The Sound of Music: Vintage Two-tape VHS

This vintage two-tape VHS set of The Sound of Music remains sealed in its original shrink-wrap, making it a collectible item. Robert Wise produced and directed this 1965 American musical drama, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. The film adapts the 1959 stage musical, based on Maria von Trapp’s 1949 memoir, chronicling her experiences as governess to seven children, her marriage, and their escape during the 1938 Anschluss in Salzburg, Austria. We received this VHS set donated new in its original shrink-wrap.

A Heartwarming Musical Story

This film tells a tuneful, heartwarming story. It draws from the real lives of the Von Trapp Family singers. They were a well-known concert group, gaining fame just before World War II. Julie Andrews plays Maria, a tomboyish postulant. She becomes a governess in a widowed naval captain’s home, caring for his seven children. Maria brings a new love of life and music into their home.

Beloved Cast and Direction

Julie Andrews delivers an iconic performance as Maria. Christopher Plummer excels as Captain Georg von Trapp. Robert Wise’s direction skillfully brings the musical to life. The supporting cast also provides memorable performances. This film remains cherished by many viewers.

Based on a True Story

The Sound of Music finds its roots in Maria von Trapp’s 1949 memoir. It recounts her experiences as a governess. Her eventual marriage to Captain von Trapp is also central. Their dramatic escape from Austria during World War II forms a powerful part of the narrative.
