It is pure cheese, the guides do quizzes and everything. Its great fun. Salzburg is stunning as well. Everywhere you look it's Mozart or nuns!

SIgn me up for the trip and DD, we love SoM. I'll be the one dressed as a nun.

Its a very impressive film of its kind I seem to remember that played for a whole year at a cinema in London. I saw it with the lady whobecame my wife many years later...Cry if you feel like crying. Laugh when your tears have dried. (its almost poetry) HNY "Gabby"

It played for years in Birmingham. I used to go every year on my birthday. Later I lived in London and went every week on my day off.

I walked up the aisle to this when I got married.

It's the moment they're doing the folk dance outside the ball and it goes all misty and she realises she's in lurve that gets me every time. It's a great great film.

Christopher Plummer hated it though - called it The Sound of Mucus.

I went to a SingalongaSoundofMusic once. It was great - the costumes were amazing. There really was someone as a brown paper package tied up with string and assorted wild geese etc.

Here come the Nazis...

Been blubbing right from the start! One of my fave films ever.Kids walked out of room in disgust(8 year with cry of "this is garbage!"-philistines!).

When I went to SingAlong three people went all joined together as the hills are alive...

Why did he rip the nazi flag up? Maria could have made an attractive playsuit from it...perhaps not Grin

I played Marta (the second littlest one) in a production of the Sound of Music when I was 7. I was gutted when that was over and I had to give my sailor suit back, the curtains one, not so much.
