Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of "The Sound of Music" with New Releases on Blu-ray/DVD and Soundtrack

Posted on Thursday, February 26, 2015 1:42 PM

Movie PosterThis year marks the 50th Anniversary of the release of The Sound of Music, which starred Julie Andrews as a nun who becomes a nanny for the children of an Austrian baron, played by Christopher Plummer. The movie went on to win five Academy Awards, and is regarded as a classic.

TV network Turner Classic Movies is including the movie in its annual TCM Classic Film Festival held in Hollywood in late March, and there will be a theatrical run of TCM Presents The Sound Of Music 50th Anniversary in April.

The movie also will be released March 10, 2015 in a remastered 50th Anniversary Edition on Blu-ray in both a 5-disc box set and a slimmed-down 2-disc set, as well as a standard definition DVD.

It's unclear as to whether the video and audio has been remastered since the movie's 45th Anniversary Edition that was released in 2010. The specs are the same, and that edition got pretty good marks from reviewers, so it's likely that it's the same rendition of the movie.
