The Sound of Music (1965)

This incomparable Rodgers and Hammerstein classic is based on the real-life story of the von Trapp Family. It stars Julie Andrews as a novice nun, who becomes governess to a large family in 1930s Austria, and charms not only her charges but also their father, who is played by Christopher Plummer.

The film broke box-office records and was winner of five Oscars, including Best Picture; Best Director (Robert Wise), Best Sound, Best Score, Best Editing. Julie Andrews was nominated for Best Actress and Peggy Wood for Best Supporting Actress. And with the famous songs everyone knows – My Favorite Things, Edelweiss, The Sound of Music, and more – the cast album was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
