Winner of no fewer than five Oscars, this cherished family classic stars Julie Andrews as Maria, a hapless yet charmingly earnest nun who becomes governess to the seven Von Trapp children. As the Second World War looms, Maria brings much-needed joy and music to the household, gradually winning over the children’s hearts – and audiences throughout the decades.
