‘The Sound of Music’ returns to cinemas in September
There’s a good number of us Malaysians who have gone through hundreds of reruns of The Sound of Music. But there’s only so much justice that our TV and laptop screens can do to twirling on sprawling hills and singing our hearts out about our favourite things.
If you agree with this, mark your calendars for 20th September 2025. Local cinema chain GSC has announced limited 4K remastered and restored screenings of the 1965 musical film classic at its cinema halls – it’s the perfect opportunity for us to fall in love with the music and magic all over again.
