I grew up in southern California, about a block from the old 20th
Century Fox lot before it fully moved to Century City. There was a
wooden fence all around the lot and it was plastered with the Sound of
Music one sheets, literally hundreds of them. When the movie came to
the theater, I remember whole families getting dressed up in their
Sunday best and going to see the movie. It was an event back in the
day. A movie where you were given a program and it had an
intermission, just like a stage play. That's all anyone talked about
at school for months. When I did finally get to see it, it was a
beautifully shot film and, of course for me being a big musicals fan,
the music was wonderful. Everyone loved Julie Andrews. I knew she was
Mary Poppins, but no resemblance to my young eyes. I did love the
movie, but I also loved Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, so go figure!!
It seemed like it was in the movie theater for a good 2 years solid
and, for the time, was the largest grossing picture of all time
passing Gone with the Wind, I believe, and then came Star Wars....I
just remember all the news was that it saved 20th Century Fox after
the huge losses from Cleopatra.

The Sound of Music FAQ [2]
books.google.co.uk
(FAQ). The Sound of Music FAQ is a comprehensive, encyclopedia-like
reference to the world's most popular movie musical. Rather than
focusing on the often-told stories of this classic movie, this book
looks at the 1965 Oscar-winner in relation to its source, including
the true von Trapp family story and the Broadway musical from which it
was derived. The Sound of Music FAQ explores such facts and trivia as
the movie's phenomenal original run in cinemas, during which it
dominated the box office for a staggering amount of time and became
the highest grossing movie of the 1960s and of all time; its long and
varied life on home video and primetime television; the bestselling
soundtrack and many other related recordings; information behind the
stunning Austrian locations; the critical feedback; the many stage
revivals; and the continuing references, homages, reunions, and
tributes related to it over the many decades since its release.
