Julie Andrews is perfectly cast in this 1965 movie version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, which deserves its run on ABC as a holiday family classic. But give a nod, this time around, to screenwriter Ernest Lehman, who wrestled this story, and its music, to the ground, making room for both intimate moments of song and expansive moments of sprawling nature – sometimes in the same scene. And ponder, for a moment, some of the other movies whose screenplays were written or co-written by Lehman: it’s a list that includes The King and I, Sweet Smell of Success, North by Northwest, West Side Story, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and Portnoy’s Complaint. Except for Portnoy, which even with all its flaws has its moments, these are a few of my favorite things.
