The Sound of Music

Best Picture and Best Director were among the 5 Oscars won by this perennial family favourite.

Austria in the 1930s is the setting for the Rodgers and Hammersmith musical, with an almost career defining performance by Julie Andrews as Maria.

The movie’s enduring popularity makes its original movie posters and Lobby Cards very sought after.

Note that this original UK Quad poster is the much rarer ‘TODD-AO’ version, meaning it was used when the film was very first released in the UK in the  wide-screen TODD-AO roadshow version.  Later printings had this wording replaced with ‘A Cinemascope production’.
