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".

My dad used to sing this to me every night when I was a child. Just hearing or reading the word "edelweiss" brings back so many memories. I'm tearing up listening to this

Hey world, that’s my Dad dubbing the singing for Christopher Plummer! His name was Bill Lee and he also sang Younger Than Springtime for John Kerr in South Pacific. So proud of him!! ❤️❤️❤️

Eleanor Parker’s performance as the The Baroness is underrated. She’s very subtle, and makes what could have been a pantomime ‘wicked stepmother’ a surprisingly nuanced and interesting character.
It’s her reactions here that tell us that Maria is in love with the Captain, rather than anything Julie Andrews herself does.
Very clever.

I just realised - if Liesl was 16 here, and Gretl is 5, then their mother must have died when Liesl was 11... so she would have definitely remembered her father singing and being happy/nice to his children. It must have been horrible for her to suddenly have things change to the way they were at the beginning of the film. :( I just noticed that because of how happy Liesl seems at 1:12 to have her father back!

My grandma used the melody of this song and came up with different lyrics using my name as a lullaby to help me fall asleep when I was a newborn. Still remains my favorite lullaby to this day. This brought me to tears hearing it, as it reminds me of my grandma and she’s getting older and more forgetful.

My mother in her near last days, when we thought that her mind was gone, while hearing this music, for a few seconds was wide eyes oppen, and said, "what a beautiful music" she was 88, cancer and severe mind illness, but somehow this music did what medicine could not, for a space of time, even for a few moments, she was her old self.

God bless the authors of this lovely melody.
Regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

My dad just passed away. He used to sing this to me when I was a kid, to help me sleep. Very emotional for me.

The song is really about Maria.  She is Edelweiss - the sweet simple flower of the mountains that he loves - but he doesn't know it yet, nor does she.  The Baroness sees trouble coming though.  Love the cut to Maria right on the words "you look happy to meet me".    Brilliant film-making.

Takes me back to when I was 15 years old. My boyfriend and I were running in the rain, his eyeglasses fell off and I stepped on it. We have been married for 42 years ❤

this is a beautiful song. I don't know if its the way Christopher Plummer sings it or the lyrics but there is something very warm and soothing about this song. All of the songs in this movie are just extraordinary.
