The Sound of Music (60th Anniversary)
A timeless, sugar-sweet classic starring Julie Andrews as a young woman who goes to work as a governess for the Austrian Von Trapp family. Winner of five Oscars in 1966, including Best Picture.
Directed by Robert Wise and starring Julie Andrews in her iconic role as Maria, the film tells the heartwarming story – loosely based on true events – of a spirited young governess who brings music, joy, and love to the strict von Trapp family in 1930s Austria. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Austrian Alps, the film blends enchanting melodies – including Do-Re-Mi and My Favourite Things – with a story of resilience, family, and hope. Beyond its memorable songs, the film is a testament to the power of kindness and courage in the face of adversity, notably the family’s flight from Austria, depicted in the second half of the film.
