I have seen The Sound of Music countless times but, when I found out that it would be screened as part of the TCM Big Screen Classics series, I just had to see it! I simply couldn't resist the chance to see such an iconic musical on the big screen! Oh, how I love this movie! I love every single thing about it and I waited with great anticipation for every one of those wonderful Rogers and Hammerstein songs: "The Sound of Music," "Maria," "I Have Confidence," "Sixteen Going on Seventeen," "My Favorite Things," "Do-Re-Mi," The Lonely Goatherd," "Edelweiss," "So Long, Farewell," "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," and "Something Good." Every single song is so instantly recognizable and I really had to try not to sing aloud (some people at my screening actually did sing along!). I love the "Do-Re-Mi" scenes and the wedding scene because they remind me of a trip I took to Salzburg (I actually sang "Do-Re-Mi" when I visited the Mirabell gardens) but my very favorite scene is when Maria and Captain von Trapp dance the Landler because it is so romantic! I think Christopher Plummer is so handsome in that scene. I had a smile on my face the whole time and I'm so glad I took advantage of seeing it as it was meant to be seen! If you love his movie as much as I do, you have another opportuity to see it on Wednesday (go here for information and tickets).
Note: I love this movie so much that it was disconcerting for me to see the Broadway touring company production because it is so different!
