The screening featured a restored version of the musical and it opened the TCM Classic Film Festival that runs through Sunday.

The restored 4K version of the film also will be screened at over 500 movie theatres in April.

The 1965 film was an adaptation of the hit Broadway play by Rodgers & Hammerstein and both provided a fictionalized account of the life of Maria von Trapp.

The Sound Of Music told the story of a 1930s governess who teaches her charges to sing and falls in love with her employer, naval captain Georg von Trapp, as well as the family's flight before World War II.

The film popularized whiskers on kittens and warm woolen mittens and its 50th anniversary has been celebrated fittingly given its revered position among American movie musicals.

The milestone was being honoured by 20th Century Fox with the release of a five-disc Blue-ray/DVD collection and the soundtrack also was being re-released.
