The Sound of Music - Trailer [1965] [38th Oscar Best Picture]

In 1930's Austria, a young woman named Maria is failing miserably in her attempts to become a nun.When the Navy captain Georg Von Trapp writes to the convent asking for a governess that can handle his seven mischevious children,Maria is given the job.The Captain's wife is dead,and he is often away,and runs the household as strictly as he does the ships he sails on.The children are unhappy and resentful of the governesses that their father keeps hiring,and have managed to run each of them off one by one.When Maria arrives,she is initially met with the same hostility,but her kindness,understanding,and sense of fun soon draws them to her and brings some much-needed joy into all their lives--including the Captain's.Eventually he and Maria find themselves falling in love,even though Georg is already engaged to a Baroness and Maria is still a postulant.The romance makes them both start questioning the decisions they have made.Their personal conflicts soon become overshadowed,however,by world events.Austria is about to come under the control of Germany,and the Captain may soon find himself drafted into the German navy and forced to fight against his own country.

"SEVERAL years ago", not "seven".

I was born in Austria and moved to the U.S. in 1965 at the age of 10. This movie saved my life because I was soooo homesick for Austria. I listened to the music every day over and over. Thank you Robert Wise and Julie Andrews etc.

The best musical

I love this classic movie!

[NoPlan26]

I'm Austrian and I honestly have never heard of this movie before. My English teacher told us that almost everyone apart from Austria loves this movie. I'm quite sure that most of the Austrians don't know this movie. :-D
