Reader Reviews
The Sound Of Music was the first film I ever saw in a movie theatre (I was four) and it remains one of my all-time favorite movies. This book is everything I could want in a "behind the scenes" look at a classic film. Besides the remembrances of all of the cast members - major and minor, the book is jammed with many beautiful location photos, a number of which come from Portia Nelson's (she played one of the nuns) personal collection. What I found most fascinating was the list of famous young actors who screen-tested for the various children's parts (Mia Farrow as Liesl?!) as well as the director Robert Wise's battles with the studio to get his artistic vision on screen (20th Century Fox wasn't too financially solvent at the time thanks to Liz Taylor's Cleopatra debacle - of course the astounding success of The Sound Of Music changed that). In conclusion, if you love the film, you'll love the book. Get it today!
