Book Reviews of The Sound of Music: The Making of America's Favorite Movie
Book Review: Some motion pictures you just never tire of.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was part of the segment of world society, the world-audience, that this story-musical-play-motion-picture was directly aimed at!!! I've always been cautiously optimistic, always worked hard, regularly go to church, look for the best in people, and try to give my best in return. I've never gotten much into the mindset of the snide, or the cynical, or the negative. Some very "dark" minded folks, have criticized this story from the get-go. Let them. I like everything connected with the "Sound of Music" and I think I always will. The film-makers had a good story and an excellent musical-play to begin with. But they took it up a notch. I respect and admire all that they did to accomplish that. How many motion pictures are still being watched, with regularity, so many years after their release? The story told within these pages gives its audience a little more insight as to "why."Book Review: THE BOOK for Sound of Music Fan

Summary: 5 Stars
Well now one can really go on and on about this terrific movie, my very favorite.I was delighed with the book, from it's size to the lovely photos and the great stories. I thought it was great to see the effort that was put into this beautiful movie and the way that the scenery, how the movie was put together,and how alot more of Maria's book, even in just little things, were added so well.My own grandchildren found out the delight of this movie earlier this year and you could say that our house was filled with the Sound of music for several months while they got their fill of it.Then to top it off , the sing-a- long version came to town,to see it again on the big screen was just great stuff,as we have seen it many times on tv,. but this was only the 2nd time on big screen. It's the only way to see a great movie!!!My book has been looked at and fought over many times. This is a lovely book and I recomend it to anyone who loves the Sound of Music also the special edition dvd with the extra dvd.I have also read Charmian Carr's book Forever Leisl and enjoyed the stories in that book too.The photos are wonderful, and I am looking forward to reading Letters to Leisl.Book Review: The Sound of Music: The Making of America's Favorite Movie

If you loved the movie version of "The Sound of Music," this book details the background information on the movie set. It provides information on how the characters were picked, interesting information about the actors/actresses, filming the scenes - not always easy whether location, weather and more. The real Maria Von Trapp visited the set too and asked to be in the film. Interesting and enjoyable reading!Book Review: The Sound of Music: The Making of America's Favorite Movie

I bought this book prior to my recent trip to Salzburg, Austria. I found it very informative, and well written and certainly helped me in my quest to locate the various filming locations from the movie in Salzburg. There are some great behind the scenes photos, and excellent details about the actual production of the movie.
Any fan of The Sound of Music would thoroughly enjoy this book.
