The biggest hit of the 1960s, The Sound of Music is basically Jane Eyre crossed with Snow White: Julie Andrews is the novice nun Maria sent to mind seven little von Trapps and falling in love with their forbidding father, widower Captain von Trapp (Christopher Plummer). The Evil Queen, in this case, would be (an unseen) Adolf Hitler, because we are in Austria, 1938. The Rogers and Hammerstein tunes include Maria, Do-Re-Mi, Climb Every Mountain, Edelweiss and My Favourite Things.

Also Playing
Frankenstein
Frankenstein and Guillermo del Toro might have been made for each other. The movie does not disappoint, a ripping yarn of grand adventure, spectacle, hubris, passion and XXL body parts, a tale of the fantastic that rings the imagination. Screening in 35mm.
James Whale's Frankenstein (1931)
"It's alive!" Nearly a century later this iconic take on Mary Shelley's novel still kicks: the production design is impressive, Whale's lean, angular direction has plenty of snap, and Boris Karloff imbues the monster with no little pathos.
Bride of Frankenstein
Funnier, more outrageous, and just as goth as the 1931 hit, this is a black comedy about mad scientists playing god, the monstrous craving for a mate, about the ultimate male-order bride, and her indelible response to being married off to a mouldier man.
