...Among these, the exceptionally big hit "West Side Story" (1961) sparked a boom in large-scale film adaptations of Broadway musicals, but "Gypsy" (1962) starring Natalie Wood and "My Fair Lady" (1964) starring Audrey Hepburn were musical films that completely lacked the power and charm of the original stage versions, as they featured stars with no connection to singing or dancing, with the songs dubbed over by professional singers and the dancing performed by professional dancers. Among these, the 70mm film adaptation of the Broadway musical The Sound of Music (1965), starring Julie Andrews (1935-), who could sing and dance as herself, followed closely on from Mary Poppins (1964), and was such a record-breaking hit in the industry that it was nicknamed the "Sound of Money." However, rather than a musical film, it was more of a family-oriented "music film," and it did not contribute much to the musical film genre as it was originally intended, and it is said to have had a negative impact on Hollywood, which was unprepared for the future. Other blockbusters that tried to follow the success of The Sound of Music, such as Warner Brothers/Seven Arts' Camelot (1967), 20th Century Fox's The Wonderful Adventures of Doctor Dolittle (1967), Columbia's Funny Girl (1968), MGM's Goodbye to Mr. Chips (1969), and Paramount's The Painter's Wagon (1969), all failed and caused damage to their respective companies.
