Everyone in Austria has to make a choice when the Nazis arrive. The beau of Liesl, the captain's oldest daughter, becomes so committed to the Nazis that he's willing to betray the young woman he cared for. Even the nuns in the abbey must make a choice. It's worth discussing with older kids why this was such a tense time and why the Von Trapps made the painful decision to flee the country they loved.

If the film never plays again, it would make my day. John B Super Reviewer. Jun 15, One of the best musicals ever! Christian C Super Reviewer. Jan 06, Hey, I know it's a 'Classic' but this is one musical I find a little too sickly sweet for my tastes! The latter in particular brings home the anger and fear that the Nazis represent to him and Austria as a whole and when the film tackles this theme then it nicely counterbalances the 'Doh, a Dear' and 'My Favourite Things' moments.
The songs are all so well known now that you have to stop yourself from joining in but the most emotional moment for me is Plummer unable to continue with 'Eidelweiss' towards the end.
At almost 3 hours the film is way too long I could have done without all the nun scenes! David S Super Reviewer. Dec 15, So absolutely adorable, it may be stagy Cuz it's adapted from a stage production but Julie Andrews provided the film with the additional energy. It's both fuzzy and hilarious at the same time, a must watch for the musical fans. Sylvester K Super Reviewer. See all Audience reviews.
