Description
Shot in Salzburg against the majestic Bavarian Alps, THE SOUND OF MUSIC is considered one of the greatest screen musicals ever made. Winner of five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director (Robert Wise), the film, based on a real family and their true events, tells the story of a young postulate, Maria (Julie Andrews), who, after proving too high-spirited for the Mother Abess and other nuns, is sent off to work as a governess to seven unruly children. The Von Trapp family is run, in military style, by the seemingly cold-hearted Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer), a lonely widowed naval officer. Seeing how badly he and his children need companionship, he proposes to the Baroness Schraeder (Eleanor Parker), a calculating, mutual friend of beloved family friend Max Detweiler (Richard Haydn). It is the baroness who soon realises that it's Maria - with her warmth and love for the children - the captain really loves. It is nearly bliss for the newly formed family who loves to sing together - except for the cloud looming over their beloved Austrian horizon: Hitler is ascending to power, forcing Von Trapp to decide whether to join the Nazi party - which he loathes - or force his family to leave their home forever. One of the most memorable scores ever written (by Rodgers and Hammerstein) and breathtaking performances by Andrews, Plummer, and the seven children mark this classic as one of the world's most favourite films.

Who doesn't know the opening song to this film or at least the first few words. Yes the hills are truly alive with the sound of this music and it couldn't of been accomplished by anyone but Julie Andrews as Clumsy Nun Maria.
Maria is sent to be the nanny of the Von Trapp family a well groomed family who's strict father has whipped them into shape but to such an extent that they have forgotten how to be children.
Maria is set on giving them back their childhood and during that process although it gets her into trouble with the father of the family she also teaches him to loosen up on his children.
This is very much a love story and also a kind hearted family film which is set to entertain any ages.
Every song in this film is so catchy and memorable that you will find your friends looking at you strangely when you start to silently sing to yourself, "Alone on a hill with a lonely goat Yodelay yodelay yodelay hee hoo"
I loved this film and it is a wonder why Julie never won an Oscar for her role. This increased my respect for Dame Julie but a truck load and she will forever be remembered as Froileign Maria.
