In its 50th anniversary year, the musical story of the young Austrian governess who restores joy to the strict von Trapp home is as well-loved as ever. Julie Andrews is timeless in her Oscar-nominated role as the free-spirited Maria, who wins over her seven young charges, and their stern father, through kindness, courage and the gift of song.
