Smooth rental and a wonderful classic movie

The Amazon movie rental worked well with no issues. The picture and sound quality were good, and the rental process was easy and straightforward.As for *The Sound of Music*, it is a classic for a reason. The music is beautiful, the scenery is gorgeous, and the story has a warm, timeless quality that still holds up. The performances are memorable, and the songs are the kind that stay with you long after the movie is over.Overall, this was an enjoyable movie rental and a wonderful film to watch again. It is uplifting, beautifully made, and still a great choice for family viewing or a nostalgic r

For the children, there is nothing better.

I love this movie. My sister went to see this on a class trip in the 1960's, I hink 1965 when it came to the theater. She loved it and when it finally came to television it was a classic from the start. Julie Andrews is the living proof that she is and will always be among the greatest of all.

The definitive release of "Sound of Music"

Taken from review By Dennis A. Amith (kndy)VIDEO:"The Sound of Music: 45th Anniversary Edition" is presented in 1080p High Definition (Widescreen 2:20:1), AVC@22 MBPS. This is where "The Sound of Music: 45th Anniversary Edition" literally looks amazing. For those who have owned previous versions of the film on DVD, back in 2005, the film went through restoration using a backup negative of the original 70 mm print. At the time, the original 70mm 6-Track print was so damaged, there was no way to even use the original negative at that time and most of us who watched the 40th Anniversary Edition f

The spectacular creation of The Sound of Music!!!

Just wonderful!!! Absolutely wonderful!!! For the timeframe of when I remember this enchanting musical, I cannot think of anything better to bring you back to when this movie was first released. How it went from a film that would be considered overbudget and a risk to one of the most beloved of all time!!Everyone pretty much knows the screen adaptation of the life of Maria Augusta Von Trapp, who went from a postulate with a true desire to give her life in service to God, to becoming the mother of 7 children plus 3 more of her own.But without taking away from any of the beauty and majesty of th

Sound of Music

Not only is it based on a true story it is one of the best musical movies they’re created. It’s about a nun that can’t seem like she fits in and they send her to a home to be a governess and she brings life back into that home since they’re mothers passing. Don’t want to say too much just go and watch it. Great family movie/ a good story.

This movie is an absolute classic the transfer & 1080p is absolutely perfect and the sound is flawless

first off let me say that this is the Blu-ray that I bought not the DVD Amazon has a nasty habit of letting people review movies that are watching them on VHS or even on their video streaming service almost never can tell which format they're reviewing I bought the Blu-ray the price was certainly right or this classic this is the first time it's been affordable. Okay The first time I saw this movie was on a one of the largest screens in the country I live in Houston it was at a place called The Windsor Cinerama the way ahead of its time I saw 2001 there's as well and it was quite an experience

A Timeless Treasure Beautifully Performed and Packaged

This musical is a total joy to watch; I would not even try to count the number of times I've seen it but it always remains beautiful and lovely to watch and hear. This particular version is well planned and presented and seems to nicely capture the special nature of the 45th Anniversary of this fine work.It will need a special place on your shelf as it is not intended to simply fit in with all of your other discs; it is, however, worthy of the honor as it is beautifully executed and includes all of the special extras that come with the Blu-ray disc that make it truly a collectors choice.First

Sound of Music DVD review and thoughts!

So I got the DVD of the movie "The Sound of Music" which is the 50th anniversary edition, I honestly love Julie Andrews singing in the film. Oh and Christopher Plummer, the late actor, he was very amazing in the film.I love the musical moments of the film and the songs they bring back a lot of memories for me, So I recommend you watch the movie for yourself, and own the movie either on DVD or Blu-ray.
