1965 Best Picture Winner
Premiered March 2, 1965
Budget $8.2 Million
Gross $163 Million
We are discovering that the sixties were an up and down decade in terms of film. It is refreshing to have two top notch movies in a row.
The Sound Of Music is as close to a "perfect movie" as we have come so far. The film is fantastic from the opening camera shots from the air, to the music, to the acting, to the story up until the suspense filled climax. We were both very familiar with this movie but it adds to impact of the movie to watch it in the context of its Best Picture predecessors.
Joel
Favorite: The end is suspenseful and compelling. I knew the ending but I will still nervous that the Nazis would find them.
Least Favorite: My only beef with the movie is the fact that Maria and Liesl appear to be the same age. Charmian Carr was 23 and Julie Andrews was 30 but their makeup made them both appear to be 25.
Callie
Favorite: I've seen this movie before and I loved it this time. It is timeless and purely enjoyable all around.
Least Favorite: Sometimes the way that Capt. Von Trapp says his lines is annoying.
