The Hills are alive
This musical details the life of a novice nun named Maria. There are people in the Nonburg Abbey in Salzburg that do not like her so the Reverend Mother sends her to take care of the seven children of a Widower Captain Georg Von Trapp.

When Maria gets to the house of the Von Trapp she and Georg do not get along. However soon Georg can tell that she and the children really care for eachother and he starts falling in love with her, and eventually she falls in love with him. Only there is one problem Georg's fience Else. Else however knows that Georg is in love with Maria, and when confronted with this news Maria leaves for the abbey.

The children miss Maria and after a short period of time Maria comes back and she and Georg are married. Unfortunitly once they get back from their honeymoon they are confronted by the Nazis and that night after singing in the Salzburg film festival they excape Austria climbing into the Alps to America.

While not the factual story of the Von Trapps-it is a very good movie with great songs that stay with you for a long time!

My Favorite Things
I've always loved this film. I remember watching it at Christmas time every year since I was a little kid. You would think I would get sick of it. Far from it. The scenery, the settings, the charaters, but most of all the MUSIC. Watch this and you'll be humming certain songs for days. The casting here is spot-on. Julie Andrews will forevermore be remembered as Maria, the troublesome nun who attempts to be a nanny to seven children. Christopher Plummer is great as Captain VonTrapp, the aristocratic ex-navy captain, who rediscovers the importance of music and love in life. The children are wonderful. Each of them does just the right job with their roles, and of course they sing beautifully. The cinematography is beautiful here, as the background setting of Austria is so vividly captured on film. This film transferred beautifully to DVD, with wonderful clarity and sharpness, and the film has never sounded better. I've reviewed many classic films, and I've enjoyed them all, but this one has a special place in my heart. Get this for your collection, it's truly worth it.

[Three and a half out of four stars]. Julie Andrews and Chris Plummer, A Canadian's best
Proves a very good point in the suttlest
of ways. No, not all Austrians welcomed
the NUTZIs! Good roles and beleivable enough
in a classic Disney way. Walt is break dan-
cing in his grave over what that queer Eis-n
er has 'Done to the Mouse' since. God love,
Walt, you were a great American! Fine film
for whole family. A Classic.
