Movie Review ~ The Sound of Music 1965




The Sound of Music (1965)

The Sound of Music is a classic movie featuring the amazing voice and talent of Julie Andrews.  I don't have any clue how many times I have watched the story of a novitiate who is a square peg in a round hole until she is sent to act as governess to the von Trapp family and falls in love, gets married and escapes from the Nazis.  What is not to love about this movie?

Even if you've never watched it, I bet you sang the songs in music class in school.
