Magical, heart-warming story.....Maria....The Sound Of Music....so much like mine but sadly my Von Tropp is happily married and settled in life

Maria had longed to be a nun since she was a young girl, yet when she became old enough discovered that it wasn't at all what she thought. She was too spirited and full of life to be one.

Often in trouble and doing the wrong things, Maria is sent to the house of a retired naval captain, named Captain Von Trapp, as a governess.

Von Trapp was widowed several years before and was left to care for seven 'rowdy' children. Baron Trapp runs his home near Salzburg like the ship he once commanded. The children have run off countless governesses.

Maria soon learns that all these children need is a little love to change their attitudes. Maria teaches the children to sing. She brings music & love back into the hearts of the children and the Captain. From a gloomy place of discipline and order, she changes the entire household.

Maria and Trapp are falling in love but the Captain is engaged and Maria is a postulant!



The happy ending comes when Maria & Von Trapp Marry but have to leave Austria as he has to take a position in the Navy round the time the Nazis were in Power. The Sound of Music is based on a true story. This is one of the best films I have seen and will always be a classic.
