This is a great show. Not a Hitler let bashing, although he deserves all the bashing he can get. It's about death, family, heart ache, bended families. growing up. A story of, if I knew then what I know now, as told by the oldest. I think every viewpoint will be so different as will every review.

Have noticed two horrible mistakes already - Maria's maiden name was Kutschera not Gustl and there was no such party as the Democrats in Austria. The Von Trapp family story does not need embellishing.

I know it is not 100% accurate or the best in some eyes. but I have watched it numerous times...good back story, It also lets you feel how they might have felt. It is another perspective. I enoyed it and will show clips to my classroom.
