Name That Movie Revealed

Sound Of Music (1965) Julie Andrews as Maria Christopher Plummer as Captain Georg von Trapp In Salzburg, Austria, a former nun leaves the convent to become a governess for the seven children of a wealthy, Austrian widower who has grown into a cold disciplinarian. Soon, she opens the children to the wonders of life and the joy of music - and eventually softens the heart of their father and gains his love. It should be noted that details of the von Trapp story were altered for the play and the film. The Captain's eldest child was a boy, not a girl, and the names of the children were changed (at least partly to avoid confusion, as the Captain's second-eldest daughter was also called Maria). The repertoire of the Trapp Family Singers was entirely classical, with a special focus on early motets. The von Trapps spent some years in Austria after Maria and the Captain had married (in 1927) they did not have to flee right away and when they did it was to Italy, not Switzerland, via train, not foot. We have a confession to make. We took the Sound of Music tour while in Salzburg. What can we say, we were Americans in Austria and there was no hiding it. We toured the different locations where many of the scenes were shot and we even joined in on the terribly off-key sing alongs. What the heck, it was fun. Austrians for the most part are not all that familiar with the movie and simply smiled and shook their heads as we merrily belted out "the hills are alive with the sound of music". It was silly, it was fun. You may enjoying singing this all day: "Do-Re-Mi." ...the first three notes just happen to be, Do-Re-Mi. Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti, oh let's see if I can make it easier. Doe, a deer, a female deer, Ray, a drop of golden sun. Me, a name I call myself, Far, a long, long way to run. Sew, a needle pulling thread, La, a note to follow So. Tea, a drink with jam and bread, that will bring us back to Do...
