OVERVIEW:
In Salzburg, Austria, just before World War II, a problematic postulant nun, Maria, is sent from her abbey to be governess to the seven children of a widower, Navy Captain Georg von Trapp. Maria falls in love with the children and eventually the Captain. After they marry, he is ordered to accept a commission for the German navy. They devise a plan to flee Austria and the Nazis with their children.
