The Sound of Music VHS Rodgers Hammerstein Silver Anniversary Collection Remastered

New Sealed Old Stock VHS

Rodgers & Hammerstein's cinematic treasure, "The Sound of Music" is the winner of five Academy Awards, including Best Picture of 1965.  In this true-life story, Julie Andrews lights up the screen as Maria, a spirited young Austrian woman who leaves the convent to become a governess for Captain von Trapp's (Christopher Plummer) seven unruly children.  Her charm and songs soon win the hearts of the children and their father.  When Nazi Germany occupies Austria, Maria is forced to attempt a daring escape with her new family.  Robert Wise directed this based on fact tale of Austria's von Trapp family, who fled their Nazi-occupied country in 1938. Andrews is delightful and even fascinating as Maria, who sheds her tomboyish ways as a novice nun to accept the mantle of adulthood, becoming matron of the motherless von Trapp clan.  Plummer is perfectly cast as the handsome Captian that wins her heart and the cast of young people and kids who make up the singing von Trapp children make a strong impression.  Based on the Rodgers and Hammerstein stage musical, the score includes such winners as Maria, The Sound of Music, So Long, Farewell, Do-Re-Mi and My Favorite Things.
