The Sound of Music (Two-Disc 40th Anniversary Special Edition)

We love this movie. Such a classic. My kids love it too. They don't make musicals like this any more. This was a fun edition because it had the anniversary interviews with some of the actors. They're much older now but it was fun to see them back together again talking about the movie.

Beautifully remastered in audio and picture quality. Throw away your VHS tapes and enjoy the difference.

"The hills are alive with the sound of music..."
From the very first moments in the movie you can't help but be dazzled by the breathtaking scenery and the marvelous sound of the music as Julie Andrews rushes across the hills singing "The Sound of Music." It's no wonder it's a classic - as it well deserves to be! It's my all-time favorite movie! And, if I could, I would gladly give it 10 stars! This movie is definitely on "My Favorite Things" list!
Julie Andrews - what an incredible voice she had! - gives the performance of her career as Maria, a young, soon-to-be nun who becomes the govorness to Captain von Trapp's (Christopher Plummer) seven children.
For "Sound of Music" or musical fans, I highly recommend this 40th. Anniversary Edition DVD! They have alot of extra features - singalongs, commentaries, photo gallery, interviews with Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer and the actors who played the seven von Trapp children. They also have a biography on the real von Trapp family.

This is one of those musicals you can't watch without singing along with!

I was very pleased with this special 40th anniversary DVD of The Sound of Music, with many interesting bonus features, including the Hollywood Von Trapps 40 years later (except for marvelous Eleanor Parker and Richard Haydn, who are no longer with us). Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer are still glorious and distinguished, and their chemistry still exists in a 2005 interview, yet watching them in this movie assures that chemistry and their beauty as a couple forever in movie history. The DVD was most reasonably priced and in excellent condition. I still am confused with Amazon's checkout procedure and called them by phone to make sure I wasn't buying two of the same product, as I had two other times. Such a hassle to return. Luckily, that did not happen with this DVD; this is a special one indeed and a most welcome one to my collection.

Great music, great scenery, great story. Positive and ultra-uplifting. One of the best movies I've ever seen. The remastered quality is fantastic.
