The Sound of Music | Plot, Cast, Awards, & Facts


The Sound of Music, which takes place during the late 1930s, opens on a sweeping view of the Austrian Alps and a young woman, Maria (played by Julie Andrews), singing. When she hears church bells, she hurries back to the abbey, where she is a postulant, but she arrives too late for the church service. She tries to explain herself to the Mother Abbess (Peggy Wood), who tells her that she is to take up a position as governess to the seven children of the widowed former naval officer Captain Georg von Trapp (Christopher Plummer). When she arrives to take up her post, she learns that the captain requires military discipline from his children (ranging in age from 5 to 16) and expects the same from Maria. After dinner the eldest, Liesl (Charmian Carr), sneaks out to meet with Rolfe (Daniel Truhitte), a telegraph messenger. Maria’s warmth and kindness quickly win the children’s affection. ....

Christopher Plummer: a fierce yet tender talent that flourished when he was let off the leash
Peter Bradshaw
It is 1938, and the cynical music impresario Max Detweiler is at the lakeside home of his friend Captain Georg von Trapp in Salzburg, where the conversation has turned to the disagreeable subject of the Nazis and Austria’s imminent Anschluss with Germany. “You know I have no political convictions,” shrugs Detweiler evasively. “Can I help it if other people do?” Von Trapp’s responding flash of anger is a genuinely compelling and grownup moment in this movie – the 1965 hit musical The Sound of Music: “Oh, yes, you can help it. You must help it.” Playing Von Trapp, Christopher Plummer’s face becomes fierce and hawkish with contempt for all those who do nothing and allow evil to flourish. ....
