Our movie is among the top reasons that tourists come to Salzburg ... and it's easy to feel that you've been transported back in time and into our film. Every corner that you turn, there's something beautiful to see.
The movie played for an unprecedented 14 months, and local parents quickly discovered that the theater doubled as the cheapest babysitter in town. They dropped us off with Maria and the von Trapps at least six to eight times that year, knowing we were in good hands for a few hours of show tunes. Somewhere between "Do-Re-Mi" and the escape from the Nazis over the Alps, I fell hard for musicals, for Austria, and the very handsome Christopher Plummer.
The Rodgers & Hammerstein classic is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year with a newly restored and remastered version of the beloved movie courtesy of the Walt Disney Film Restoration team. The film will be re-released in theaters in 4K from September 12-September 17 in more than 1000 cities across the country and around the world beginning September 20. Tickets are available HERE.
