How do you get your sister to stop singing the song do re mi from the sound of music?
I suggest you play another song (probably bets if you like it) that's really catchy so it will stay in her head for a while, and she'd be more likely to sing that instead. Pop songs are possibly the best genre to use, but others can work.

During what years does the main setting of the sound of music take place?

Why didn't Mary Martin star in Sound of Music movie?
One of the main reasons why she did not play the role in the film was because she was too old. When the movie was shooting she was about 50 years old when the character of Maria is about 20-21. It was ok on Broadway because the audience would not notice the age so much, but with a camera it would have been different.
In addition, the "good ole boys" in Hollywood had a "box office" mentality and often replaced Broadway stars with known movie box office names that would likely draw an "audience". Take the example of Julie Andrews being replaced in "My Fair Lady" by Audrey Hepburn or Carol Channing in "Hello Dolly" being replaced by Barbra Streisand. Hepburn couldn't sing well enough to carry the musical role and had to be "voice dubbed" by Marni Nixon. Barbra, while loveable, really missed the boat in "Dolly". Jack Warner made the choice for Hepburn.
Notably, Julie Andrews got the final dig at Jack Warner for his poor decision replacing her by verbally gigging him as she accepted her Academy Award for "Mary Poppins". Her comment "I'd like to thank the person who is most responsible for making THIS award possible, Jack Warner," gave her the the final laugh. Since she was not busy filming "My Fair Lady" she had plenty of time to take the role of Mary Poppins. The Disney team knew talent when they saw it. Later while accepting an award, Warner, made a fumbling stab at a "clever rebuttal" which failed miserably.
After the successes of "Mary Poppins", Andrews was now a "box office hit" so a whole new opportunity had opened up, including "The Sound of Music", which, as we know now is HISTORY!
Curiously, Audrey Hepburn was considered by the original director, William Wyler for the role of Maria and would have "bumped out" Julie Andrews yet again. After a fortuitous change of directors to Robert Wise, Andrews was selected and his first choice. Other possible leading ladies including Shirley Jones, Anne Bancroft. Doris Day and Leslie Caron were all reported to have been considered for the role of Maria.
