Winner of five Academy Awards,
including Best Picture, this heartwarming story, adapted by Oscar winning
director Robert Wise (West Side Story) from Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, is
based on the real-life story of the Von
Trapp Family singers, one of the world's best-known concert groups in the
era preceding World War II. Julie
Andrews plays the role of Maria, a governess in the home of a widowed naval
captain, who brings a new love of life and music into the home and whose
courage led them across the Alps in their 1938 flight to freedom. (USA, 1965,
