On screen, the Robert Wise–directed film, starring Julie Andrews (Maria) and Christopher Plummer (Captain von Trapp), broke box-office records to become the highest-grossing movie of 1965 (ultimately earning over $280 million worldwide) and swept the 38th Academy Awards® with five Oscars—including Best Picture and Best Scoring of Music—plus multiple Golden Globe Awards®. The movie’s initial U.S. release lasted four-and-a-half years, and from 1966 to 1972, The Sound of Music was cited by Variety as the “All-Time Box Office Champion.” In 2001, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” CONNECT WITH RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN http://www.rodgersandhammerstein.com​   / rodgersandhammerstein     / rnh_legacy     / rodgersandhammerstein     / rodgersandhammerstein   CONNECT WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC   / thesoundofmusic     / soundofmusic     / soundofmusic   ABOUT RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN After long and highly distinguished careers with other collaborators, Richard Rodgers (Composer, 1902-1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (Librettist/Lyricist, 1895-1960) joined forces in 1943 to create the most successful partnership in American musical theater. Prior to joining forces, Rodgers collaborated with lyricist Lorenz Hart on musical comedies that epitomized wit and sophistication (Pal Joey, On Your Toes, Babes In Arms and more), while Hammerstein brought new life to operetta and created the classic Show Boat with Jerome Kern. Oklahoma!, the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, introduced an integrated form that became known as “the musical play.” Their shows that followed included Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music. Collectively, the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals have earned Tony, Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer, and Olivier Awards.
