Scenery, acting, music, those seven kids, Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer |

Runs a little long... |
| Bottom Line |
If it's been a while since you sang Do-Re-Mi and pranced through the streets of Salzburg, you should give it a new look. |

(12/01/2005, p.184, Peter Debruge): 4 stars out of 4 -- "[T]he collaboration takes on a serious edge, making it one of the precious few old-school musicals in which the action doesn't grind to a screeching halt every time a song starts."

Quotes from the Movie
"Rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens...these are a few of my favorite things."--Maria (Julie Andrews), singing to the children <br> <br> "Do, a deer, a female deer. Ray, a drop of golden sun. Me, a name I call myself. Fa, a long, long way to run."--Maria and the children, learning to sing together <br> <br> "Edelweiss, Edelweiss, every morning you greet me. Soft and white, clean and bright, you look happy to meet me."--Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer), singing to the children (a song now used as the Austrian National Anthem)
