The Sound of Music

The Richard Rodgers-Oscar Hammerstein II musical The Sound of Music was based on the book The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp. The story was made into an award winning film, released in 1965. It was selected by the United States Library of Congress to be preserved in the National Film Registry in 2001, as it was deemed a significant part of film history.

1. The elder of the two women in Austrian peasant garb in the background as Maria walks through a brick archway during "I Have Confidence" is the real Maria von Trapp
2. Maria’s foster parents raised her as socialist without much religious affiliation
3. In the boating scene, Kym Karath (Gretl) nearly drowned when she fell in the water
4. Christopher Plummer has been known to refer to the film as "The Sound of Mucus" and compared working with Julie Andrews to "being hit over the head with a big Valentine's Day card, every day."
5. In Spain the film is known as Smiles and Tears, in France, The Melody of Happiness, in Argentina, The Rebellious Novice, and Austria, My Songs - My Dreams
