Product ReviewsThe Sound of Music (DVD, 2005, 2-Disc Set, 40th Anniversary Edition)

Should Be Staple for Everyone's DVD Collection

Great classic movie!! This is the kind of entertainment we need more than ever,especially these days. There is too much violence and open display of over the top adult topics in movies and shows, available for viewing in current times. This movie handles adult topics, but keeps it low key enough that you can watch with entire family. The kids love the very catchy music that will have them singing and humming the songs for days after watching. The bonus disc is great too. If you are interested in facts about the making of the movie and extra trivia about it. Read full review...

Sound of Music WOULD be wonderful if it played

This disc 1 would not play properly. Voices dropped out. Picture froze. And some scenes from the original never showed up. Disc 2 played, but it was just additional features. Nice, but not what I was after.Read full review...

Fantastic Musical DVD

What a great 2 disc DVD of the Sound of Music. It brings together all the actors & actresses, interviews them, and tells how scenes were filmed! So fantastic!

Great Story

Actually saw this movie in 1965 at the Michael Todd Theater in Chicago. It was a great movie then and still is. Now I have it in my DVD collection. I'm humming the music just like I did back then. Everyone should view this movie at least once. Such talented actors and the music is wonderful. It was filmed at a time when "blood and guts scenes" were not always needed to entertain.Read full review...

Somebody please SHOOT ME!!!

This is the most HORRENDOUS piece of cinematic garbage I have ever been forced to lay eyes upon. It doesn't matter what format it's on. Whether it be DVD, VHS, Blue Ray Disc or telepathic implant, this movie still makes me want to blow chunks! I first saw this god-awful celluloid atrocity when I was seven. It was movie night. So, we all went out to the movies! I kept hearing from the adults all about "how wonderful this movie was" and "how I will enjoy this musical". When the opening scene comes on the screen, and we all see the beautiful mountains and lush green plains of Salzburg, Austria...and Julie Andrews opens with the verse, "The hills are alive with the Sound of Music", a lead weight just fell to the pit of my stomach. I knew at that moment, that this movie was going to SUCK LIKE A HOOVER UPRIGHT!!! And I wasn't wrong either. It was just awful. And there was no escape either. Because, when I was seven, it was 1973. VCR's didn't exist yet. And if they did, we couldn't afford them. There was no remote to simply SHUT IT OFF! I had to sit there for three nauseating hours! I thought when the Nazis arrived, they might liven things up. Nope! Didn't help! They were goose stepping to a cheezy musical number! Honestly though, "if "Oklahoma" and "South Pacific" are anything like "The Sound of Music", Rodgers & Hammerstein have done more to kill theater than John Wilkes Booth!Read full review...

Still a classic!

Perfect for “stay at home” time with my 86 y:o mom and 87 y/on dad. The anniversary set of additional footage and guest appearances was awesome!

I love it!

It has always been a five star movie. I had it in the VHS form for years. Having it on the DVD form and watching it on my large computer screen makes it much better. The second disk makes it even better.

Hope in time of War.

It has always been a favorite of mine and it continues to be a favorite. Stupendous scenery, model accompaniment, and a real classic movie that will last forever.
