The mostly scathing notices did little to deter sales for a film released in Hong Kong as Fairy Music Blow Fragrant Place, Place Hear and in Argentina as The Rebellious Novice.īy the end of its global run, The Sound of Music had grossed $286,214,076 worldwide. Judith Crist, at the New York Herald Tribune, deemed it suitable only for "the five to seven set and all their mommies." His colleague Bosley Crowther dismissed the film as "romantic nonsense and sentiment". Brooks Atkinson, the New York Times critic, said that "the scenario of The Sound of Music has the hackneyed look of the musical theatre replaced with Oklahoma! in 1943". Pauline Kael described the film as "the sugar-coated lie that people seem to want to eat". In 1965, New York's critics were in agreement about the merits of Robert Wise's The Sound of Music.
