A four-volume set of classic films for Christmas. 'The Sound of
Music' (1965) is set in Austria in the 1930s. Ex-nun Maria (Julie
Andrews) becomes the governess for a family of seven children who
live in the shadow of their domineering and repressed widower
father (Christopher Plummer). She brings love, music and excitement
into the children's lives and also eventually begins to have an
effect on their father. But just when things are looking up, the
rise of Nazism and the threat of the coming war darkens all their
futures. Includes a host of memorable songs, such as 'Do-Re-Mi',
'Climb Ev'ry Mountain', and 'My Favourite Things'. In the Dickens
classic 'A Christmas Carol' (1984), miserly Ebenezer Scrooge
(George C. Scott) is a misanthrope unimpressed by the fuss everyone
makes during the festive season. That is, until his sleep is
disturbed one Christmas Eve by the ghosts of Christmas past,
present and future, each of which takes him on a journey which
helps him to open his heart to his fellow man and to thereby learn
the joy of Christmas. In 'Miracle On 34th Street' (1947), Doris
Walker (Maureen O'Hara), an executive at Macy's department store,
believes in taking a common-sense approach to life and is
consequently raising her daughter Susan (Natalie Wood) not to
believe in Santa Claus. This year however, the convictions of both
mother and child are challenged when the kindly old man (Edmund
Gwenn) hired as the store Santa insists that he is in fact the real
thing. No one believes him, some even think he's insane, but he is
willing to go to court to prove his case. Finally, in 'Chitty
Chitty Bang Bang' (1968), inventor Caractacus Potts (Dick Van Dyke)
acquires a run-down racing car and renovates it for his children,
Jeremy (Adrian Hall) and Jemima (Heather Ripley), making a few
extra improvements along the way. The car, christened Chitty Chitty
Bang Bang, now has the ability to fly, and takes the Potts and
their friend, Truly Scrumptious (Sally Ann Howes) on an exciting
adventure. Arriving in the kingdom of wicked Baron Bomburst (Gert
Frobe), they find themselves pursued by the evil Child Catcher
(Robert Helpmann), while the Baron, desperate to get his hands on
the car, kidnaps Jeremy and Jemima's grandfather (Lionel Jeffries)
by mistake.
