....(T)he film has earned its status as a perennially watchable romantic-drama, largely on
the strength of a fun story and chemistry between stars Julie Andrews and Christopher
Plummer. Veteran filmmaker Robert Wise (The Day the Earth Stood Still) mostly stays
out of the way of the film's appealing elements, which include a based-on-fact tale of
Austria's von Trapp family, who fled their Nazi-occupied country in 1938. Andrews is
delightful and even fascinating as Maria, who sheds her tomboyish ways as a novice nun to
accept the mantle of adulthood, becoming matron of the motherless von Trapp clan. Plummer
is matinee-idol handsome and gives a smart performance to boot, and the cast of young
people and kids who make up the singing von Trapp children make a strong impression. Based
on the Rodgers and Hammerstein stage musical, the score includes such winners as
"Maria" and the future John Coltrane hit "My Favorite Things." --Tom
