At the beginning, the nuns think of Maria as a nuisance. They sing a song called "Maria" in which they complain about different things she does, including climbing a tree, ripping her dress, wearing curlers under her habit, singing when she shouldn't be, and being late to everything. They believe she is a nice girl, but that she isn't made out to be a nun. However, they do help her later on by housing her when she runs away, allowing her to get married at the abbey, and hiding her family from the Nazis.

Were there black nuns in Austria in the thirties as was portrayed in the sound of music last night on NBC?

The portrayal of black nuns in "The Sound of Music" is not historically accurate, as the film is set in Austria during the late 1930s, a time and place where the population was predominantly white. While there were certainly people of African descent in Europe, including Austria, they were quite rare, and documented instances of black nuns during that period are limited. The film's representation reflects more modern interpretations and inclusivity rather than historical reality.
