The Sound Of Music 40th Anniversary Collector's Edition DVD (two-disc)
sees Julie Andrews host a look back at the phenomenon of the musical
including hours of brand new documentary material especially created for this
milestone year. Viewers are taken from the Hollywood Hills to the Austrian
Alps and along the way will get to hear the fascinating story behind THE
SOUND OF MUSIC; drop in on a warm hearted chat between Andrews and Plummer;
travel back to Salzburg with Charmian Carr (Liesl) to revisit the movie's
locales; join all seven of the children in a boisterous family reunion; and
even tag along to an unforgettable "sing-a-long" Sound of Music at the
Hollywood Bowl!

Winner of five Academy Awards(R), including Best Picture, The Sound Of
Music was directed by Robert Wise (West Side Story), and was based on the
true story of the Von Trapp Family Singers. A magical film to be treasured,
The Sound Of Music is an enchanting experience that continues to captivate
with each viewing.

Academy Award(R) winner Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins, The Princess
Diaries) lights up the screen as Maria, the spirited young woman who leaves
an Austrian convent to become a governess to the seven children of Captain
Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer; A Beautiful Mind, National Treasure), a
widower whose strict household rules leave no room for music or merriment. As
none of the previous governesses have lasted long, the Captain is counting on
Maria to keep his children well-behaved and out of his way...

Don't miss out on this timeless classic that every family should share on
DVD!
