Probably one of the most well known musicals of all time, this tells the story of young nun in training Maria (Julie Andrews), who is sent to be the governess of widower Captain Von Trapp’s (Christopher Plummers) 7 children. After their initial wariness of her, the children quickly grow to love Maria as she shares her love of music and life. It isn’t long before the stern captain begins to realize that he needs Maria there as much as his children do. Things could easily settle into a happy-go-lucky tale, but it’s set in Austria in 1938 and the world is about to change.
Based on a true story, this film along with winning 5 Academy Awards also broke many box office records around the world.
