"One of Hollywood's greatest masterpieces, based on the Broadway musical 'The Sound of Music'. The movie won five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director. This is a sweet, uplifting story that may have a corny or outdated feel, but it has captured the imagination of many generations and is a lesson in how to make a great musical."
