One of the greatest and most popular movies in American cinema, THE SOUND OF MUSIC is a heartwarming, touching, and true story of the Von Trapp Family Singers.
Maria (Julie Andrews in an Oscar nominated performance) is an anchorite that doesn't really fit in with the other nuns at the convent. The Mother Superior realizes this, and arranges it so that Maria can be a governess for the seven children of a domineering, retired, and widowed naval officer (Christopher Plummer) who runs the house like a ship. Maria brings life and music back to the family, and wins the hearts of the children and eventually their father.
With its gorgeous scenery, superb performances, unforgettable musical numbers ("Do-Re-Mi," "My Favorite Things," and "Edelweiss" among the most popular), and five Academy Awards (including Best Director, Best Score, and Best Picture), THE SOUND OF MUSIC is the perfect family film that never lets its lengthy running time get in the way.
MPAA Rating: PG. |
