A governess is needed for the children of an Austrian navy
captain who must learn how to love his children after his wife dies, leaving
him a sour and strict single father. Julie Andrews stars as Maria, a young
woman trying to be a nun and failing miserably. She is given the job of governess
for Captain von Trapp’s children, but finds their antics a challenge. Because
Maria is fun-loving and energetic, she is able to train the children using
songs.
Romance fills the once-stern father’s house with life just
as Nazi soldiers demand Captain von Trapp’s allegiance. He and Maria must find
a way to keep the family together and safe during the Nazi invasion.
One of America’s most-loved musicals, this film has given
families plenty of reason to sing together. Songs of young love, a yodeling
goat-herder, following your dreams, and saying goodbye are sung in families,
schools, and communities every year. When listing your favorite things, do you
also list raindrops on roses?
The film won five Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best
Sound, Best Film Editing, and Best Music Scoring of Adaptation or Treatment.
