Review of The Sound of Music (1965) by Dawdlingpoet — 27 Nov 2021
This is a reasonably fun musical. Its well known for being a classic and certainly I was aware of most of the songs, from mentions/references on TV shows and the like. I quite liked the cinematography towards the start and its a fairly pleasant watch I suppose but I did feel it went on a bit too long and I also felt unconvinced by how long it took into the plot for the obvious Nazi Germany issue to be brought up, given its set in late 1930s Austria.
The songs are relatively catchy I suppose but it was a bit too 'chocolate box soppy' for my personal preference. Its a light and somewhat enjoyable watch, which I can understand why some people may really like but its no more than an ok watch for me personally, hence my rating.
I would only recommend it if your interested in it as a historical/musical period drama watch.
