SOUND OF MUSIC, THE
Set in 1930s Austria, THE SOUND OF MUSIC — one of the most successful and best-loved movies in motion picture history — tells the story of Maria (Julie Andrews), a young novitiate who leaves her convent to work as a governess to a large family while she decides whether to become a nun. Ernest Lehman's screenplay made crucial changes to Rodgers and Hammerstein's Broadway production, including having Maria sing "My Favorite Things" to the von Trapp children (instead of the Mother Abbess singing it to Maria), while director Robert Wise and associate producer Saul Chaplin thrillingly transplanted the performance of "Do-Re-Mi" from indoors to all over Salzburg. Five wins among 10 Oscar® nominations, including Best Picture and Director for Wise. DIR/PROD Robert Wise; SCR Ernest Lehman, from the musical by Howard Lindsay, Russel Crouse, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II. U.S., 1965, color, 189 min. including 15-min. intermission.
