The Red Barn Theater’s classic film series continues July 31 with “The Sound of Music," the hugely popular 1965 musical epic that won five Oscars and guaranteed Julie Andrews her place as the genre's top ingenue. Based on the Broadway play by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II the won Best Picture honors and topped "Gone with the Wind" as the most lucrative picture in history.
Andrews is Maria a role played on Broadway by Mary Martin. Christopher Plummer is Captain Von Trapp, widower with seven children who weds Maria, and Eleanor Parker is the Baroness, who has her own eyes on the Captain.
The picture is nearly three hours long, but the magnificent scenery and show-stopping hits make viewing a pleasure. "Do-Re-Mi," "Climb Every Mountain," "Sixteen Going on Seventeen," and even "The Lonely Goatherd" make this a perfect event for families.
At least half of the show's songs became hits, some several times as jazz musicians such as John Coltrane ("My Favorite Things") recorded individual tunes as well as entire albums (Stan Getz)
