the dire and almost terrifying final 40 minutes made for a fantastic movie! I recognized a lot of the songs as well which made it even more fun!
The song Do Re Mi in the movie is original to the movie/musical. However, using do re mi etc for the notes in an octave goes back to medieval music, rooted in Gregorian Chant.
Angela Cartwright (Brigitta) was the only one of the children who was well-known before this movie came out. She played the daughter of Danny Thomas (actor, producer, singer, comedian, and founder of St. Jude’s Children's Hospital) in his long-running TV show as well as making guest appearances in many other TV shows of the era. She also played one of the daughters in the TV show 'Lost in Space' which came out right after this movie.
Your reaction is so sweet. I like how enthusiastically you react to it. Btw, Julie Andrews, who played Maria, also played Mary Poppins.
The 'book' is the story script of a musical without the songs, not a separate novel in of itself. So Linday and Crouse wrote the story and spoken word and Rogers and Hammerstein did the music and songs, but they're all writers of the show.
I know this movie came out in the 60s, but it's weird to think about that this movie only came out 20 years after WWII ended. 1965 was closer to WWII than current day is to 9/11
Oliver! is one of my favorite musicals. Based on Oliver Twist it has some great songs some of which you're sure to recognize. And Oliver Reed as Bill Sykes is there to add some tension and real menace to the story.
i grew up on this movie. though i'm a 90s baby, i was brought up on classics like this - sound of music, my fair lady, chitty-chitty bang bang (also one i feel you'd enjoy). they always hold such special spots on my heart.
This was a huge deal for my family when it was released. My parents packed me and my 4 siblings into our station wagon and drove 2 hours to see it. Later on, once it made it's way to the local drive-in, we watched it again and even later my mom bought the soundtrack and it was drilled into our heads..
All the songs in the movie are original to The Sound of Music, including the unaccompanied choral music we hear the nuns sing. Three songs from the stage musical were cut for the movie, and two new ones added -- Maria's "confidence" song on the way to the Von Trapp house, and the duet they sing after they get engaged.
Julie Andrews is a treasure! You should react to Mary Poppins. Same actress.

Fun fact, in the boat scene Julia was supposed to catch the young girl since she didn't swim but she fell out backwards by mistake not once but twice and the girl had to be rescued by one of the others, lol.
Really enjoying your reactions! I dunno how old you are, but it's great to see such a young guy without any complex at all about watching a huge variety of totally different kinds of films... as opposed to many young people (myself included back in the day) who just turn their nose up at anything that doesn't seem "cool" right now.
I am a 63 year old young Boomer. This is the first movie I ever remember seeing in a theater. My Mom cried several times and I didn't understand. I now cry in the same places every time.
I used to hate watching this movie every year with my mom...but now that she has passed I can truly appreciate this movie classic and see what she saw so ty
Kurt's high notes were actually sung by Charmion Carr's sister. Their uncle was Robert Farnon, a Canadian composer.
It’s one of the best musicals, especially during the Holiday seasons 🙂
Welcome to the songs of Rogers and Hammerstein. The team that wrote the songs for several musicals of the time. I miss their simplicity and 'easyness' of being able to sing along. They are terribly missed.
