The halls of the Iowa City Public Library will be filled with the sound of music Wednesday, March 4, during our film screening and sing-along.
The film version starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer celebrates its 50th Anniversary this year. It was originally released on March 2, 1965.
The Sound of Music is about a young woman who leaves an Austrian convent to become a governess to the seven children of a naval officer widower. The movie is an adaptation of the 1959 Broadway musical of the same name. Both the film and the musical are based on the book The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp.
The movie begins at 7 p.m. in Meeting Room A on March 4. Singing on key is not required, and we'll leave the captioning on for the words. Free popcorn will be provided.
For more information, call the Library at (319) 356-5200.
