Lehman's first and only choice for Maria was Julie Andrews. When Wise joined the project, he made a list of his choices for the role, which included Andrews as his first choice, Grace Kelly, and Shirley Jones. Wise and Lehman went to Disney Studios to view footage from Mary Poppins, which was not yet released. A few minutes into the film, Wise told Lehman, "Let's go sign this girl before somebody else sees this film and grabs her!" Andrews had some reservations-mainly about the amount of sweetness in the theatrical version-but when she learned that her concerns were shared by Wise and Lehman and what their vision was, she signed a contract with Fox to star in The Sound of Music and one other film for $225,000 (equivalent to $1,850,000 in 2019). Wise had a more difficult time casting the role of the Captain. A number of actors were considered for the part, including Bing Crosby, Yul Brynner, Sean Connery, and Richard Burton. Wise had seen Christopher Plummer on Broadway and wanted him for the role, but the stage actor turned down the offer several times. Wise flew to London to meet with Plummer and explained his concept of the film; the actor accepted after being assured that he could work with Lehman to improve the character.
Wise also spent considerable time and effort on casting the secondary characters. For the role of Max Detweiler, Wise initially considered Victor Borge, Noël Coward, and Hal Holbrook among others before deciding on Richard Haydn. For the character of Baroness Elsa Schraeder, Wise looked for a "name" actress-Andrews and Plummer were not yet widely known to film audiences-and decided on Eleanor Parker. The casting of the children characters began in November 1963 and involved over two hundred interviews and auditions throughout the United States and England. Some of the child-actors interviewed or tested, who were not selected, included Mia Farrow, Patty Duke, Lesley Ann Warren, Geraldine Chaplin, Shelley Fabares, Teri Garr, Kurt Russell, and The Osmonds. Most of the actors selected had some acting, singing, or dancing experience. Charmian Carr, however, was a model who worked part-time in a doctor's office and had no ambition to pursue a career as an actress. After a friend sent her photo to Wise's office, she was asked to interview. Wise later recalled, "She was so pretty and had such poise and charm that we liked her immediately." The last person to be cast was Daniel Truhitte in the role of Rolfe.
Rehearsals for the singing and dance sequences began on February 10, 1964. The husband-and-wife team of Marc Breaux and Dee Dee Wood, who had worked with Andrews on Mary Poppins, worked out the choreography with Saul Chaplin on piano-the arrangements could not be altered under Rodgers and Hammerstein's contract. The stage choreography was not used because it was too restrictive. Breaux and Wood worked out all new choreography better suited for film that incorporated many of the Salzburg locations and settings. They even choreographed the newly added puppet dance sequence for "The Lonely Goatherd". The choreography for the Ländler strictly followed the traditional Austrian folk dance. The musical arranger Irwin Kostal prerecorded the songs with a large orchestra and singers on a stage prior to the start of filming. In her book, The Sound of Music: The Making of America's Favorite Movie, Julia Antopol Hirsch says that Kostal used seven children and five adults to record the children's voices; the only scene where the child-actors actually sing is when they sing "The Sound of Music" on their own after Maria leaves. Charmian Carr refuted the claim that the voices of the child actors were dubbed in the film and on the soundtrack. Carr contended that all of the children who are in the film sing on the track, but four other children were added to most of the songs to give them a fuller sound, they did not replace them as singers. The voices of some of the adult actors had voice doubles, including Peggy Wood and Christopher Plummer.

@@roseyred72
It's my guilty pleasure... take care !
1:14 I don't think Julie Andrews was 17 in 1985, let alone 52 in 2021. This Facts Verse need fact-checkers...
wasent the movie filmed in the 60s?
@@user-sm7ts2dr4k 65 I believe.
I was very confused at this as well. Cause at one point it said that she was 81 in 2021 and it said she was 52
In 1965 she was thirty it says so in the beginning
Not to mention the fact that The Sound of Music was released in 1965, not 1985.
Wow
legal, gostei
Some of the actors appeared in 2021 on This Morning on U.K tv
Is that a remix of “Tradition” from Fiddler on the Roof playing underneath? I can’t tell, but I swear I hear “And who has the right as Master of the House, to have the final say at home? The Papa, The Papas!” Is it just me? Does the cheese stand alone? Anyway, loved this video.
Where are the amazing supporting actors and actresses?
PS I Love music !!!
julie andrews is 85-
not 52
You goofed it on the Angela Cartwright clip. That was her sister, Veronica Cartwright, who was in Hitchcock's "The Birds".
OMG, liesl von trapp passed away alredy, 5yrs ago?? She almost looked like 103 yr old woman I took care of.....UMAIGUDNEZ, ang mga Lola ko pataaaayy naa rinnnn!!!!
It's so sad, Pammie!
Why didn't you cross-reference Heather Menzies and Robert Urich? You're the one that did the story!
Danger Will Robinson looks like the girl from Lost in space
It is.
because she is.
Has anyone read the book based on the real Vontrap family ?
Julie Andrews was not 17 when she did sound of music she was 30
So, ang lola kong Julie Andrews na lang ba ang buhay pa hanggang ngayon??? Almost all of the cast are dead except Julie Andrews still much alive???
Yes, sadly. What's your favorite Julie Andrews movie, Pammie?
@@FactsVerse that one w/ Anne Hathaway.
What? first it is Julie and all the right info, then next shot shows her, age 17 and is now only 52... Plummer having died the statement he was 17 is last age 52.....to who is this credit, I guess one of the young boys which starred in the show, so far only 2 minutes into the program, don't know what awaits before it is finished. I have been noticing these descrepancies (sp)in some of your other productions. Slow down and I would call it SPELLCHECK
You certainly screwed up Julie Andrew's age in this video. She was 17 in 1985 but was 30 in 1965. You need to go back to grade school and learn your math.
