Synopsis: In 1930's Austria, a young woman named Maria is failing miserably in her attempts to become a nun. When the Navy captain Georg Von Trapp writes to the convent asking for a governess that can handle his seven mischievous children, Maria is given the job. The Captain's wife is dead, and he is often away, and runs the household as strictly as he does the ships he sails on. The children are unhappy and resentful of the governesses that their father keeps hiring, and have managed to run each of them off one by one. When Maria arrives, she is initially met with the same hostility, but her 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. Eventually he and Maria find themselves falling in love, even though Georg is already engaged to a Baroness and Maria is still a postulant. The romance makes them both start questioning the decisions they have made. Their personal conflicts soon become overshadowe

Nor have you asked me why I'm here.

Apparently we both suffer

from a deplorable lack of curiosity.

You never answered the telegram...

...from the Admiral of the Navy

of the Third Reich.

I was under the impression,

Herr Zeller...

...that the contents of telegrams

in Austria are private!

At least, the Austria I know.

I have my orders...

...to take you

to Bremerhaven tonight...

...where you will accept

your commission.

I'm afraid that's going to be

quite impossible.

You see, we...

...all of us, the entire family,

will be...

...singing in the festival tonight.

As a matter of fact, we're going now.

We couldn't possibly

let them down now.

- I just hope we're not too late.

- Yes.

You ask me to believe that you,

Captain von Trapp...

...are singing in a concert?

Believe me, it will be a performance

beyond anything even I've dreamt of.

Like you, Herr Zeller,

I, too, am a man of hidden talents.

Yes.

Here, program.

It says only the names

of the children.

It says

the von Trapp Family Singers...

...and I am the head of

the von Trapp family, am I not?

And these travel clothes

that you're all wearing?

Our costumes, naturally.

This night air is not good

for the children's voices.

Well, a slight delay in my orders

will not be serious.

Therefore...

...you will sing.

You will all sing.

But only because that's what I want.

It will demonstrate that nothing

in Austria has changed.

And when you have finished singing...

...you, Captain von Trapp, will be

taken to Bremerhaven.

Now, if you will all get

into your car...

...we will escort the von Trapp Family

Singers to the festival.

No escort will be necessary.

Necessary? A pleasure, captain.

After all, we would not want you

to get lost in the crowds.

Would we?

No.

Sew, a needle pulling thread

La, a note to follow sew

Tea, a drink with jam and bread

A drink with jam and bread

Tea with jam

Jam and bread

- With jam

- A, B, C

- With jam

- Do-re-mi

Tea with jam and bread

With jam and bread

With jam

With jam...

...and bread

My fellow Austrians...

...I shall not be seeing you again,

perhaps for a very long time.

I would like to sing for you now...

...a love song.

I know you share this love.

I pray that you will never let it die.

Edelweiss

Edelweiss

Every morning you greet me

Small and white

Clean and bright

You look happy to meet me

Blossom of snow

May you bloom and grow

Bloom and grow forever

Edelweiss

Edelweiss

Bless my homeland forever

Edelweiss

Edel...

Small and white

Clean and bright

You look happy to meet me

Blossom of snow

May you bloom and grow

Bloom and grow forever

Edelweiss

Edelweiss

Bless my homeland forever

I think it'll work.

I shall miss all of you.

I shall miss the money

I could have made with you.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

The competition has come

to its conclusion...

...except, we don't know

yet what that conclusion will be.

And while the judges

arrive at their decision...

...I have been given permission

to offer you an encore.

This will be the last opportunity

the von Trapps will have...

...of singing together

for a long, long time.

Even now, officials are waiting

in this auditorium...

...to escort Captain von Trapp

to his new command...

...in the naval forces

of the Third Reich.

And so, ladies and gentlemen,

the family von Trapp again...

...to bid you farewell.

There's a sad sort of clanging

From the clock in the hall

And the bells in the steeple too

And up in the nursery

An absurd little bird

Is popping out to say "coo-coo"

Coo-coo

Coo-coo

Regretfully they tell us

But firmly they compel us

To say goodbye

To you

So long, farewell

Auf Wiedersehen, good night

We hate to go

And miss this pretty sight

So long, farewell

Auf Wiedersehen, adieu

Adieu, adieu

To you and you and you

So long, farewell

Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye

We flit, we float

We fleetly flee, we fly

So long, farewell

Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye

The sun has gone to bed

And so must I

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Ladies and gentlemen, I have here the

decision of our distinguished judges.

We will start with the award

for third prize.

For this honor,

the judges have named...

...the first soloist of the choir

of St. Agatha's Church in Murback.

Frulein Schweiger.

Second prize

to The Toby Reiser Quintet.

And the first prize,

the highest honor in all Austria...

...the von Trapp Family Singers.

The family von Trapp.

They're gone!

Come with me.

Quickly, quickly.

I have a place you can hide.

Slowly, slowly.

Open this gate.

Good evening.

Hurry up, woman.

Two men in there.

Six of you cover the yard.

You two, cover the corridor.

Reverend Mother, we didn't realize

we put the abbey in this danger.

No, Maria, it was right for you

to come here.

We thought we might borrow

your car.

I'm afraid our car will do you

no good now.

I've been listening to the wires.

The borders have just been closed.

All right,

if the borders are closed...

...then we'll drive up into the hills

and go over the mountains on foot.

- The children...

- We'll help them.

We can do it without help, Father.

Maria.

You will not be alone.

Remember:

"I will lift up mine eyes unto

the hills from whence cometh my help."

Yes, Mother.

- I'm scared.

- Me too.

God be with you.

- Mother.

- Yes?

Would it help if we sang

about our favorite things?

No, darling.

This is one time it would not help.

You must be very quiet.

Hold tight to me.

Let's try the roof.

Rolfe, please.

No, wait.

Maria.

Children.

It's you we want, not them.

Put that down.

Not another move,

or I'll shoot.

You're only a boy.

- You don't really belong to them.

- Stay where you are.

Come away with us.

Before it's too late.

Not another step.

I'll kill you.

- You give that to me, Rolfe.

- Did you hear me?

I'll kill you.

Rolfe.

You'll never be one of them.

Lieutenant!

They're here!

They're here, lieutenant!

Reverend Mother.

I have sinned.

I too, Reverend Mother.

What is this sin, my children?
