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.
