  1. This is the most cherished film of all musicals. The kids were just adorable characters. This is definitely a family movie.

  2. What an awesome movie, a favourite in our house. My husband and I used to enjoy it when we were young and our kids love it too.

  3. A young nun is thrown into a spiralling romance with an older, dashing
    naval officer whom she is assigned to work for as a governess. The
    movie moves from stormy first impressions, marriage and finally a flight
    for security and freedom from Hitler’s occupation of Austria.

  4. This is a wonderful family oriented classic about a young nun who is
    sent to be a nanny for an ex-naval officer with 7 children. His wife has
    passed away, and he stays away from home and from anything that reminds
    him of her, including his children. The young nun treats the children
    as children, teaching them to sing and dance and play.
    Just love this movie and can see it again and again

  5. I DONT KNOW ABOUT MY KIDS BUT I KNOW I SO LOVE THIS MOVIE AND ARE STILL SINGING THE SONGS ALL THE TIME

  6. Its a magical movie. I love the soundof the music song and know it by
    heart. Just imagine having to look after those horrible seven children.
    This movie is a classic and the next 100 year still will be a
    favourite. My little kids may not understand Maria but they love the
    pranks the children pull.

  7. I think i saw this film about 5 times as a child – which was a lot back then as we had no video!

    I bought the DVD for my own children about 3 years ago and they LOVE it!

    We all sit together on a rainy day and snuggle down to watch an all time favourite.

    Highly recommended
