When I read this i was wondering if the reason the movie was not popular was that it reminded Austrailians of a past that they want to forget. The movie 'Sound of Music' was not like by the people of Austrea, since it showed the people supporting the NAZI's.

Here, in Australia, the movie received very poor reviews. Most reviewers regarding the story line as nothing but a set of Australian cliches that reflect little of Australia's true character. All reviewers agree however that the cinematography and production were excellent. I've not viewed the movie myself, but now that I have your recommendation, I'll track it down on DVD. Thanks, John in Australia.
