a most entertaining dvd

Both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing once again the music of Rodgers & Hammerstein andwatching clips from movies that we saw many years ago. It all brought back pleasant memories and we'vedecided that they just don't write movie musicals like they used to. And what a shame.

Big Mistake

I was looking for "The Sound Of Music". I guess I'll have to update my spectacles and sharpen my reading skills.

Disappointing

Fall in Love with Rodgers & Hammerstein

I was browsing through the DVD section when I came across this gem. I'm not a big musical lover myself but I found myself humming along by the end of the DVD. "Rodgers & Hammerstein - The Sound of Movies" is a well done A & E television production. The various sections of the DVD are hosted...
