“The Sound of Music” (20th Century-Fox, 1965). Original U.S. Title Lobby Card. Artwork by Howard Terpning
Based on the 1949 memoir “The Story of the Trapp Family Singers” by Maria von Trapp, the film is about a young Austrian postulant in Salzburg, Austria, in 1938 who is sent to the villa of a retired naval officer and widower to be governess to his seven children. After bringing love and music into the lives of the family, she marries the officer and, together with the children, finds a way to survive the loss of their homeland to the Nazis.
In 1998, the American Film Institute (AFI) listed “The Sound of Music” as the fifty-fifth greatest American movie of all time, and the fourth greatest movie musical. In 2001, the U.S. Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” [Source: Wikipedia]
