The Sound of Music 1965

Sing your way into a family's heart

A young novice is sent by her convent in 1930s Austria to become a governess to the seven children of a widowed naval officer.

Restless and full of music, a free-spirited woman leaves her mountain abbey for a grand house overlooking the Alps. Her new task is to bring laughter and warmth to a household ruled by strict routine and lingering sorrow. Her buoyant spirit soon proves to be exactly what the home has been missing.
