The Sound of Music

They escaped from Austria. They however did not escape the way that was depicted in the film. In real life they told friends they were going on a cruise to Italy and took a boat to the US. If they had escaped the way depicted in the film they would have walked right past Hitlers house.

In The Sound of Music, the Mother Abbess is the head of the convent and is played by Peggy Wood. Her subordinates are Sister Margaretta (Anna Lee) and Sister Berthe (Portia Nelson), the two sisters who argue Maria's merits. Wood was nominated for, but did not win, the 1966 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for this performance.

Daniel Truhitte

In the movie The Sound of Music, the song "16 going on 17" is sung by Leisl (Charmian Carr) and Rolfe (Daniel Truhitte) in the garden outside the family home. A huge thunderstorm ensues so the characters run to the gazebo where their well-known song-and-dance is performed. It is later reprised with Maria (Julie Andrews) and Leisl singing in the drawing room after Maria's return from her honeymoon.

The name of the family was the Von Trapps. The father was a reserve duty Naval officer and was recalled to service in the late thirties, this was the major crisis of the plot, of course this toiok place in Nazi-occupied Austria. there were a good many references to Foreign Culture, Politics and religion, the last two long off-base topics for Broadway, let alone Hollywood. The lead female character was an Ex-Nun, this was alluded to, with( Obviously) Musical talents. (Maria) while styled as a Musical comedy except for some rather Juvenile ( like Hey There- High there Ho There) of Mickey Mouse fame- done with, I would guess stacked stairs or maybe springboards the plot was almost devoid of comedy. I saw it in l962 o 63 and turned me off- I was a kid at the time. also, the Armed Forces and Police are shown in a Negative light- Just Imagine, say Phil Spector and the Ronettes, on tour, pursued by diligent FBI men intent on Phil"s arrest!- amn odd idea, then maybe for draft resistance. But Mr. Spector was too short for regular Army service anyhow! No such plauy would fly, would it?

Sort of. The musical was what interested him to it in the first place. He did the songs and pre-production, but during post-production it was established that his voice was not up to par. After this they brought in someone else to sing for the captain

Capt. Von Trapp had seven children. Watch the sound of music it tell the whole story. After the time frame of the movie, Captain Von Trapp married the governess and had 3 more children making a total of 10 children.

It won eight 1984 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actor (F. Murray Abraham), Best Director (Milos Forman), Adapted Screenplay (Peter Shaffer), Art Direction, Costume Design, Makeup and Sound.

The PLAY was written and produced by the (Tolerance Twins) Dick Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein, who seemed to gravitate to offbeat and controversial plot lines- for example the admixture of studied ugliness in (Oklahoma), the Race-Mixing angle in South Pacific, and so on. The tale was inspired in part by the factual Von Trapp family but the play, as usual took some liberties with the facts as artistic license., Oddly a road company variant- identical in script, songs, characters, bore the different title-though very descriptive, (One Family Sings). I saw this in Williamsport, Pa. in l962 and it turned me off like a dead battery. so called Musical comedy had much music but almost negatory comedy touches.

His name is Max, but you have the relationship wrong. He is not Elsa's brother. He is Captain Von Trapps friend-which is why the children call him Uncle Max.

The Sound of Music is based on a true story. In real life, Maria, who really was a nun, was sent to Captain von Trapp to take care of his sickly daughter. Eventually, they fell in love and got married. World War 2 forced them to leave Austria and at that time, Maria was pregnant with a son. And then she wrote a book called "The Story of the von Trapp Singers," which was made into "The Sound of Music." The names of the children were not the real actual names and some of the characters weren't real, either.

Yes, the movie 'The Sound of Music' was filmed in color.

Julie Andrews lost her voice by having a surgery on a benign tumor on her vocal chords. The surgery was not supposed to cause the loss of her voice. However, she continues to work on her voice and has done a couple concerts in the past couple years.

Yes they do. In the end of 16 Going on 17 as he leaves he plants a kiss on Lesil and she spins and yells with glee. It is very inocent though.

The high decibels from powerful loudspeakers can damage your hearing over a long time. Such damage is often found in band members that play music loudly.

So that everyone else could enjoy the music as the composer was able to envision it in his/her mind. Music is the international language of the world.

Categorically NO! this actress was not either the stage or film version. Mary Martin on Broadway, and Julie Andrews in the movie version. Roz nowheres to be found though she was a religious type.

The Real Von Trapp children did like Marie as there governess, however, they did not want their father to marry her. In real life, in my opinion, Marie was a jerk. She secluded the children and when the oldest girl announced she was going to get married, Marie locked her in her room for days, finally, the girl climbed out her bedroom window and eloped. Marie did this sort of thing to a few of her children. I feel she was very mean to her children. She was only worried about the singing group. That's why the children could only see each other. Then they wouldn't know what they were missing.

The songs sung by the children in The Sound of Music were done by the children in the film. For some instances they added other children ( including Charmain Carr's sister Darleen) but they were all singing their own songs. The only part not sung by the children was when Curt was showing off during the party with his goodbye. When it got high the voice was that of Darleen Carr. Julie Andrews did her own singing as well. Christopher Plumber wanted to do his own singing, but was overdubbed in post production.

Together, Richard Rodgers wrote the music and Oscar Hammerstein II wrote the lyrics for all of the songs in "The Sound of Music" except for 'I Have Confidence' and 'Something Good', music and lyrics by Richard Rodgers.
