Based on a real family and their true events, tells the story of a young postulate, Maria (Julie Andrews), who, after proving too high-spirited for the Mother Abess and other nuns, is sent off to work as a governess to seven unruly children. The Von Trapp family is run, in military style, by the seemingly cold-hearted Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer), a lonely widowed naval officer. Seeing how badly he and his children need companionship, he proposes to the Baroness Schraeder (Eleanor Parker), a calculating, mutual friend of beloved family friend Max Detweiler (Richard Haydn). It is the baroness who soon realizes that it's Maria--with her warmth and love for the children--the captain really loves. It is nearly bliss for the newly formed family who loves to sing together--except for the cloud looming over their beloved Austrian horizon: Hitler is ascending to power, forcing Von Trapp to decide whether to join the Nazi party--which he loathes--or force his family to leave their home forever.

I admit, I could imagine it being an hour shorter and still just as positive and beautiful, and also without the Nazis. But even with them, it's good, although I was afraid it might slip into something overly sentimental. Fortunately, that didn't happen, and the entire central family is captivating both in acting and singing.

A very sweet musical that even after all these years hasn’t lost its simple charm and the optimistic mood that radiates from it. But why is the magic so simple? How many other movies in the genre deliver exclusively static dance numbers, hard-to-remember melodies and sentimental humour, and yet make you keep your eyes on them for two and a half hours? It is not great filmmaking, but it is extremely honest filmmaking, visually disarming and supported by a pair of wonderful actors, whose characters we become firmly attached to, and whose "dark" ending make us keep our fingers crossed. The premise may have called for the script not to overflow with so much comfort and one-dimensional family message, but hand on heart, other than with just such humour and constant level of optimism, this legend simply could not work so well and lastingly.
