One reason this film has endured is that it's family-friendly. It tells a compelling dramatic story without any of the sex, vulgar language, nudity, car chases and violence that pollute today's films as a general rule.

I absolutely agree with you and I also love all the songs, especially "Edelweiss" .

Agree👍👍👍👍

Claire Livefreeordie Still my number one favorite movie after 50 years

*Mary Poppin’s is n’t bad either missy* 💡

Hello Liesl,, the beautiful name, and i love too this movie so much. Wonderful movie ❤

Katie Lee --- You would not have been watching it at 3 years old, you would have no concept of the plot. Get a grip on reality.

@@Liofa73 You are just wrong. I was born in 1962, and was taken at 3 to see Mary Poppins, and at 4 to see The Sound of Music -- both of which enjoyed long theatrical releases. I fell in love with Julie Andrews. Yes, I was too young to understand the plots of both movies. But in an era when most people had small (by today's standards) black and white TV's with no surround sound, the sheer spectacle of both movies on wide screen in saturated Technicolor with now-classic upbeat (mostly) songs in high fidelity was stunning, mezmerizing. Went to my grandparents house at 4, and when I was told they didn't have the SoM album, I pitched a fit until they bought it (we had it at home). The impact of these two movies has stuck with me my whole life. I'm not ashamed to say that still, 50+ years later, when Julie Andrews spins around on that spectacular mountain top and launches that perfect voice into "The hills are alive...with the sound of music..." -- I lose it. Takes me back to that moment as a small child, when everything was happy and anything was possible. And that is not the only time during the movie when I well-up. So don't get online and tell someone their memories are not valid. People do remember major events at that young age.

+Liofa WHO do you believe you are to be accusing someone of lying about their precious memories of The Sound Of Music?!! I have adult children that have vivid memories of their lives when they were 3, because I WAS THERE and can testify that their memories are correct! You are pathetic!

Hi, I'm 49 . I share your appreciation . Beautiful times we grew up in. Where did it all go wrong . If I had one wish it would be to time travel back to our childhood period 1970s . This World has gone very very wrong ☹️

@@Liofa73 please show empathy and respect . Katie was sharing her joy and happiness .does it make you feel a better person to try and take that happiness away ?. I presume your in your early 20s . If anything my heart goes out to you guys as you have no idea what's coming for us all 😐😐

was it? not sure a world full of bigotry and dated values is better in any way. The simplicity maybe was better but let's not get confused...

Not anymore. The world in ending soon. The best era was 20th century, that was the modern time.

I would say if u took 1965 and get rid of the racism it would truly be beautiful💕

But not as handsome as Julie Andrews was beautiful.

Olivia Perrin Understatement of the century, both statements!! 😍

He still is handsome!

aallpp55 children likes seeing baby Ashley so cute

Show?

you prolly dont care but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies and series on Instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf lately :)

@Joseph Zayd yea, I have been watching on Instaflixxer for since december myself =)

youre on the right side of things.

Roger this comment; the other 5 miss them dearly, Kym in particular

It pains me that she lost her vocal cords because of a botched surgery! Her voice was a national treasure!

The Sound of Music..... The characters, the performers of each character, the songs, the location, the story, the love scenes and all the scenes in it.... everything made me cry while I was reading this material. In senior high then, It was then my grandmother who was telling the story after they came home from watching the film. ... .... And I heard my grandma saying When they were at stairs singing goodnight .... Oh the kids are wonderful..... That made me curious... as I thought the stairs they were talking about was all about the stairway to the heaven..then I took all my allowance for the week and straight I went in the Roman Super Cinerama in front of the university where I was enrolled, the Far Eastern University (FEU.). Now watching these reunion of the Sound... I just can't describe my feelings... It's just the tears in my eyes that flow down ... I'm now 74.... And I will never stop watching this film.. The part when the kids was getting Maria to get back to them.... That's touching me so much .... The love of Maria to the Captain ....

I also went with my Mom and sister. I was 18 and just started my first job and treated them. Still remember the price of each ticket - $3. Best $9 I ever spent!

And the elder adult cast who have died: Peggy Wood (Mother Abbess); Richard Haydn (Max Detweiler); Ben Wright (Herr Zeller); Anna Lee (Sister Margaretta); Portia Nelson (Sister Berthe); Eleanor Parker (Baroness). Crew losses include director Robert Wise, choreographer Marc Breaux, and conductor Irwin Kostal. Irwin is briefly visible at 3:19, on the soundstage behind Julie, his right arm raised high in the air.

No they do not.

So was Julie. Still is

DEPY K --- Stop shouting at me you complete idiot. Real values... What a lot of nonsense.

Real values...that's what we need in this world.

When they made this film, it was the end of an era...we'll never see another film like it

Hollywood today lacks real values

It's Liesl

Whit H --- Except it wasn't clean at that time, it's a movie set. The UK at the time was dirty as hell. The streets are cleaner now.

Ani Merci - Larri Thomas, who was also a stunt double for Julie in Mary Poppins. (When Mary initially flies down that is Larri, also dropping down from the smoke stack before Step in Time).

Do you know which scenes the double was used in?

Kay L - When the children are hanging from the trees, plus a distant shot in a carriage. I think she may have been used in a lot of setting up shots when they were testing lighting conditions rather than filmed on-screen.

Same here. One day we will be with her.

did you know her? did you work with her or just a friend?

@@MegaELECTRICEYE :-(

rizzamae gianan We have only 5 children so far baby.

The 'children' are now over 60 years old, Liesl and Louisa died, 2016 and 2017. Only Dame Julie Andrews, Mr. Plummer and the 5 remaining 'children' are alive. Everyone else died. I love this movie sooooo much, and I love dame Julie Andrews since I was 5 or 6 years old.
