Rating:
9 out of 10, I finally got around to buying this movie, mostly because I visited
Salzburg, Austria last year and was reminded of the many landmarks that were
featured the movie. When you consider Julie Andrews did this right after Mary
Poppins you can understand why she was launched on her career. She’s perfect as
the would-be nun who finds love and family with seven kids and a baron, singing
all the way. There are so many moments that have become iconic in film history
that I found myself almost surprised to see them all in one movie. The visit to
Salzburg turned out to be a distraction as I knew some of the walking scenes
were impossible as they went from one side of the city to another in a blink but
it was still a bunch of harmless fun and Andrews at her very young peak is something
to behold. Heart. Family.
MVP: Ms. Andrews as the iconic Maria von Trapp
