    ABOUT THE SOUND OF MUSIC
    Produced and directed by Robert Wise, and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, with Richard Haydn and Eleanor Parker. The film is an adaptation of the 1959 Broadway musical of the same name, composed by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. The film's screenplay was written by Ernest Lehman, adapted from the stage musical's book by Lindsay and Crouse. Based on the memoir The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp, the film is about a young Austrian woman studying to become a nun in Salzburg in 1938 who is sent to the villa of a retired naval officer and widower to be governess to his seven children. After bringing and teaching love and music into the lives of the family through kindness and patience, she marries the officer and together with the children they find a way to survive the loss of their homeland through courage and faith.
    The film was released on March 2, 1965 in the United States, initially as a limited roadshow theatrical release. Although critical response to the film was widely mixed, the film was a major commercial success, becoming the number one box office movie after four weeks, and the highest-grossing film of 1965. By November 1966, The Sound of Music had become the highest-grossing film of all-time-surpassing Gone with the Wind-and held that distinction for five years. The film was just as popular throughout the world, breaking previous box-office records in twenty-nine countries. Following an initial theatrical release that lasted four and a half years, and two successful re-releases, the film sold 283 million admissions worldwide and earned a total worldwide gross of $286,000,000.
    The Sound of Music received five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. The film also received two Golden Globe Awards, for Best Motion Picture and Best Actress, the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement, and the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Written American Musical. In 1998, the American Film Institute (AFI) listed The Sound of Music as the fifty-fifth greatest American movie of all time, and the fourth greatest movie musical. In 2001, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
    ABOUT RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN
    After long and highly distinguished careers with other collaborators, Richard Rodgers (Composer, 1902-1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (Librettist/Lyricist, 1895-1960) joined forces in 1943 to create the most successful partnership in American musical theater. Prior to joining forces, Rodgers collaborated with lyricist Lorenz Hart on musical comedies that epitomized wit and sophistication (Pal Joey, On Your Toes, Babes In Arms and more), while Hammerstein brought new life to operetta and created the classic Show Boat with Jerome Kern. Oklahoma!, the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, introduced an integrated form that became known as “the musical play.” Their shows that followed included Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music. Collectively, the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals have earned Tony, Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer, and Olivier Awards. The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization is a Concord Company, www.concord.com.

Her singing is among the very best in all the musicals. I think this may be the only movie musical that she was ever credited for. Marni passed at 86 last month. Thanks for all the beautiful music Marni.

    Beautiful. They're not saying anything is wrong with her. Maria is just Maria. These lyrics are helping me grieve my beloved cat who died two weeks ago. "How do you keep a wave upon the sand?" "How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?" He was my moonbeam. Even more so because he was hard to reel in but when he did snuggle up it was special

      The world has become too jaded and cynical for the the Sound of Music to be remade or be successful in 2022. But I think that people are starved today for this type of old fashioned filmmaking or entertainment which no one seems to be providing anymore. That is why I think that the Sound of Music from 1965 is still such a beloved and cherished film today. Plus director Robert Wise knew what he was doing since he also directed West Side Story in 1961.

    She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee, her dress has got a tear
    She waltzes on her way to Mass and whistles on the stair
    And underneath her wimple she has curlers in her hair
    I even heard her singing in the abbey
    She's always late for chapel, but her penitence is real
    She's always late for everything, except for every meal
    I hate to have to say it, but I very firmly feel
    Maria's not an asset to the abbey
    I'd like to say a word in her behalf (It say it, sister Margarita)
    Maria makes me laugh
    How do you solve a problem like Maria?
    How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
    How do you find the word that means Maria?
    A flibbertijibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!
    Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
    Many a thing she ought to understand
    But how do you make her stay and listen to all you say
    How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
    Oh, how do you solve a problem like Maria?
    How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?

    0:06 that nun is Marni Nixon who provided the singing voice of Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady, Natalie Wood in West Side Story and Deborah Kerr in The King and I. The producers were nervous about how Julie Andrews would react to Nixon’s presence due to the then-unknown Andrews being passed over for My Fair Lady in favor of well-known star Audrey Hepburn, despite her originating the role of Eliza Doolittle on stage. When Andrews first met Nixon on set of The Sound of Music, she said to her, “Marni, I’m a fan of you!” and the producers were relieved.

    • @devydu
      @devydu 3 года назад +1

      If Julie Andrews had been given the film role as Eliza in "My Fair Lady", then they would have not needed Marni Nixon to dub for Audrey Hepburn, who was so disappointed when her singing voice was not used. But Julie got her revenge when she won "Best Actress" Oscar award for her performance & singing in her first film "Mary Poppins" and her former Broadway co-star, Rex Harrison, won "Best Actor" for "My Fair Lady".

      I always thought the Reverend Mother's shaking her head in the next shot was a silent way of saying, "Wait, that's what you're doing right now." At least until that's what she starts doing a few moments later.

    One of my favorite movies! The nun who opens the song with “She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee” was singer Portia Nelson who was a distant relative of my grandmother’s. She had a beautiful voice when she was younger and used to sing in nightclubs. Obviously I never knew her but knew the relationship. I’m from a family of musicians and this was one of my favorite musicals.

    There’s always a Maria in each of us, subject of ridicule and often treated as a laughing stock. What they don’t understand behind that every smile is a pain that seems to lasts forever. So for me, just carry on with life. Love and respect is crucial for everyday survival.

    It's wonderful to see a mention of "The Sound of Music"! That movie, with its timeless music and heartwarming story, has such a special place in so many people's hearts. Maria's character, in particular, brings so much joy and inspiration. Her journey from a free-spirited young woman to finding her place in the world, while touching the lives of those around her, is a beautiful portrayal of growth and love. It's always a joy to revisit such classic films that continue to resonate with audiences across generations. Do you have a favorite moment or song from the movie? 🎶🏔✨
