If you loved West Side Story, try The Sound of Music

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Robert Wise, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to West Side Story, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Sound of Music is

Austrian Alps, pre-war summer, a nun's habit rustling. A young postulant becomes governess to seven children in a strict household. Rodgers and Hammerstein's classic songs make this family drama a Sunday afternoon staple.
