Though she's often accused of being sugary, Julie Andrews turns in a gutsy performance which takes the curse off this musical's more dangerously mawkish moments. Robert Wise and a highly skilled production team (many of whom had collaborated on the more intellectually acceptable West Side Story, four years before) do a terrific job on this movie which unfashionably celebrated childcare and a feminine sense of duty. Its excellent Rodgers and Hammerstein songs, gripping story and life-affirming atmosphere make this a timeless classic, whatever curmudgeonly critics might say (and they did).
The film won five Oscars, including Best Music Score (orchestrated by Irwin Kostal), Film Editing (William Reynolds) and Sound (James P. Corcoran, Fred Hynes). Nominated were cinematographer Ted McCord, art directors Boris Leven, Walter M. Scott and Ruby Levitt, and costume designer Dorothy Jeakins.
