Don’t miss the chance to introduce your kids to The Sound of Music while once again enjoying the musical adventures of a restless governess creatively managing seven unruly children and their father in the beautiful hills of Salzburg. Adapted from the successful 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein stage musical based on Maria Augusta von Trapp’s 1949 autobiography, The Sound of Music film project was initially given low priority from 20th Century Fox, which was nearly bankrupt after the excesses of Cleopatra. Darryl Zanuck in fact considered it a risk because Maria was played by a then relatively unknown Julie Andrews (her debut Mary Poppins (1964) had yet to be released when filming began). Nominated for ten Academy Awards, The Sound of Music won five, including Best Picture, and is ranked today as the fifth highest-grossing film in history. We are screening the restored digital version of this spectacular classic in musical entertainment!
