Last week, on March 27th  the stars of the Sound of Music reunited in Hollywood to celebrate the milestone of the 1965 musical that has become an enduring classic, kicking off the TCM Festival and featuring a screening at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Julie Andrews, now 79, told The Associated Press that she couldn’t pinpoint the overriding reason that the film has been so popular for so many years, but added, “They all came together to make, I guess, a joyous family film, that’s the best way I can describe it.” In honor of the anniversary celebration, a five-disc Blu-ray DVD collection has been released along with the soundtrack’s re-release and four new books about the film. The movie opens in over 500 theaters in April.  more>>>
