What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on the Broadway musical 'The Sound of Music' (1959). The musical itself is based on Maria Augusta Trapp's book 'The Story of the Trapp Family Singers' (1949).
- Initially, William Wyler was supposed to direct the film, and he had already begun scouting locations and working on the script. However, he intended to make a very different film – in both spirit and style. For example, in one scene, according to his vision, tanks were supposed to be crashing through walls.
- Robert Wise, who replaced Billy Wilder, considered Yul Brynner for the role of Captain von Trapp. Sean Connery and Richard Burton were also among those considered for the role of von Trapp.
- Young Kurt Russell, Richard Dreyfuss, Veronica Cartwright, Patty Duke, and four members of the Osmond Brothers auditioned for the roles of the children. During auditions, it was discovered that Dreyfuss could not dance.
- When 8-year-old Debbie Turner began losing her teeth during filming, she had to have false teeth inserted.
- The von Trapp estate was filmed in two different locations in Salzburg (Austria).
- Julie Andrews received only $225,000 for her performance in the lead role.
- Two years before the musical "The Sound of Music" first appeared on Broadway, Paramount Studios acquired the rights to its plot, hoping Audrey Hepburn would play the lead role in the film adaptation. After she declined to star in the film, Paramount lost interest in the project.
- 20th Century Fox Studios acquired the rights to create a film version of the musical in 1960. The role of Maria von Trapp was offered to Doris Day, but she turned it down. Julie Andrews almost refused the role as well, as she didn’t want to repeat herself after “Mary Poppins” (1964).
- Christopher Plummer sang his own parts and even learned to play the guitar specifically for the role, but ultimately they still decided to dub him.
- In Spain, the film is known as "Smiles and Tears", in France it was called "The Melody of Happiness", and in Austria — "My Songs – My Dreams".
- Despite the enormous success of the film, which became the highest-grossing film of all time at the time, film critic Pauline Kael sharply criticized it, calling it "The Sounds of Money".
- Charmian Carr beat out Mia Farrow, Sharon Tate, and Patty Duke for the role of Liesl von Trapp.
- The film is based on the Broadway musical "The Sound of Music" (1959). The musical itself is based on Maria Augusta Trapp's book "The Story of the Trapp Family Singers" (1949).
- Two years before the musical "The Sound of Music" first appeared on Broadway, Paramount Studios acquired the rights to its story, hoping to cast Audrey Hepburn in the lead role for the film adaptation. After she declined to appear in the movie, Paramount lost interest in the project.
