...would be fun to have Christmas trees decorated to the specifications of various celebrities. Television's Smothers Brothers' tree is a roost for 50 peace doves. Socialite-Artist Gloria Vanderbilt Cooper's tree is a collage of gingham swatches and lacy Christmas cards. Baroness Maria von Trapp directed her tree be festooned with homemade cookies-even sent the recipes along. But no one could hold a Christmas candle to Songstress Pearl Bailey who, when asked what she wanted on her tree, replied "Just gobs and gobs of pearls, honey." And gobs is what...
...Navy officer (Henry Fonda), who has recently lost his wife, returns to shore duty to take care of his ten momless moppets. Trying to run a family like a taut ship, he first finds the kids mutinous-just like Captain von Trapp in The Sound of Music.

...Hollywood fixation with sex and violence, Sound of Music-like two other big hits, My Fair Lady and Mary Poppins-is refreshingly tuneful, colorful and cheerful. Exquisitely filmed in the Tyrolean Alps of Austria, it celebrates the real-life courage of the Trapp Family Singers and their escape from the Nazis in 1938. The children are charming, and so is the music, from the title song to My Favorite Things...
