The Sound of Music in 70mm
If you’ve never seen The Sound of Music in 70mm, then you’ve never really seen it at all.
Director Robert Wise’s film version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein Broadway hit is simply one of the most beloved movies of all time, musical or otherwise. It offers a heavily fictionalized account of the real-life von Trapp family, a musically gifted Austrian brood whose lives are irrevocably altered when a young postulant from the local abbey comes to serve as governess to the seven von Trapp children.
Immediately finding herself at odds with the widower patriarch Captain von Trapp (Christopher Plummer) and his penchant for military-style discipline, the willful Maria (Julie Andrews) soon fills the air with do-rei-me cheer, before the Nazis annex Austria and everyone runs for the hills. (Climb every mountain, indeed!) Nominated for 10 Academy Awards and winner of five (including Best Picture, Director, and Editing).
