"Surrounded by hundreds of well-wishers as well as the children, Maria processes down the aisle of the cathedral at Mondsee in a simple, elegant Dorothy Jeakins gown with the Nonnberg Abbey nuns (never mind the geography) looking on approvingly. One of the most memorable in film history after Wagner, Irwin Kostal's adaptation of Richard Rodgers' wedding processional for Maria, overscored with strains of "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?," earned Kostal an Academy Award for Best Music Scoring and sets the perfect tone for this, one of the most tastefully lavish wedding scenes ever filmed."
