The Sound of Music is a 1965 American musical drama film produced and directed by Robert Wise,
and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher
Plummer, with Richard Haydn,
Peggy Wood, Charmian Carr, and Eleanor Parker. The
film is an adaptation of the 1959 stage musical,
composed by Richard Rodgers, with
lyrics by Oscar
Hammerstein II. The film's screenplay was
written by Ernest Lehman, adapted
from the stage musical's book by Lindsay and Crouse.
Based on the 1949 memoir The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp, the
film is about a young Austrian postulant who, in
1938, is sent to the villa of a retired naval officer and widower to be governess
to his seven children.
Filming took place from March to September
1964 in Los Angeles and Salzburg. The Sound of Music was released on March 2,
1965, in the United States, initially as a limited roadshow
theatrical release. Although initial critical
response to the film was mixed, it was a major commercial success, becoming the
number one box office film after four weeks, and the
highest-grossing film of 1965. By
November 1966, The Sound of Music had become the highest-grossing
film of all-time—surpassing Gone with the
Wind—and held that distinction for five years.
The film was just as popular throughout the world, breaking previous box-office
records in twenty-nine countries. Following an initial theatrical release that
lasted four and a half years, and two successful re-releases, the film sold 283
million admissions worldwide and earned a total worldwide gross of $286 million.
The Sound of Music received five Academy
Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director,
Wise's second pair of both awards, the first being from the 1961 film West Side
Story. The film also received two Golden Globe
Awards, for Best Motion Picture and Best Actress, the
Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement,
and the Writers
Guild of America Award for Best
Written American Musical. In 1998, the American Film
Institute(AFI) listed The Sound of Music as the fifty-fifth greatest American film of all time, and the fourth greatest film musical. In 2001, the United States Library of
Congress selected the film for preservation
in the National Film
Registry, finding it "culturally, historically,
or aesthetically significant".
Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somewhere in my wicked, miserable past
There must have been a moment of truth
For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth
Or childhood
I must have done something
Something good.
