ABOUT THE SOUND OF MUSIC
Produced and directed by Robert Wise, and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, with Richard Haydn and Eleanor Parker. The film is an adaptation of the 1959 Broadway musical of the same name, composed by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. The film's screenplay was written by Ernest Lehman, adapted from the stage musical's book by Lindsay and Crouse. Based on the memoir The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp, the film is about a young Austrian woman studying to become a nun in Salzburg in 1938 who is sent to the villa of a retired naval officer and widower to be governess to his seven children. After bringing and teaching love and music into the lives of the family through kindness and patience, she marries the officer and together with the children they find a way to survive the loss of their homeland through courage and faith.
The film was released on March 2, 1965 in the United States, initially as a limited roadshow theatrical release. Although critical response to the film was widely mixed, the film was a major commercial success, becoming the number one box office movie after four weeks, and the highest-grossing film of 1965. By November 1966, The Sound of Music had become the highest-grossing film of all-time-surpassing Gone with the Wind-and held that distinction for five years. The film was just as popular throughout the world, breaking previous box-office records in twenty-nine countries. Following an initial theatrical release that lasted four and a half years, and two successful re-releases, the film sold 283 million admissions worldwide and earned a total worldwide gross of $286,000,000.
The Sound of Music received five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. The film also received two Golden Globe Awards, for Best Motion Picture and Best Actress, the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement, and the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Written American Musical. In 1998, the American Film Institute (AFI) listed The Sound of Music as the fifty-fifth greatest American movie of all time, and the fourth greatest movie musical. In 2001, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
ABOUT RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN
After long and highly distinguished careers with other collaborators, Richard Rodgers (Composer, 1902-1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (Librettist/Lyricist, 1895-1960) joined forces in 1943 to create the most successful partnership in American musical theater. Prior to joining forces, Rodgers collaborated with lyricist Lorenz Hart on musical comedies that epitomized wit and sophistication (Pal Joey, On Your Toes, Babes In Arms and more), while Hammerstein brought new life to operetta and created the classic Show Boat with Jerome Kern. Oklahoma!, the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, introduced an integrated form that became known as “the musical play.” Their shows that followed included Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music. Collectively, the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals have earned Tony, Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer, and Olivier Awards. The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization is a Concord Company, www.concord.com.

The dance that said, "She will never be a nun".
Oo my god this comment😂
I am watching in 2021. It is so romantic. Ooooooo
But she ran back to the convent and very nearly did become a nun because she had no idea how to handle what she was feeling.
The Mother Superior knew exactly what was happening and that’s why she made Maria go back to the captain house!
Lolllll
I didn’t realise as a kid that this film was like 3 hours long lmaoo... i was obsessed with it... the time just flew by
Same for me. I was awestruck.
i saw this movie when i was 7 years old for the first time back in 1972 in El Salvador. From that moment i knew it was going to be my favorite movie of all time.
@@MM-ox5go It's one of those timeless movies.
Me neither and me too. I watched it again 2 days ago for the first time in about 15 years. What a treat. I still know it word for word but it was a long enough break to almost enjoy it anew. This scene is EVERYTHING! What chemistry! Sweet Jesus!
Same for me...
RIP Christopher Plummer. You’ll forever remain the ultimate gentleman.
Definitely
💔💔💔💔💔💔
AMO ESTE FILME
In the movies but not so much in real life. research him
😭😭😭😭🙏
Their dance is one of the most romantic, lovely scenes ever filmed.
I agree
It doesnt hurt that theyre two of the best actors who have killer chemistry onscreen. They really managed to do everything right with this movie.
It was of a time that we actually touched each other in a non seual manner.
Music was also much more humane.
Dancing was seen as a social interaction between m/f.
M/f danced with each other in a manner that they actually spoke to each other.
Males led.
Females followed.
Defined (bi-gender relationships) existed an the infinity of "genders" did not exist.
Binary genders existed.
Gentlemen treated women like ladies.
@@davidgiles4681 this ☝🏻☝🏻
Indeed watched it since I was a child multiple times I still think I'd watch it even in my senior years ...💞 live SOM🎶 it's just a classic
This is the most realistic Hollywood portrayal of "chemistry", "romance" and "falling in love". No words. No grand gestures. No wild theatrics. Just simple, silent realizations. Just the pieces falling into their own places on their own, without being forced. Just two people, doing their thing, and they just, literally, *fall* in love.
So agree with you!
I especially love how opposite they are in personalities and STILL they fell in love.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
I can't improve on that!
I don't think I could have put it better myself... I kinda wanna make everything you've said into a quote :p ^_^
Still the most romantic scene ever! Who's still watching 2020??
I am....from the Philippines.....I love this scene very much...again and again.....and..
Totally agree, this movie reminds me of better times. Hope you’re all doing well, from Chicago
Me too.
I am! This is the most realistic and healthy relationship in a movie that STILL. Is dreamy. Some movies are pure fantaisie and that's it.
ME!
I don't get tire of watching Christopher and Julie dancing. It's a beautiful couple. The way Christopher looks at her, and Julie's innocent performance, it's what makes the dance so delightful to watch.
I know what you mean. I’ve seen the movie 10 times
Sigh xxxxx
It’s the way he looks at her.he looks so in love 😍
Smitten with each other
I wholeheartedly agree! I must watch this twice a day.
, just love it and the good feeling it brings.
Now THAT is what you call "chemistry".
Actually that's what we call "good acting". He was gay.
@@CallMeGailyn And ACKSHULLY, to call it acting is just another way of restating what I already said.
And what I said was "chemistry", not horniness. Chemistry is not about one actor being sexually attracted to their acting partner. In Turner & Hooch, Tom Hanks had chemistry with a giant mastiff. In "Easy A", Stanley Tucci has chemistry with salad tongs.
PS: As for Plummer being gay - he never claimed to be, not even in the memoir he wrote in the 2000s. For what it's worth, he was married 3x, the third time for over 50 years. Yes, he did play a gay man in the movies - that's what we call "good acting".
Chemistry is about being comfortable with each other and making good match on screen. And do look amazing together on screen
@@CallMeGailyn Why would you say he's gay? IMDB shows he was married to three different women.
@@CallMeGailyn he won an Oscar for playing a gay man-there’s a difference 😉.
I love how during this dance Maria looks at the floor or her surroundings for a lot of the time but the captain only looks at her
Eve Matley
I agree!❤!
Me too!!
Judge Judy
Exactly
It makes the mood of the dance more graceful 💕
It's that smile he gives her at the end, when they both realize what their true feelings are for each other. One of the best love stories ever filmed. Nothing explicit or vulgar. I remember how enchanted I was the first time I saw it.
i am still enchanted by it - 60 years later!
Really decent and respectful
Im more enchated at the last time I see it.... Such a beautyful moment in film history.
@@patriciagraham2287 me too. I am 67 now, was probably about 8 or 9 maybe first time watched it at the cinema. No DVDS in those days.
@@bernadettespeakman355 I'm 67 as well and our teacher took us. What an unforgettable movie and teacher, Mrs. Erving, thank you, ma'am!
As a kid I always thought the Baraoness was a right cow.
Now that I'm much older. I realise she wasn't.
She gracefully walked out when she realised that the captain's heart lay elsewhere
Indeed. She was awesome. I hope she found true love.
I don’t agree with the graceful part but she did do the right thing.
Rest in Peace, Christopher. This was a heck of scene in one heck of movie.
My he rest in heaven
and he hated it. but he did it well.
It is a totally magic scene.
Well said
Voir ce film a été un moment de pur bonheur. Reposez en paix Cher Monsieur! 🌹🇨🇦
I cannot believe as a little girl watching this, I never realized how handsome the Captain was. Where were my brains?
+Lemon Drops It was the one of a little girl ;)
+em. Ahaha, so true!
Ughhh good point, I'm 36 now and I'm like, holy hell he's hot!! Poor Maria!!!
When I was a little girl watching this, my mother said he was so handsome and I did not realize it either, but man, I know what she meant now. =)
Sarcastic Sugar same here! Now as an adult I think the Captain is pretty rugged and sexy
I wish ppl still danced like this
They used to teach children from a young age (from "good families") how to dance and carry themselves with grace. Courtly living, etc. By the time I was a kid they settled for the square dance :/ That hick dance will never come in handy and certainly does not demonstrate grace.
You can still learn how to dance like this through a "ballroom dance school" or something like that, but it's not a regular thing. Some people also run "ettiquette" classes for children, but it's not a regular thing either. In my Aussie school, we were also taught square dances and a couple of Aussie "bush dances." Strip the Willow is a fun dance, but not really a graceful one.
In Austria we still have ball season every winter :) formal dancing is fun! :)
lucy rosevelt i use to have to do this type of dancing at Walter Shalk or however you spell it. It wasn't this intense but it was like that type of dancing.
I am in an Austrian / Bavarian folk dance group in California, USA. People do still dance like this, but it's harder to find. Actually, it's interesting because this Laendler is not a real folk dance but I still absolutely love it. Many of the movements are fairly true to form, like the großes Fenster figure and the part where she is spinning as he walks. Also the beginning of the sheet music from the film features an Eingang which is the way the men traditionally start the dance. As someone who can dance real Laendlers I respect the choreographers for doing their homework before coming up with this.
It’s so neat how the laendler is an echo of The Lonely Goatherd. Back then it was a children’s song that showed her connection with the children and now it’s a grown up version, underlining that she she belongs with the Captain too. And since we already heard it earlier in the musical (but in a different version), it feels familiar and like coming home, even when you may not immediately recognise that it’s the same music. It’s such a neat trick.
Now that you mention it, it DOES sound like The Lonely Goatherd.
Very cool! I never noticed!
Wow, how interesting. I never realised. Well spotted.
Yes it is. I'd expect not many would have picked that up
A very astute observation!
Thumbs up if you’re here to remember Christopher Plummer...
Yes, all the time, from this movie to Star Trek VI.

Godspeed, Captain. I know this wasn't your favorite role, but some of us have loved you our whole lives because of it. Rest in peace.
He may have mocked it, but it remains a film that can be enjoyed by many people no violence, no swearing no phoney CGI. Just sing along songs and a bit of a Cinderella story.
My current job is not my favorite role.
Yes, I fell for him when did this dance with Julie!!
Global00Vintage you are right 100%.
He said it grew on him over the years, and by the time he passed away, he was saying he had been wrong not to like it! Better late than never, I guess..all time favorite movie, even to this day. RIP Mr. Plummer. And I might add as a young child watching him in this movie, I knew I would never be gay!🤭
Baroness was a fine woman, but she had one flaw, she wasn't Julie Andrews.
I agree! Yes she was very gorgeous as well. Just not exciting like Maria..
I agree The baroness didn't love the children either
Maria was a warmer person and more fun and brought back the warmth in the Captain. That is why he fell in love with her.
Eleanor Parker was well cast--she could project elegance, sophistication, and delicate beauty--but not the warmth (read: passion) Julie Andrews could project as Maria.
Best comment of my life!
How could anyone not fall in fall with the dashing captain? I watched this scene endless times and still don’t get sick of it.
Love the look on the Baroness’s face when she sees them dancing. She knows what’s up.😂
She saw Maria as competition but she knew George’s heart and knew that he wasn’t with her but Maria and while it hurt, she stepped aside and let him be happy!
She first saw it during the Edelweiss part
@@sammyyiieiieieieie Yes she did. I think she said something to Max like”Why didn’t you tell me? I would’ve brought my harmonica”😂
@@gretchennelson7056 what a shady Baroness, love her
@@stangerling9412 Me too. She was SO classy when she realized that she didn’t stand a chance with him though. Everything about this movie is sheer perfection. I swear if Hollywood ever attempts a remake I am definetely going to revolt BIG TIME.
And this is what sexual tension feels like folks.
Watching this scene literally makes me blush. The chemistry and the unspoken emotions between them are so physically palpable it's almost unbearable at times. You are just aching for them to be together. Their shyness, the innocence of the dance, the repression of their own emotions, and their own growing realization of the feelings between them all make this scene the most romantic film scene ever, hands down. I feel like I'm intruding on a private moment watching it.
Speechless. Oh speechless. Sometimes I feel like the baroness here. Again I wish to see myself in Maria... finding love where I least imagined or deserved.
My heart flutters whenever I see this scene. Something about it is just so romantic it literally causes heart palpitations.
So eloquently put!!! You've described this scene with such fluency it's inspiring.,👏👏👏👏👏
Eve Marie B. - you captured it perfectly! We are almost voyeurs to them falling in love
Eve Marie B. Armikuuselahl is armikuuselahilario
One of the hottest moments in movies. And yet it wasn't crude or explicit like now a days. So moving.
Just that tension....it's like when the King of Siam takes Anna by the waist during "Shall We Dance" and you can feel your shoulders drop like melting butter
@@yippedoodah Indeed, you took the words out of my mouth ! ^^
It's because the unspoken subtext is so powerful--too much for words.
except for the captain's tenting trousers...
@Senyora Santibañez I'm not so sure. My much younger girlfriend, a millennial, just texted me this clip a few days ago. The human heart hasn't changed. Sensitivity isn't dead, nor is love.
The most beautiful, romantic scene in the history of cinema, in my opinion.
agree. The Evergreen song in a Star is Born is my #2.
1:13.. POW~
RIP Christopher Plummer 💔
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good night ❤️
Christopher Plummer , . WELL DONE ,,, CAPTAIN , .. YOU HAVE CLIMED EVERY MOUNTAIN .. RIP, ....
@@lenyoung4217 ❤️
@@fairlyvague82 ....The chemestry between these too , would fill a science lab .... lol..
when Maria reaches over his shoulder to take his hand....man oh man, that will always be one of the most romantic split seconds I have ever seen.
+Stefan Bain I've always thought that too. It's a nano-second, but the look on his face!
Such excellent acting!
She realizes she's in love with him in that instance
TJ P lovely, but i thought it was the first time their eyes met and then she lowered her eyes, not being able to handle the direct loving intention of his gaze 😶 @ 1:10
Stefan Bain, I totally agree. : )
I have seen this movie probably hundreds of time and this scene *never* fails to makes me swoon a little.
diddo girl diddo O:-) ;-) :-)
+Christiana Baden Ditto too. This scene had more "sensual" aspect than anything Holly-Weird could ever create. It is wonderful that a film could be made to portray love and attraction without the crudeness we see too often in TV. This scene shows more with showing less and that is art.....don't see anything ever to compare to it. Good film making is not about reality---truthfully if one wants reality go to the morgue. It's about fantasy in a realistic believable way that is effective and real to enjoy.
+Kim Clayton Exactly my point! :)
+Matt L Well, I think a large part of it is the gentleness of it. It's not an overly dramatic or ostentatious scene, but it's intimate and sweet while still being innocent.
Christiana, you literally took the words out of my mouth. That's exactly what I've felt about this scene in particular for so many years.
After all the decades, this still stands out for me as the single most romantic scene in cinema history.
I don’t think there’s a movie other than this one that you watch a thousand times and you still enjoy watching it!
I love how the mood changes throughout the dance. In the beginning, Maria is a bit anxious, maybe thinking, "I really shouldn't be doing this, but I'm going to for the children." Eventually, she starts having fun with it, and relaxes a little. Towards the end, she looks into the Captain's eyes and starts blushing and again starts thinking, "I really shouldn't be doing this." This scene is so perfect and I love it so much, it's definitely one of my favourite parts of the movie.
Julie Andrews should have won for Best Actress for this.
omgbygollywow totally agree!
Me too!
"I really should not be doing this.....but it just feels so warm. No, get your self together, Maria. I should not be doing this. But the way he looks into my eyes, it makes me weak to the knees. No, i should not be doing this." Maria's exact thoughts during this dance
And what about the mood of the captain? Just before he starts this scene, when he appears at the door and sees her trying to dance with the child, he smiles maliciously and thinks, "Oh, I really should be doing that." Then, take the child away and with a cynical smile he offers his hand to Maria, thinking, "This is absolutely what I should be doing." Then, while Maria turns around him, he looks down at her legs, thinking, "This is definitely what I want to do."😁
“I don’t suppose I’m used to dancing.” --Maria’s response to blushing.
Meanwhile, the Captain’s smile is saying, “That’s just my charm working on you.”
Or her way of saying that she has won his heart.
For sure. Utterly charming, handsome, talented man.
Yes! When she first backs away, he looks crushed! Afraid he misread the situation, but that blush and that smile confirmed to him, she felt what he felt. 🥰
The most moving romantic scene ever made in the history of movie. Pure class . Have watched countless times . Cannot be improved.
This scene is considered one of the most romantic scenes in a film.
Part of the beauty here is that she doesn't have a fancy dress on or a lot of makeup. He loves her for who she is not her possessions. He loves her also because she loves his children.
I think that until now he had not seen her true physical beauty until he looks at the purity of her beautiful blue eyes.
And she represents Austria, his other love.
That was always my thought as a kid actually
Nailed it.
@@miguelcamacho8997 Maria’s eyes are angelic
I have a theory that the reason the Captain smiled at the end was because he now knew that she had feelings too. We didn't know it then, but later on he admits he loved her from day one.
+Elizabeth Crawford And that is why we are hopeful romantics! We place faith in the journey that brings with it a most blessed promise!
+Maria Popovici Its so much fun to be a hopeful romantic
gah..I agree! 😍😍
+Elizabeth Crawford Agreed! It most certainly is! It restores our faith in the redemptive promise of humanity!
I thought that it was just him feeling proud that he had made her blush but your opinion is much more accurate
Two tremendously talented actors, they glide across the floor like they are dancing on air.
I love how the picture gets blurry to show that it is a "falling in love" scene. 😍😍😍😍
You wouldn't think of finding a "manly" man in a musical. You usually think of "manly" men as the Stallones or the Schwarzeneggers killing and shooting their way through. But Captain Von Trapp encapsulates everything a true man should be. Strong, courageous, noble, prideful, selfless, passionate, loving, gentle, firm...he has it all. If you want a good example of what real men are like, look no further than captain Von Trapp in the Sound of Music.
Plummer was so handsome here but he really looked like he was in his 40s than 30s
nenabunena Perhaps because his hairstyle and the gray color hair. Before shooting Chris must coloring his blond hair turn gray for make him look older than his real age.
Did you know that the real Captain von Trapp was a "manly man" too? He was Austria's biggest war hero in World War I, a submariner when you practically had to have a death wish to get into one of those metal death traps. He was admired as a warrior all over the western world because his sub scored the most "kills" of any sub from any country. That's why the Nazis pressured him so hard to sign up with them--his enormous prestige and patriotism would have added immensely to their credibility.
I agree. But too bad that most men are not like this.
Micah Woodward thank you for the strong words of captain. I respect him.
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THAT THE CAPTAIN SMILED WHEN SHE REACHED FOR HIS HAND
Feathernote Productions No,I noticed that right away,also!!
I noticed to
no
I think he was waiting, hoping, and smiled with the relief she had unconsciously submitted herself to him, even if she didn't understand it - he did.
No, he’s impressed she knows the dance so well. RIP, Mr. Plummer.
best on-screen chemistry without a single word that i've ever seen.
Was it the direction or the acting that makes this scene red hot?
@@blacsouljah my guess is how the scene was directed AND the acting. the way the camera tenderly follows their dance with no harsh cuts and the way they just dance saying no words but they keep looking at each other... magic
@@IMAprogramaoficial I agree with you. The scene is textbook filmmaking, brilliantly produced, and really fuels my interest in the art of cinema.
agree
This is still the best version, for me anyway.
The subtle looks in their eyes and the way every inch and every line and every detail of their faces counts for everything.
What they actually *did* with their faces was only a very, very little but it says so much.
And you don't even *think* at first of what an excellent, stunning, remarkable job the actors are doing of *acting*. You just think of how the characters are *feeling*. And it seems as if it *isn't* even acting. That's how you can tell what splendid acting it really *is*.
They did good. *Really* good.
Not just the camera *on* their faces, either.
Their own faces did more than half of the work. Maybe *most* of the work.
Wow.
They're that good. They're really that good.
Nobody else was ever that good in those roles.
Splendid. Marvelous. Lovely. Brilliant. Beautiful. Handsome. Talented. Forever.
So you really liked them then??
You described this moment so well! I absolutely love this!
I saw a movie in which M. Plummer played the role of a Red Indian (can't remember the name) and was stunned at the wonderful physiqeu of the man and great acting. Many years ago, also in Counter strike 😮 1:50
Ur a terrific little writer. Lovely read. If u aren't a writer, then can I suggest that u take it up?🤭
semplicemente fantastici!!!!
Julie Andrews said that this was one of her favorite things she did in the movie!
A beautifully romantic scene when the Captain and Maria realize that they love one another. Surely one of cinema's great love stories. Christopher was incredibly charismatic and handsome.
Lol. One of her favorite things
I have never seen a scene with so much “honesty” and real attraction..".
If you're feeling curious or interested there is an Indian movie "kuch kuch hota hai" you might like. It's famous, prob on netflix (with English subtitles). The pair never even kiss & it's to this day the most in love I've ever seen anyone in a movie!! There is a dancing scene as well lol. I LOVE the sound of music & this scene reminded me of it.
I love this scene When she reaches over his shoulder very shyly and he grabs her hand, I love that part ❤️
RIP handsome Christopher Plummer, our Captain forever
Every once in a while I rewatch this scene to remind myself that relationships and love aren’t always as awful as I tend to make them out to be. Life really can be so beautiful
Right? :) hope you are doing great.
Une des plus belles scènes de cinéma!
one of the most beautiful scenes from perhaps the greatest movie ever made
*****
Quite, he demonstrated the things about being a real man, that is so hated these days.

You do know that there was a real Georg von Trapp? He was a rather successful submarine commander in the Austro-Hungarian navy.
Krister Andersson And the real Georg von Trapp was nowhere near as gorgeous as Christopher Plummer!
you can say that again.
lynnandersonfan I was 16 when I saw this Movie for the first time and I fell in love with Christopher Plummer. My friends fell in love with Tom Cruise and Patrick Swayze but not me :D
0:03 Look at Brigitta’s face when she realizes her dad is about to dance with her governess. So easy to miss but one of my favorite moments in the film. This is the first time it’s occuring to her that her dad may be interested in Maria, and she’s just awed and overjoyed at the realization that Maria might officially be her new mom and stay forever!
Today, February 5, 2021 Christopher Plummer passed away at home, at the age of 91. Thank you for gracing our lives with yourself, Christopher Plummer. In 1965 at the age of 7 when the "The Sound of Music" came out, I wanted to be the female in the courtyard dancing this magical dance with him, a little girl with a huge crush. Now 62 I still wish it, the crush and wanting to dance this with him has never gone away. Wonder if he realized how many females the world over thought this very same thing? The heavens have acquired a great one,
Every time I watch this movie I fall in love with Christopher Plummer.
He is GORGEOUS for sure!!!!
me tooooo *----* he is so.... I can't describe him!
Aleksandra Gościniak Gorgeous man, such an air of authority well acted in this part.
God omfg yes
Mmmhmmmm.
I love how classic movie always portray falling in love in an elegant kind of way.. nothing too fancy, but it just struck you in the heart..
I like some modern romance movies too
Elegant and innocent almost. You don't realize you're falling in love then one day you awaken and the lust is replaced by emotion
The chemistry here was so red coal hot 🔥 Oh my goodness the sound of music is unbeatable
Rest in peace, Christopher. May your legacy bloom and grow forever.
The look he gave her still after all these years never gets old.
Gosh I know! Their acting was superb! Wish someone would look at me like that.. 😍😍
+Courtney Harmon haha! Not just any someone, but a beloved and finely chiseled man, right? ; )
Maria Popovici Yes, to be clear I want it to be my husband who looks at me like that! Lol, not just anyone.
+Courtney Harmon Yes, yes of course, Courtney. I was simply teasing you!
'Tis the season for jolly, holly and all that...fa la la la la la la la la la ivy jazz! : )
Maria Popovici Haha, gotcha! Happy Holidays to you too Lovely Girl! I hope your doing well! ❤❤
People say Titanic or The Notebook are the "greatest love stories of all time," but *this* is the true greatest love story of all time. No extravagant events. No wild misadventures to capture the 'chemistry' between the couple. No poor meets rich. It's just simple and an intimate moment between two equals that are just coming to a silent realization naturally. Something that's not too hard to do, but Hollywood feels like it won't make for a good love story. You don't have to force the love story to make the plot move along. Just let it develop for itself and let the chemistry speak for itself and you'll end up with results like this.
I agree.Today,I might have watch this dance 5 times,I never get tired of it,I enjoy this dance more than ever before
The director of this was obviously very intelligent. You'll likely know it's a 1965 movie, so could be such matters were better understood back in those days! I was born near the end of 1962.
Maria was poor and the Captain was rich, so there was that. In real life, they all lost their money after the war.
this and the King and I dance scene are my favorite dance scenes in movies--they're both so romantic
Also Brief Encounter takes some beating
He knew he loved her the moment she sat on the pine cone. This was his chance to make her realise she loved him too. The look on both their faces when they realise the dance will become more intimate tells you everything about the relationship dynamic. Absolutely exquisite scene. Film making at its best.
It's wonderful to see classic moments from iconic movies like "The Sound of Music" being appreciated! The Laendler dance is such a beautiful and elegant scene, showcasing not just the talent of the actors, but also the timeless charm of the film. It's a testament to the enduring power of music and dance to convey emotion and story. Keep enjoying these wonderful cinematic experiences! 🎬🎶✨
I’ve been a fan of this movie since I was 13. I’m 31 now and seen it 11 times since
Christopher Plummer was so handsome in his prime!!
he was downright GORGEOUS!
Well Christopher Plummer was rather handsome how could a girl not fall in love with him? I certainly did!!
I dont see how JA didn't fall for him while making this. He was gorgeous and SOOO charming yet strong.
Rachel Demain, me too!!!
They both did, lol, but both were married.
@@charlottebuchanan3193 He was actually annoying to work with because he thought it was a cheesy movie.
You were honest with your feelings...
Lovely and sweet. No need to jump into bed or stick tongues down throats. Simply love.
I’m not a fan of those type of sex scenes
At 63 years old I just saw this film in its entirety for the first time last week. What a wonderful film. Julie is just stunningly beautiful in so many ways and of course the Captain is dashingly handsome.
No way
I love how she steps away after she and the captain get too close to each other. It really shows how she does want to be intimate with the Captain, however she is still to shy to show her feelings, and even more clearer she doesn't want anyone to know that she is in love with the Captian. That's the art of Julie Andrew's performance!
She's being pulled into a vortex. She's incredibly excited and desperately afraid. It goes against everything she's supposed to do and feel--but it's overwhelming, and she can't hide it. Nothing more honest than a blush
@@nicholasschroeder3678 Perfect addition to my description here :)
Julie Andrews' performance really was one for the ages. What an actress!
She's an amazing actress all throughout the movie. It's rare to see so much emotions so visible yet so hidden! Masterpiece! 🤗
@@MadamEllaMalala Perfectly put madam 😊
Maria starts dancing with Kurt as a governess, she teaches him practically. With the Captain she cannot hide behind the masque of the teacher, she is not anymore a trainee nun, and I think she gets confused, what is her role NOW ? what is she doing there dancing with her employer, the distinguished naval officer dressed in his formal suit and father of the children she takes care of? She is definitely in awe of him! All her life she has learned to respect and revere and offer. She looks at him solemnly, shyly, she does not know how to behave, he surely honours her by offering his hand to dance with her. She surely admires him but now the roles are completely different. He is a man and she is a woman, should she look around or at him but she cannot look at him as she feels weirdly. She tries decently to act her role in the dance BUT the emotions start to blow her heart and mind as the dance changes style from distant and theatrical to a growing attachment, proximity and intimacy. The distance between them as they dance in the beginning favours her in her effort to hide her confusion but in the middle of the dance it gets more and more difficult for her. The Captain, the employer, the father is such A MAN, she looks at her sooo calmly, peacefully, decently. He is focused on her as a true dance partner should be. When the dance changes style from thetrical to intimate and face-to-face and eyes-to-eyes, at first the Captain offers her his hand, she grasps it understanding the following growing closeness and feeling bewildered, whereas he smiles slightly, yes he is building a sentimental interaction and he is succeeding, she responds. At the final scene of the dance, because of the intimate eye contact, the closeness of the bodies, the moonlight, her mind just blows off! and gets red, she now gets the hint that he clicks her sexually, as a man. She is in love with him. Now she feels wonder, what is going on? she needs time to realize her emotions. And get paralyzed, she cannot dance anymore, She covers her cheeks when Brigitta tells her that she is red, she apologizes that she is not accustomed to dancing, again she tries to cover things up and hide. He looks at her in wonder, why did she stop, did he make some mistake? he tries to understand...and when she says that she is not used to dancing, then he finally understands, she has fallen for him!!
For me, it is the most romantic dance scene ever filmed!!
Beautiful
I love that analysis❤️
Perfect analysis!
Wow
Yes!
Such lovely dancing - so many moves, so co-ordinated. I used to sew costumes. The skirt on Julie's costume is amazing. It looks like a heavy, home-made, peasant outfit, but actually it's light as a feather and very responsive. It swirls and twirls like anything. A real pro designed that.
3 cheers to Robert Wise, the director, for his eye for the subtle details and the grand sweeping moments. Perfect.
I’m a fan of SOM as I am of West Side Story
@manuelorozco7760 Any Robert Wise helmed movie, whether musical or drama, is perfection, in my opinion.
My favorite is the 1963 horror classic "The Haunting" loosely based on the novel "The Haunting of Hill House," by Shirley Jackson. Camera angles, noises, and acting make you as nervous as any CGI monster or ghost would. You never see or truly understand why anything like this should happen and that will always be far more scary! If you haven't seen it, do! A masterpiece, of acting, of directing, lighting, everything!
@@kathleencowley7772 I’m not a horror fan
@manuelorozco7760 Fair enough. It's more a psychological mystery than a gore fest. Still a masterpiece that illustrates R. Wise's true talent for storytelling. That's all. :)
@@kathleencowley7772 Still not my thing
This is sheer beauty. One of the most iconic moments in cinema history. What a beautiful chemistry. The dance steps are so soft and lovely. It seems as if two swans are gliding on water.🥰😍😃😀
I love your comment!
@@liptak15 thanks 😊 🙏
Bet they practiced this a lot!
@@anniedowling1762 of course yes. But they have to be naturally good at it too.
Eat your hearts out youngsters. Movies like this one are once in a lifetime. That is... If you live in the right moment. There never was, or has been, another movie as beautiful as this one.
I was lucky to be 6 years old when it first came out. I've had 50 wonderful years to watch it over and over again. Unlike me... It never gets old.
I may be young, but this movie always has me coming back. It's so beautiful, especially with the character interactions, the romance, the music, and the settings. They couldn't have made it at any other time, with different people, in a different place, or with different music. Julie Andrews is absolutely perfect, and I'm glad she's still alive now, because she is a magnificent lady to be cherished.
I loved reading this comment. It feels nice to know I'm not the only who "actively" preserves all beautiful memories from past lives... Revisiting them every now and then and enjoying them just as much as the first time. I shall keep this side of me. Like you, at 50 years of age I'll still gush over "The Landler". ♥
I love this movie so much, but the sad thing is that I've only seen it once, and that was during one of my classes two years back. my parents don't allow me to watch romantic movies, which is altogether stupid, so I take the clips I can get 😅 but this scene is one of my favorites, and the chemistry between them is amazing. they nailed actual romance in this movie, which is a miracle in itself. I do have to ask, does anyone know a way to watch this online, for free? I'd like to reawaken old memories
78
Julie Andrews is so pure, there is no other actress in Hollywood that will ever be like her 💛
Absolutely beautiful! I have been watching this film for almost 60 years!
Rest in Peace to one of the handsomest and most versatile actors ever....
Actually this is my favorite scene from the entire movie. The dance is lovely just as it is artistic; but I especially love when she said, "I don't remember anymore," in an attempt to run from her inner feelings. Epic indeed.
yes!
Yes
They don't make movies like this anymore and what makes it extra special is the chemistry between them
My favourite movie on the planet. What a lovely, fleeting, tender scene. I wish Maria was real
She was real so was the Captain
I am 63 years old and the way the world is today and when life gets me down. I just watch these Sound of music clips. It regains my sanity.
The world is, in most ways, better than it ever has been. You should be encouraged, not discouraged.
I'm 42 and feel the same exact way.
@@scottdraper1244 Is the world better now? I doubt it, suicide rates are high, crime is unstoppable and people are dying from a world-class virus.
The world is worse than ever.
Scott Draper I feel the opposite. I feel as all the old values die, the world is going to hell.
Kids don’t show as much respect to elders anymore. Marriage isn’t as sacred. In the past people were more reserved when it came to sex. Now people don’t believe in abstinence. They move in before marriage. Everyone is easily offended. Everything is political. No such thing as compromise or an effort to compromise.
Divorce rates are higher than they ever should be.
Religion isn’t valued.
@@acdragonrider Agree!
The most beautiful and graceful dance scene of any film I have ever watched.
Isn't she so graceful and lovely AND also has such a beautiful VOICE as well???? OMG...Julie Andrews is a TREASURE!
Yes, she is an absolute treasure!! Grace, beauty, angelic voice. The total package! :)
true
Just hearing this Germanlike folk music is enough to call up,thoughts of walking through Hersheypark,in Hershey,PA,where you can hear music like classical music,polkas,and yes,even German music,on the loudspeakers throughout the main section of the amusement park.
+Elizabeth Mwanga same this dance is so graceful I just want to do the dance for a talent show but I have stage fright
Without a doubt one of the most beautiful scenes in movie history ☺️
Indeed!!!
@@mariadelcarmenmiranda2499 ☺️
The best scene in the whole movie. They're both unaware of the love growing in their hearts. The Sound of Music is my most wonderful and unforgettable movie.
That little smile he has when she puts her hand on his shoulder!
I finally figured out why this scene works so much. Almost the entirety of this sequence is in either a wide or a medium shot with very few cuts in between. It's as if the movie wants to convey that there is no one else but them in the world. Outstanding!
Ohhh y así fue❤️ y nosotros pudimos verlo .
Phantom I'm coming
With a very heavy heart we say goodbye to a wonderful actor, an actor from my childhood that has haunted my dreams along with Julie Andrews. He was The Captain from The Sound Of Music (the best musical IMHO to this day!), he was an amazing theater player and his skills were one of a kind. He was an old school gentleman... the kind that, unfortunately, this world doesn't make anymore :( he will be sorely missed by the movie lovers worldwide 💓 #RIPChristoperPlummer
Agree 1000%, it's touched me, generations later. Will never forget the impact he had on the world.
💔💔
I LOVE THE SCENE WHERE CHRISTOPHER PLUMMERS VOICE BREAKS DOWN WHEN HE TRIES TO SING EDELWEIS AT THE SINGING COMPETITION AND THE AUDIENCE AND JULIE ANDREWS START SINGING. ALWAYS MAKES ME TEAR UP, BUT THE FACES ON THE NAZIS!!!!!!
I love this dance. It is beautiful when you see the whole part of it on the dance floor. Not allot of cultures have this kind of specific dance skill.😊
Every time I watch this, I feel so sad for the Baroness. She's looking for love too. But Maria and the Captain are just meant to be. It's as simple as that. But I always wished the movie had allowed the Baroness to find happiness too.
When I was a kid i use to see the baroness as a small villain so to speak. But as I got older i realized she's not really that bad. She just sent Maria off so she didn't lose the man she wanted to be with. It's understandable. But she left without a fight when she realized she couldn't win.
Hmmmm, I thought in the movie Baroness wanted to send the kids to a boarding school hence as a child I saw her as evil. But I was sent to boarding school when I was 11 by my biological parents but the reasons were different, I was sent to one of the best schools in India. Baroness didn't like the children and was a socialite but my parents loved me to pieces.
Yes, unfortunately for the Baroness being a beautiful, sophisticated and intelligent woman who also happened to be very wealthy, true love would probably always elude her. As she said in her final moments with the Captain, she said that she needs a man who needs her desperately, or rather a man that needs her money desperately. She was realistic about that.
I feel like the baroness kinda loved max a little... just me?
She was only a Baroness in name only but her financial flight was in ruin. She was hoping the captain would be her savior.
Perhaps the most elegant little dance scene I have seen in the movies. The gentle music, the fluent choreography, the meaning behind it all, the romance. It really is a beautiful moment in the film.
Truly the most romantic dance scene ever that only these two had the chemistry to make it so.
One of the classic scenes of romance in cinematic history. Andrews and Plummer are absolute perfection as Maria and Georg. Bless you, Julie. Rest in peace, Chris.
I wish there had been more of their love story in the movie
Ariel me, too.
I think it was a good balance of everything
He never took his eyes off her and that is great 👍🏻
This is my favorite scene from the movie because this is when they both realize that they have fallen in love with each other.💞
Thoughts and prayers are with Christopher plummer's family at this difficult time.
Having to watch a tik tok ad before this gave me an existential crisis about entertainment today
I feel ya!
ikr?
The last 3 seconds are the best. ❤
Brigetta: "Your face is all red!"
Her: "Is it? I don't suppose I'm used to dancing."
Him: *smiles because he knows he made her blush*
I wish they'd actually gotten married in real life. That would have been absolutely perfect. 😭❤️
Haha
@@eharper7 same
and Briggita's face at the beginning of the clip when she realizes that Captain and Maria are gonna dance 😀
@@eharper7 they wanted to but she was still 2 split up with her husband also had a little child when the movie was shot...
One of the most beautiful and romantic scenes in film.
this was the most romantic scene in the world to me as a child and fifteen years later, it still is
Love it how at the very end, he gets this smile like "SCORE!" LOL
Yeah... "I'm officially out of the friendzone!" Lol
I love the fact that as of 2019 these two legendary icons, Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews, are still alive.
Same in 2020!
@@jasmynesartstudio 一
Alas, sadly not in 2021. Christopher Plummer has passed away peacefully at home. :(
RIP Christopher Plummer
No 😥
This is the first scene that came to my mind when I heard the news. Listening to Edelweiss next as I continue to cry. RIP Christopher Plummer.😭😭😭
This dance and the "shall we dance" sequence in The King and I are two of the most romantic scenes in film.
The smile on Capt Von Trapp's face was precious and beguiling He knew Maria was falling in love with him
Yeah. Christopher Plummer did a great job with the character.
I love the chemistry between these two in this scene! Such a momentous occasion in their relationship
I agree! ❤❤
+Ivy Hoss And the Countess looks at them with jealousy...
i totally agree

I am now 67 and grew up in a small town in central virginia USA. my parents planned a trip to the city, richmond, an hour away, to see the matinee. It was in one of the Lowes theaters, elaborately decorated. My father wore a suit and tie and my mom dressed to the nines and us in our sunday church clothes. I sat by the wall. We were a family of four. I remember crying and crying because i thought that tool rolf was gojng to give them up in the cemetery. Thank god for the nuns. Ive seen it at least a hundred times, probably more once it came out on vhs tape and then dvd and streaming. There will never be another movie like it.
I often wonder what happened to Rolf. Is that weird, or did anyone else wonder? Those poor kids were brainwashed by Hitler and his craziness.
@@leslieschott754 I agree. There's a video on either prime or paramount about the guy who ran the camp and his family lived literally right next door. His wife had a large flower, veggie garden and she's showing it off to a guest. Mind blowing. I can't remember now, but I think it was Patton who when they freed the camp was so angry he made the towns people clean it up. As to Rolf, he wasn't based on a real person, and they did not escape over the mountains. Years ago I saw an interview of Maria, and she sang in it, lovely voice. She said she fell in love with the children first, the capt not so much. But they escaped on a train and then a boat to America. They applied to go as good will ambassadors of the nazis, and stayed in America and built a lodge in New England, but to earn money the kids were forced to work singing. As adults they were bitter because they toured so much. That's what I recall, but you should maybe wiki it to check those facts. There will never be another movie like it. When my son was a baby, I'd sing the most romantic scene from any movie, them in the gazebo singing, I must have done something good. He talked really early, and I'd hold him for prebed bottle, he'd take the bottle out of his mouth and say, no sing, mommie, no sing. He's 33 now. I'm going to leave a vm on his phone singing it right now. Ha. Hope you have a lovely day, Patricia
“They don’t make them like that anymore…”. Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews❤️. The most romantic dance! True movie stars don’t exist anymore. No actors can begin to compare to the likes of these two as well as John Wayne, Maureen O’Hara and so many others of their time. I grew up watching these actors with my parents and the actors now have no idea what being a star entails.
