I'm writing this in May 2019, long after this movie came out. I've seen this movie well over 25 times and I still love it. There is not a bad thing to say about it. Julie Andrews is sublime as usual, and that voice...so sad we'll never hear it live like that again. I've been in love with Robert Preston since Music Man & Lesley Ann Warren was my girl crush when I was a kid watching Cinderella.
BUT, my absolute favorite thing about this movie besides the music is the incredible dancing and choreography. So sad it wasn't recognized with Ny award.
What's even sadder is that kind of amazing dancing is never seen anymore. That's real dancing! I enjoy a lot of the current dancing and enjoy the TV dance shows, but this movie harkens back to the days of a real musical-the total package!
