{5\/5} “Somewhere out there is a lady who I think will never be a nun. Auf Wiedersehen, darling.”<\/p>\n
At the convent everyone likes Maria — except when she’s difficult. The Mother Superior decides to send Maria out into the world to be a governess, to see how she does at that. So Maria becomes a governess for the von Trapp family — Captain von Trapp’s wife has died and he has 7 children. The children have been not-so-nice to their previous governesses and the captain seems cold and distant. What has Maria gotten herself into this time?<\/p>\n
The Sound of Music<\/strong> was released in 1965.<\/p>\n It’s based on a true story. Like most movies based on true stories, the real story was a bit different (for example, they left Austria by train without anyone chasing them).<\/p>\n Like most musicals, the story in the movie is a bit simplistic — but it’s 3 hours long so it covers a fair bit of ground.<\/p>\n It’s one of the best musicals ever — every single song is highly memorable. The songs were written by the team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II (South Pacific<\/strong>). The score is by Irwin Kostal (Mary Poppins<\/strong>).<\/p>\n You can tell that at least some of the movie was filmed on location in Salzburg.<\/p>\n I just discovered a couple of interesting things — Christopher Plummer’s singing was dubbed and the real Maria von Trapp had a cameo.<\/p>\n Julie Andrew (Mary Poppins<\/strong>) plays Maria and Christopher Plummer (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country<\/strong>) plays Captain von Trapp.<\/p>\n Eleanor Parker (The Man with the Golden Arm<\/strong>) plays the Baroness and Richard Haydn (Young Frankenstein<\/strong>) plays Max. Peggy Wood (A Star is Born<\/strong>) plays Mother Abbess.<\/p>\n The movie was directed by Robert Wise (West Side Story<\/strong>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {5\/5} “Somewhere out there is a lady who I think will never be a nun.
