Maria von Trapp's bestselling book revealed her uplifting journey from would-be-nun to determined governess of seven gifted but mischievous children, further chronicling her marriage to a retired naval officer and their daring escape from the Nazis in the early days of World War II.

Director/Producer Robert Wise worked closely with screenwriter Ernest Lehman and his actors to purge overt sentimentality and reshape the previously established narrative, resulting in a surprisingly serious exploration of faith, destiny, and ultimately the courage to do what's right.
