A young novitiate is sent by her convent in 1930s Austria to become a governess to the seven children of a widowed naval officer.

Free-spirited young novice Maria (Julie Andrews) leaves the Nonnberg Abbey in Salzburg, Austria to become governess to the seven children of Navy captain and widower Georg von Trapp. Captain Trapp runs his household on the basis of strict military discipline and the resentful children have managed to see off a series of governesses. However, Maria's kindness, understanding and sense of fun soon draws them to her and brings some much-needed joy into all their lives - including the Captain's, who ends up marrying her. Following the Anschluss, the Captain finds that he must report to a German Naval base to accept a commission in the German Navy. Believing in the old Austria, and strongly opposed to the Nazis, he is unprepared to work for the new regime, and so he uses his family's participation in the Salzburg Festival as a means of giving the Nazis the slip and taking his family to safety in Switzerland. <BoyActors>
