About this product

Product Information

When the film version of the 1959 Broadway musical The Sound of Music, the final collaboration between Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, opened in March 1965, it became the highest grossing movie in history up to that time and went on to win the Academy award for best picture. The accompanying soundtrack did not do as well, probably because many households already possessed copies of the massively successful original Broadway cast album. But it did manage to hit number one and spend four-and-a-half years on the charts. (As of 2000, RCA was claiming North American sales of 11 million copies, though the album had never been certified beyond the gold level.) It was a very different recording from the Broadway LP. The main difference, of course, was the substitution of Julie Andrews for Mary Martin in the starring role of Maria, the postulant who leaves an Austrian convent to marry a wealthy naval captain with seven children. Martin, at whose behest the show was written, was a 45-year-old Broadway veteran when she started to play Maria, a real person who had been 21 when the events depicted in the show began. Martin relied on her considerable charm to mask the age difference. But she had displayed little interest in film during her career, and could hardly have been cast in the movie version after the age of 50 in any case. Andrews, though also a Broadway veteran, having starred in My Fair Lady (and, ironically, been passed over for the film version) among other shows, was only in her late 20s. Fresh from her Academy award-winning appearance in the title role of Mary Poppins, she was well-placed to play another children's nanny and proved to be superb in the film as well as on the soundtrack album (though performances gauged for the screen sometimes came off as overly exuberant on record, particularly "Do-Re-Mi"). Irwin Kostal's arrangements were much more ornate than those of Robert Russell Bennett for the Broadway show. The film version eliminated songs as "How Can Love Survive?" and "No Way to Stop It" that had been performed by supporting characters; also, the duet "An Ordinary Couple" was gone, replaced by "Something Good." (Hammerstein had died, and Rodgers supplied his own lyrics to this new song and to "I Have Confidence," which Andrews put across winningly.) Popular as the film may have been, the soundtrack album was worth owning primarily because of Julie Andrews, and the original Broadway cast album remained definitive. Since no edition of the album accurately credits the singers, it should be noted that Bill Lee's singing voice has been dubbed in for Christopher Plummer, who plays the romantic lead Captain von Trapp, and that it is Margery McKay who is singing, not the screen actress Peggy Wood, as Mother Abbess on "Climb Ev'ry Mountain." ~ William Ruhlmann

Shipped and arrived really fast but Item was damaged in a way the seller would not know, package was sealed and the robe was folded, the bag for the belt was sealed but the robe was ripped around the hood and the seam in the back, seller sent a partial refund and it’s easy enough to just fix, good communication and experience all around, would recommend 10/10

    A very favorite thing!

    What a wonderful idea for someone who loves this very special musical, The Sound of Music. It has everything you'd want including a music box that plays "my favorite things," special edition DVD, soundtrack, photos and a book about the movie and the real Von Trapp family. is my sister's favorite musical and I bought it for her as a Christmas gift. I can hardly wait to see her face when she unwraps the beautiful presentation box that contains all of these goodies! I was very impressed and would recommend it to anyone whoe is fond of The Sound of Music.

  • A beautiful DVD remake of a Classic movie. Highly Recommend

    A fantastic gift set for someone or just for yourself. The reprint from the original record album is a great part of this collection. When viewing the movie you really appreciate the outside views/scenes as they are clear and picturesque. My VHS was wearing out and never had the quality of this blu-ray quality. I highly recommend this disc set. The Sound of Music was just recently redone with Carrie Underwood as Maria. Although there were pluses and the show seemed to mirror the Broadway version, one still appreciates the original movie and there will never be another Julie Andrews or Eleanor Parker (the Baroness). Truly a forever Classic!

  • CLASSIC NEVER OUT OF TIME

    EXCELLENT MOVIE ONE OF THE BEST CLASSICS. GOING TO SALZBURG IN DECEMBER 2017. CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE THE REAL LOCATION.

  • The hills have never been more alive!

    As a child I can remember watching Maria come from across the hill twirling around and I was transported right into the story from start to finish. She won my heart long before she ended up winning over the kids.. Now as an adult, my daughter and I enjoy it together. Filmed in the breathtaking Salzburg Germany, The Sound of Music gives you a feeling throughout the film that you can do anything you put your mind to. It is beautifully translated to the blue ray format and the hills have never been more alive..
