Synopsis

Richard Rodgers was one of America's most prolific musical composers, writing over 900 songs for more than 70 shows throughout a seven-decade career – a record unmatched in theatrical history. His collaborations with lyricists like Lorenz Hart and Oscar Hammerstein II created enduring musicals such as 'Babes in Arms,' 'Oklahoma!,' 'The Sound of Music,' and 'South Pacific.' However, Rodgers himself was a private and reserved figure, a stark contrast to the joyful music he composed. 'American Masters: Richard Rodgers: The Sweetest Sounds' offers a revealing portrait of this legendary composer. Narrated by Tony Roberts, the film includes interviews with Julie Andrews, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Trevor Nunn, and Celeste Holm, alongside archival performances by Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, and others.
