Synopsis

The stunning Austrian mountains provide the backdrop for this wartime musical extravaganza which opens with novice nun Maria spinning around on the hills. She straightens up however, when she's asked to look after the children of a rich widower, Captain Von Trapp. Maria is horrified at how strictly he treats the kids and soon works her magic on the family, who all fall for her charms. The story takes a sinister turn, however, when the Nazis arrive in Austria, demanding the captain's services, and the family must plot its escape.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
