Staged at London's 3 Mills Studios and broadcast for Christmas week on ITV, this acclaimed take on the Rodgers and Hammerstein staple was headlined by Kara Tointon as the effervescent novitiate-cum-nanny Maria and Julian Ovenden as the rigid Captain Von Trapp, who'd ultimately be as charmed as his children by their charge. Alexander Armstrong, Katherine Kelley, Maria Friedman, Mel Giedroyc also star. 155 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
