    ABOUT THE SOUND OF MUSIC
    Produced and directed by Robert Wise, and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, with Richard Haydn and Eleanor Parker. The film is an adaptation of the 1959 Broadway musical of the same name, composed by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. The film's screenplay was written by Ernest Lehman, adapted from the stage musical's book by Lindsay and Crouse. Based on the memoir The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp, the film is about a young Austrian woman studying to become a nun in Salzburg in 1938 who is sent to the villa of a retired naval officer and widower to be governess to his seven children. After bringing and teaching love and music into the lives of the family through kindness and patience, she marries the officer and together with the children they find a way to survive the loss of their homeland through courage and faith.
    The film was released on March 2, 1965 in the United States, initially as a limited roadshow theatrical release. Although critical response to the film was widely mixed, the film was a major commercial success, becoming the number one box office movie after four weeks, and the highest-grossing film of 1965. By November 1966, The Sound of Music had become the highest-grossing film of all-time-surpassing Gone with the Wind-and held that distinction for five years. The film was just as popular throughout the world, breaking previous box-office records in twenty-nine countries. Following an initial theatrical release that lasted four and a half years, and two successful re-releases, the film sold 283 million admissions worldwide and earned a total worldwide gross of $286,000,000.
    The Sound of Music received five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. The film also received two Golden Globe Awards, for Best Motion Picture and Best Actress, the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement, and the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Written American Musical. In 1998, the American Film Institute (AFI) listed The Sound of Music as the fifty-fifth greatest American movie of all time, and the fourth greatest movie musical. In 2001, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
    ABOUT RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN
    After long and highly distinguished careers with other collaborators, Richard Rodgers (Composer, 1902-1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (Librettist/Lyricist, 1895-1960) joined forces in 1943 to create the most successful partnership in American musical theater. Prior to joining forces, Rodgers collaborated with lyricist Lorenz Hart on musical comedies that epitomized wit and sophistication (Pal Joey, On Your Toes, Babes In Arms and more), while Hammerstein brought new life to operetta and created the classic Show Boat with Jerome Kern. Oklahoma!, the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, introduced an integrated form that became known as “the musical play.” Their shows that followed included Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music. Collectively, the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals have earned Tony, Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer, and Olivier Awards. The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization is a Concord Company, www.concord.com.

      Good job your dad did. Watching the flick now, I think they dubbed EVERYBODY except JULIE and those NUNS! When the kids sing, it sounds like a generic chorus, instead of little children! Am I right, or did they just sweeten some of the folks? I admit I was pissed about the weest girls dissing of the tv version of 'TSOM', so like to take digs at the old favorite! ( The tv special was doing THE STAGE PLAY, not the film!)
      Was anybody else undubbed or unsweetened, even CHARMAINE CARR? Do you know?

    Eleanor Parker’s performance as the The Baroness is underrated. She’s very subtle, and makes what could have been a pantomime ‘wicked stepmother’ a surprisingly nuanced and interesting character.
    It’s her reactions here that tell us that Maria is in love with the Captain, rather than anything Julie Andrews herself does.
    Very clever.

    • @ty_hens
      @ty_hens 3 года назад +231

      Agreed, it was great decision to have us come to the realization before Maria. It exemplifies Maria's inner thoughts of not being competent enough, and feeling she is in a lower class than him. It makes everyone wonder why he would be seeing her instead of the Baroness.
      The Baroness was really well written. Instead of being the wicked stepmom, as you mentioned, its more of a tragic but inevitable story of her progressively slipping from his sight. Much more emotionally captivating, and gives us a bittersweet feeling when things start to wrap up.

      Something I’d love to see one day would be a serious, historically accurate to the letter, biopic of the Von Trapps.
      The Sound of Music is a stone cold classic but is of course a musical fantasy inspired by their story.
      It would be fascinating to see a true depiction, much wider in scope, detailing Maria and Georg’s marriage, their own children, Father Franz Wasner’s role in the formation of the ‘Trapp Family Choir’, their experience under Nazi annexation which included Captain Von Trapp meeting Hitler and being ‘requested’ to perform at his birthday, their move to America, the death of Georg, the use of their home as a 27-room ski lodge, the writing of Maria’s autobiography and culminating in the making of the Sound of Music movie.

    I just realised - if Liesl was 16 here, and Gretl is 5, then their mother must have died when Liesl was 11... so she would have definitely remembered her father singing and being happy/nice to his children. It must have been horrible for her to suddenly have things change to the way they were at the beginning of the film. :( I just noticed that because of how happy Liesl seems at 1:12 to have her father back!

      To better appreciate the meaning of Oscar Hammerstein’s Edelweiss lyrics,
      one needs to know that he was dying of stomach cancer when he wrote the “last song for the “Sound of Music Musical”. It is the last song because the early audience of the Broadway Show of this musical asked “ Why did all the family of Von Trapp sing but the Captain did not sing??
      So Hammerstein was asked to quickly come up with the lyrics that would accompany the melody Mr. Rogers would right…a farewell song melody… I believe Hammerstein dying of cancer is imagining himself transitioning from farewell Earth to Hello…into “his homeland heaven greeted by a beautiful white flower every morning” Imagine it is the end of winter in Heaven & the first flower of Spring in Heaven's homeland is this white flower happy to greet him……” “May you bloom and grow Bloom and grow forever... Edelweiss...Edelweiss... Bless my homeland forever...(Time does not exist in Heaven, Edelweiss blooms FOREVER!!!) From Wikipedia..”Richard Rodgers felt Captain von Trapp should have a song with which he would “bid farewell “ to the Austria he knew and loved.[1] Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II decided to write an extra song that von Trapp would sing towards the end of the show.[2] …. Edelweiss" is the last song Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote together; Hammerstein was suffering from stomach cancer,[3] which took his life nine months.

      Viewers also had no idea that it's wasn't Plummer's voice on the song. The plan was to have him sing, but despite lessons he took before filming, his singing voice proved far from film quality (especially when juxtaposed with Julie Andrews) and a professional singer named Bill Lee was brought in to overdub his singing parts. Plummer explains in his autobiography that he was terrified when they brought him into a studio to record the song, and that Julie Andrews held his had to try and settle him. Plummer learned that singing is very different than acting.

So I would guess that would mean that he's not much of a singer which is unknown as to why he auditioned to be in this film which is a musical since I thought people who love to sing audition for musicals. On the other hand, I would guess that actor Rick Moranis is not much of a singer too but, he auditioned for the movie "Little Shop Of Horrors" which is a musical.

    My favorite scene along w/ their dance. After realizing what the meaning was as they sang it during the festival, it's even more special.
