Movie Review: *****The Sound of Music

This is one of my favorite movies of all time.  I saw it when it first came out at a theater in Denver, where we had traveled for my father's graduation with his Masters in Library Science from the University of Denver.  It was at a big theater in Denver.  And what a presentation from the "Sound Of Music" in the Austrian Alps, and Maria running full speed to make the bell, which she fails miserable.
This show has many high-lights.  My favorite is the Mother Abyss singing "Climb Every Mountain to Maria, telling her to face her challenges rather than run from them:
Climb every mountain,
Search high and low,
Follow every byway,
Every path you know.

Climb every mountain,
Ford every stream,
Follow every rainbow,
'Till you find your dream.

A dream that will need
All the love you can give,
Every day of your life
For as long as you live.

Don't you just love the two nuns confessing "I have sinned" as she shows the Reverand mother the car parts, as the von Trapp family makes its way over the mountain.
