The hills are alive with the sound of podcasting! On this episode of Close Watch with Robert Yaniz Jr., we celebrate one of the most beloved musicals in cinematic history, 1965’s The Sound of Music.
Directed by Robert Wise and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, this Rodgers and Hammerstein adaptation became an instant classic, winning five Academy Awards (including Best Picture). Robert is joined by Phoenix Clouden of Curtain To Curtain to explore why this iconic film has remained one of the best movie musicals.
We discuss Julie Andrews’ unforgettable portrayal of Maria von Trapp and compare it to her other legendary role in Mary Poppins, which was released just the previous year. Robert and Phoenix also break down the film’s enduring themes of family, resilience, and standing up against oppression, which still feel strikingly relevant in today’s world.
And, of course, no discussion about The Sound of Music would be complete without the music! We each rank our top six songs from the film’s legendary soundtrack, which includes timeless classics like “Do-Re-Mi,” “My Favorite Things,” “Edelweiss,” and the title track. Which of the movie’s beloved tracks will soar its way onto our list?
What makes The Sound of Music such an enduring treasure? Tune in as we revisit this cinematic masterpiece and unpack why it continues to “climb every mountain” in pop culture six decades since its release.
