The Sound of Music is a classic film based on the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical of the same name. With Julie Andrews as the leading lady, the songs are beautifully performed and Maria (Andrews) is as charming as can be. As a result, almost 60 years after its release, the film is still instantly recognizable. It tells the story of the large von Trapp family coming together with the help of the free-spirited Maria. Maria is sent to the family to take care of the von Trapp children, Leisl (Charmian Carr), Louisa (Heather Menzies), Friedrich (Nicholas Hammond), Kurt (Duane Chase), Brigitta (Angela Cartwright), Marta (Debbie Turner), and Gretl (Kym Karath). But she arrives to find that their father has enforced strict rules that need to change for her charges to behave like the children they are. As she helps the father learn how to relate to his seven children, Maria and...

It's been nearly 60 years since Julie Andrews first sang about how the hills of Austria were alive with the sound of music, but "The Sound of Music" remains a beloved cinematic treasure. Vividly colorful, unabashedly musical, and anchored by Andrews' performance, the story of Maria the would-be nun, and her small army of new wards — the Von Trapp children — is still rewatched and referenced often across the world.

With more than half a century of retrospect, "The Sound of Music" has also become a bit of a historical document: much of the film's cast and crew has since passed away, with the exception of Andrews herself and five of the seven actors who embodied the Von Trapp kids. Heather Menzies (Louisa) and Charmian Carr (Liesl) have both passed away in recent years, as has Christopher Plummer, who embodied family patriarch...

“Welcome to the 48th, 49th, and 50th AFI Life Achievement Award” joked Bob Gazzale, AFI President and CEO, who kicked off the last night’s event in honor of Julie Andrews by first giving the other award of the night, the 2022 Franklin J. Schaffner Alumni Medal, to “Coda” director and AFI alum Sian Heder.

It was a direct address of how the event, which had to take two years off due to the pandemic that is still affecting everyone’s schedules, travels, etc., was now back as a somewhat more humble affair. After a three-course meal, the audience was treated to a bit of theater, with the first presenters being the child stars from “The Sound of Music,” Angela Cartwright, Duane Chase, Nicholas Hammond, Kym Karath and Debbie Turner, all grown up and leading a sing-a-long of “Do-Re-Mi.”

Next was the first of what would be multiple video segments played between each presenter,...

“Welcome to the 48th, 49th, and 50th AFI Life Achievement Awards,” American Film Institute president and CEO Bob Gazzale said as he began his welcoming remarks for Thursday night’s long-awaited and pandemic-delayed tribute to Julie Andrews, the 2022 honoree at a ceremony originally set to take place in the spring of 2020. It finally took place last night at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, with all style and warmth so familiar to these evenings ever since AFI founder George Stevens Jr. came up with the idea in 1973, when director John Ford was the first honoree.

Since then there has never been a “gap” between ceremonies, but now there is between 2019 honoree Denzel Washington and Andrews, but it was well worth the wait, and congratulations to the AFI, Board Trustees chairs Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Daly, as well as Gazzale for not letting Covid diminish the event, even if it had to come a little later than usual.

Every member of the audience at the Dolby (transformed into a banquet setting for the elegant dinner) had to take a Pcr test at least 48 hours before entering the building. Other than that it was just like old times, and you could tell the industry crowd was thrilled to be there for a genuine show-business legend. The only sad part was that Andrews’ The Sound of Music co-star Christopher Plummer was not there. The Oscar-winning actor had actually been set to appear at the tribute when it was originally to take place before the pandemic had other ideas. He died in February of last year at age 91.

As you might expect, however, that iconic 1965 musical was a big part of these proceedings. The show actually started with the clip of the famous opening where Maria Von Trapp (Andrews of course) gorgeously sings the title song. And after the heartfelt standing ovation when Andrews was introduced (she sat at the dais in the middle of the room right next to family and old “chum” Carol Burnett) was a break for dinner, with the show then resuming with another familiar SoM song, “Do Re Mi,” bringing on the five surviving actors who played the Von Trapp children. They saluted her from the stage before charmingly moving through the audience, leading a sing-a-long while surrounding Andrews at her table. Nicholas Hammond, Debbie Turner, Angela Cartwright, Kym Karath and Duane Chase may all be older now, but next to the ageless Andrews it was just like they were all back in Austria and time hadn’t passed at all.

In fact Chase, who played Kurt, the younger of the two boys, actually went to junior high and high school with me (I remember the day he told me he was leaving our music class to go to Innsbruck to make “a movie”), so we had our own nice reunion. Later at the Sunset Tower after-party, he reminisced about how director Robert Wise would have to keep him from wandering off the set, something he said he often did to go exploring that memorable location.

It was indeed the perfect way to get things rolling as the tribute then highlighted the long career of Andrews, now 86 and still going strong. She talked about much of it herself in a video interview that accompanied the presentation of vintage footage of her childhood through expertly curated clips of her numerous triumphs on stage in classics like My Fair Lady and Camelot, the movies of course, and television, something Burnett charmingly recalled. They worked together every 10 years or so in very special specials like Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall; a hilarious bit involving food smeared over each other gets just as many laughs watching it now as when they actually did it. There was also much attention paid to her Oscar-winning performance in Mary Poppins, which she revealed was actually delayed after she had to tell Walt Disney she was pregnant. The studio waited for her and the rest is history.

AFI had hoped to have her 96-year-old co-star Dick Van Dyke on stage in person last night but instead he delivered some lovely remarks in a pre-taped greeting from his Malibu home. In other taped messages, Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ariana DeBose and more offered their own thoughts on the star.

But on hand at the Dolby was a much more recent co-star, Steve Carell, who tried to claim he had a longer history with Andrews than just the fact she played Gru’s mother in the Despicable Me franchise. “I was actually Kevin Von Trapp, their illegitimate son and cut from the movie,” he said, before also claiming he was originally set as Bert for Poppins and Thoroughly Modern Millie before Andrews got rid of him. More seriously, he summed her up as practically perfect in every way. “She has grace and eloquence. She is kinder, funnier, and more charming than you could ever imagine. She is even better than you could hope she would be,” he said.

Of course, much of the show was made up of clips of so many movies along the way including The Americanization of Emily, Victor Victoria, Hitchcock’s Torn Curtain, Hawaii, S.O.B. The Princess Diaries, Darling Lili, Shrek the Third and the other many collaborations with husband Blake Edwards including 1979’s hilarious 10, which made a star out of Bo Derek who returned the favor last night on stage as she saluted both of them. “Blake and Julie made seven films together. And as impressive as that is, it’s nothing compared to their 41 years of marriage…,” Derek said. “And for me and all of us, what they had onscreen and off was a perfect 10.”

Gwen Stefani — a massive fan, as it turns out — practically geeked out in her comments about her idol as she said she couldn’t believe she was finally getting to meet her (Stefani’s song “Wind It Up” features a “Lonely Goatherd” from Sound of Music). A clear highlight of the evening was a stunning rendition of the classic Sound of Music song “Edelweiss” by Cynthia Erivo. Andrews said it was her favorite even though she didn’t sing it in the film (Plummer did). Not a dry eye in the house after that one.

After a little over an hour or so, Burnett appeared again to present the Life Achievement Award to Andrews, who took the long walk to the stage, the applause never slowing down. Andrews in her acceptance speech graciously turned the spotlight on those who work behind the scenes, exhaustively listing every job on a set from camera operators, focus pullers, script supervisors and on and on. “The night reminds me with great clarity how many people are involved with making movies. What a huge collaborative effort it takes to bring film to the screen,” she said. “My husband Blake never liked when people referred to filmmaking as the business or an industry. He insisted that film was an art form and should always be called that. And I know that is exactly the way the AFI feels also.”

One special moment during the evening in the filmed interview with Andrews, she demonstrated how she can still say ‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’ backwards. For the record: “Dociousaliexpisticfragicalirupus!”

Just before the dinner break, the 30th Franklin J. Schaffner Alumni Medal Recipient award was presented to Coda writer-director Siân Heder, who won the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar earlier this year. She made her own terrific speech last night at the Dolby in the very same room she won that Academy Award, recalling her class at AFI had just seven women but that what she learned has colored her career ever since.

At the after party I caught up with her to re-live the very long Oscar season. She genuinely did not think she would win, only that she was certain Troy Kotsur would take Supporting Actor (he did). She told me after that early award, Steven Spielberg, sitting directly in front of her, turned to her and said “that’s one, two to go,” referring to the film’s other two nominations for her and Best Picture. It was only at that moment she thought she better come up with something to actually say if he’s right. And he was. Her speech last night reinforced the fact she is the real deal. AFI should be proud.

And also for AFI, this much anticipated evening was indeed not just “practically,” but pretty much perfect in every way.

Six decades later, the von Trapp children are back together. On Thursday night, the child stars who appeared in 1965’s “The Sound of Music” reunited 48th AFI Life Achievement Award Gala Tribute to honour friend and co-star Julie Andrews.

After a two-year pandemic delay, Julie Andrews was finally honored with AFI’s Life Achievement Award on Thursday, in a star-studded celebration that included Carol Burnett, Steve Carell, Gwen Stefani and Cynthia Erivo.

The 86-year-old star of The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins and The Princess Diaries made a rare public appearance at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood to receive the honor, telling The Hollywood Reporter ahead of the event, “I’m still taking the wonder of it in because it’s such a huge evening.”

And living up to that, the evening kicked off with a spectacle, as a woman in costume as Mary Poppins descended from the ceiling and flew around the theater, followed by an onstage Sound of Music cast reunion with the film’s child stars, including Angela Cartwright, Debbie Turner, Duane Chase, Kym Karath and Nicholas Hammond, now all grown up.

The Hollywood Hills were alive with the sound of music with this reunion. Julie Andrews received the AFI Live Achievement Award at a Gala Tribute in Los Angeles on June 9, and the stars who played the von Trapp children in The Sound of Music came together to celebrate her career. Nicholas Hammond (Friedrich), Duane Chase (Kurt), Angela Cartwright (Brigitta), Debbie Turner (Marta) and Kym Karath (Gretl) walked the red carpet at the Dolby Theater and at one point led the crowd in a sing-along of "Do Re Mi." And before they had to say so long, farewell for the night, they got a group picture with Andrews, who played Maria in the 1965 film and received an Academy Award...

'Jurassic World' velociraptor kicks Iron Man ass at worldwide box office. 'Jurassic World' officially surpasses 'The Avengers' at worldwide box office Directed by Colin Trevorrow; starring Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Vincent D'Onofrio; and co-executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, Jurassic World has officially become the third biggest worldwide box office hit in history. The Jurassic Park sequel – or reboot, as it's basically the same story with a slightly different twist – has surpassed Marvel's Joss Whedon-directed all-star superhero flick The Avengers, which broke box office records back in 2012. Of course, "officially" just ain't what it used to be – like, in the days before The Fall. So you wisely ask, "But which movie has actually sold the most tickets?" After all, that's the true measure of a film's popularity. Well, that's a tough one to answer without the studios providing accurate, precise numbers. And that's not about to happen. It always...
