I think part of the problem was the stage acting didn't translate well to TV. The movements and gestures seemed exaggerated--a necessity when you're performing on the stage but not on the small screen.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind comments.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06728909810579677454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277656889531400083.post-87797722813961986722015-05-23T14:42:42.027-07:002015-05-23T14:42:42.027-07:00I hear ya on the recent "live TV" versio...I hear ya on the recent "live TV" version!

I couldn't attend the big-screen showing, but I did purchase the 50th anniversary Blu Ray and can't wait to watch it again as well as the new special feature documentary. My mom wanted to be a nun at one point in her life and loved movies about them, especially The Nun's Story which was one of her favorites. Did you watch the live TV version a few years ago? What did you think of it? I really enjoyed that version, too - it was basically the broadway version with additional songs, which I never heard before, and it was fun. But nothing can really compare to the movie, of course! - TomTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212743923364795680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277656889531400083.post-77802189504724323862015-05-16T21:08:45.552-07:002015-05-16T21:08:45.552-07:00I love hearing how film fans grew to love a partic...I love hearing how film fans grew to love a particular movie! I saw THE SOUND OF MUSIC when it was originally released. Initially, I was hesitant to go see it...but it played at a theatre in my hometown for almost a year! Around the time it was "held over for the 48th week," I decided to see it and then left wondering why I had waited so long. The recent "live TV" version recently reminded me just how good the original film was!Classic TV Blog Associationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04360917263102455222noreply@blogger.com
