CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Maria (Julie Andrews) sings out "The Sound of Music" to the mountains of Austria.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
One of the most popular movie musicals of all time, The Sound of Music is based on the true story of the Trapp Family Singers. Julie Andrews stars as Maria, a young nun in an Austrian convent who regularly misses her morning prayers because she enjoys going to the hills to sing the title song. Deciding that Maria needs to learn something about the real world before she can take her vows, the Mother Superior (Peggy Wood) sends her off to be governess for the children of the widowed Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer). Arriving at the Trapp home, Maria discovers that her new boss is cold and aloof, and his seven children virtual automatons-at least, whenever the Captain is around. Otherwise, the kids are holy terrors, as evidenced by the fact that Maria is the latest in a long line of governesses. But Maria soon ingratiates herself with the children, especially oldest daughter Liesl (Charmian Carr), who is in love with teenaged messenger boy Rolf. As Maria herself begins to fall in love with the Captain, she rushes back to the Abbey so as not to complicate his impending marriage to a glamorous baroness (Eleanor Parker). But the children insist that Maria return, the Baroness steps out of the picture, and Maria and the Captain confirm their love in the song "Something Good." Unhappily, they return home from their honeymoon shortly after the Nazis march into Austria. Already, swastikas have been hung on the Von Trapp ancestral home, and Liesl's boyfriend Rolf has been indoctrinated in the "glories" of the Third Reich. The biggest blow occurs when Von Trapp is called back to active duty in the service of the Fuhrer. The Captain wants nothing to do with Nazism, and he begins making plans to take himself and his family out of Austria.

Perhaps one of the most beautiful opening scenes in cinema history!

Julie Andrews was so passionate in both her acting and vocal singing. Such a great performance!

[hadeel]

She not only played 1 but 2 of the most iconic parts ever. Lucky woman. And we the audience are lucky to have seen her in action.

This makes me cry. So much nostalgia from my childhood. Being 23 in a cold college setting sucks. I miss the warmth of teh good days.

I'm 59 yrs. old and saw this at Radio City Music Hall in NYC probably within the first month it opened. I was 6 and have watched it every year since then. This is my favorite movie of all time and takes me back to a sweeter, gentler time. I love Julie Andrews, the music and the message.

[mohammedashian]

I just finished watching it for the first time in a special screening and what can I say? The hills are TRULY alive with the sound of music. 😊

[ryanking]

When I watch the movie i get chills when the music gets louder until she starts singing. I sing right along with her. Just brings me back to my childhood.

[barbarafonseca]

[nauuwgtx]

Damn that's some 1965 cinematography there

[aav]

The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears
My heart wants to beat like the wings of the birds
that rise from the lake to the trees
My heart wants to sigh like a chime that flies
from a church on a breeze
To laugh like a brook when it trips and falls over
stones on its way
To sing through the night like a lark who is learning to pray
I go to the hills when my heart is lonely
I know I will hear what I've heard before
My heart will be blessed with the sound of music
And I'll sing once more

[TheRoyalBavarian]

Sixty years pass and feel the awe of this scene like domthing new everytime.

[harrietbouvin]
