Description of this Poster of the film The Sound of Music
The Sound of Music is a 1965 American musical film produced and directed by Robert Wise, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, Richard Haydn, Peggy Wood, Charmian Carr and Eleanor Parker. The film is an adaptation of the 1959 musical, composed by Richard Rodgers and whose lyrics were written by Oscar Hammerstein II. The film's screenplay was written by Ernest Lehman, based on the book for the musical by Lindsay and Crouse. Based on Maria von Trapp's 1949 memoir, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, the film tells the story of a young Austrian postulant who, in 1938, is sent to the villa of a retired naval officer and widowed to be the governess of his seven children.
Filming took place from March to September 1964 in Los Angeles and Salzburg. The Sound of Music was released on March 2, 1965 in the United States, initially in a limited theatrical release. Although early reviews were mixed, the film enjoyed great commercial success, becoming the number one film at the box office after four weeks and the highest-grossing film of 1965. In November 1966, The Sound of Music Happiness had become the highest-grossing film of all time, surpassing Gone With the Wind, and it retained that distinction for five years. The film was equally popular around the world, breaking revenue records in twenty-nine countries. After a first theatrical release which lasted four and a half years, and two successful re-releases, the film had 283 million admissions worldwide and grossed a total of 286 million dollars.
The Sound of Music received five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, Wise's second pair for both awards, the first being for the 1961 film West Side Story. The film also received two Golden Globe Awards , for Best Picture and Best Actress, the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement, and the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Written American Musical. In 1998, the American Film Institute (AFI) ranked The Sound of Music as the fifty-fifth greatest American film of all time and the fourth greatest musical. In 2001, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, deeming it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
Maria is a free-spirited young Austrian studying to become a nun at Nonnberg Abbey in Salzburg in 1938. Her youthful enthusiasm and lack of discipline raise concerns. The mother abbess sends Maria to the villa of Captain Georg von Trapp, a retired naval officer, to be the governess of her seven children: Liesl, Friedrich, Louisa, Kurt, Brigitta, Marta and Gretl. Since the death of his wife, the captain has raised his children alone while applying strict military discipline. Although the children behave badly at first, Maria responds with kindness and patience, and soon the children come to trust and respect her.
During the captain's absence in Vienna, Maria makes play clothes for the children from curtains that need to be changed. She shows them around Salzburg and the mountains while teaching them to sing. When the captain returns to the villa with Baroness Elsa Schraeder, a wealthy socialite, and their mutual friend Max Detweiler, they are greeted by Maria and the children who are returning from a boat trip on the lake that ends with a spill of their boat. Dissatisfied with his children's clothing and activities and with Maria's impassioned plea to be closer to them, the captain attempts to send Maria away. But he hears singing inside the house and is surprised to see his children singing for the Baroness. Filled with emotion, the captain joins his children, singing for the first time in years. The captain apologizes to Maria and asks her to stay.
Impressed by the children's singing, Max offers to register them for the next Salzburg festival, but the captain does not want his children to sing in public. During a big party at the villa, where guests in evening dress waltz in the ballroom, Maria and the children observe the scene from the garden terrace. When the captain notices that Maria is teaching Kurt traditional Ländler folk dancing, he intervenes and joins Maria in a graceful performance, which ends with an embrace. Confused about his feelings, Maria blushes and separates from him. Later, the Baroness, who has noticed the captain's attraction to Maria, hides her jealousy by indirectly convincing Maria that she must return to the abbey.
However, Mother Abbess learns that Maria has stayed away to avoid her feelings for the captain, and so she encourages her to return to the villa to seek her purpose in life. When Maria returns to the villa, she learns of the Captain's engagement to the Baroness and agrees to stay until they find a replacement governess. However, the Baroness learns that the captain's feelings for Maria have not changed. She therefore peacefully cancels the engagement and returns to Vienna, while encouraging the captain to express his feelings for Maria, who marries him.
While the couple is on their honeymoon, Max enrolls the children in the Salzburg festival against their father's wishes. Having learned that Austria has been annexed by the Third Reich, the couple return home, where the captain receives a telegram ordering him to report to the German naval base at Bremerhaven to accept a commission in the Kriegsmarine. Firmly opposed to the Nazis, the captain tells his family that they must leave Austria immediately.
That night, the von Trapps attempt to flee to Switzerland, but they are stopped by a group of Brownshirts, led by Gauleiter Hans Zeller, who are waiting outside the villa. To cover his tracks, the captain pretends that his family is going to the Salzburg festival to give a concert. Zeller insists on escorting them to the festival, after which his men will accompany the captain to Bremerhaven.
Later in the evening of the festival, during their last number, the von Trapps slip away and take refuge in the abbey, where the mother abbess hides them in the cemetery crypt. Zeller and his men soon arrive and search the abbey, but the family manages to escape using the guard's car. When they try to pursue them, they discover that their cars won't start, two of the nuns having sabotaged their engines. The next morning, after driving to the Swiss border, the von Trapp family crosses the Swiss border on foot to find safety and freedom.
