The TVI Take
Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical about a governess in pre-Anschluss Austria. Educational value from the historical context and one of the greatest musical theater scores ever committed to film.
Cognitive demands from the political subplot threading through the family story. Entertainment quality is near-perfect — the songs are embedded in the cultural DNA.
