About 3 years ago my Son and my Daughter in law surprised me with a trip to Salzburg in Austria where we had the pleasure of going on the Sound of Music tour and then we stayed in the Von Trapp family home which is now a hotel 🏨, all the rooms have names I stayed in the Edelweiss room which is enormous and stunning there are 7 windows in that room with spectacular views, it’s worth every penny to experience staying there .
I had the privilege to see and hear Maria von Trapp lecture while in college at (now) Otterbein University in 1967. We were enthralled with her presence and the message she gave regarding her life in Austria and the German occupation. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.
They did live a very adventurous life as a family. I love how Maria and the Captain turned into a good team as a couple and parents to their kids. They show how much a family can do when they stick and stood up together. I'll never forget their story.
Never knew that it is based on true story till now . I was a freshman in college when I first saw the movie in 1965. I watched it several times. I still love to watch it. Indeed a great musical movie.
Wonderful documentary! Mitzi Von Trapp is just so sweet a part of this!! I see this as a true love story. If not, Maria would not have grown fond of this man. Again, I love "Mitzi's" lovely real smile!! Very happy I found this. We should all try to remember how Europe lived through WWI and II! Some of my relatives in Italy told me their stories. This quarantine we're under is so much easier. No bombs. We can defeat this invisible virus... Just by being patient, vigilant, careful and loving and PROTECTIVE of each other! I'm 73 and all alone. My sister and I may only text each other. I'd love to hug her. My only son is in Japan with his family of two little boys. The worry is the worst, but prayer is comforting and, I believe, all prayers are heard. Stay safe all. Love each other hard! This will pass, use the time well without complaint.
One of the greatest story ever told....the whole world love this family....RIP Maria Von Trapp.....you were a role model for mothers and single parents all over the world and....
When I first heard a record of the sound of music I was babysitting when I was 16 with a family of three girls. The children have been put down to sleep and I had permission to play the record. When I first heard the music and the bells and singing of the nuns I loved it so much and Mary Martin's voice was beautiful. Later on when I was able to watch the movie cuz I never got to see the Broadway musical, and it meant even more to me then. As their family babysitter I got to grow up with the kids I babysat until I graduated high school and went into nurses training. That music sustain me through very much. Especially climb every mountain I also read the book that she wrote I loved it.
What a fantastic REAL story! When the movie came out I was pregnant with my daughter and my husband and I went to see it. After my daughter, Lisa was born, the song I sang her to sleep each night was Eidelweiss.
It was great to hear the real story and what really happened in their lives. I am sorry the father was portrayed as harsh in the movie. He was a gentle and kind man and much loved by his family.
In order to have a "good story," writers always look for ways to create conflict...and making Captain Von Trapp an insufferable martinet at the beginning of the story was their way of making it interesting. Still, I can understand why Maria was not on board with that.
This was wonderful to get to know the Von Trapps. The Sound of Music inspired me and I became a music teacher, singer, and songwriter, married a wonderful musical man who loves Jesus. My girls have beautiful voices and when we sing together we call ourselves the Vanderhoof Family Singers, just for fun!
When I was growing up in Europe, as a child I heard my Grandma talking about meeting Von Trapp family few times on stages somewhere in Austria. At that time it was Austro-Hungary. My Grandmother lived there and performed in theaters acting, singing and playing . When living later in socialist country I never had chance to see the movie until 1980 when I came to USA. Some time later I realized that it was the family that my Grandma used to talk about. My big regret is that by then my Grandma passed and I never had chance to ask her more about them. The movie is my icon, I watch it few times a year and will always love it.
I am so pleased that someone produced this documentary of the true story. I enjoyed it far more than the Disney version, but am saddened that this energetic woman did not receive the fruit of all her labor. She was inventive and resourceful, and it just seems a shame that she didn't receive monetary compensation for her life's story. Seems like the $ should have been inherited by her children, as well. I am glad that she was recognized throughout her lifetime for her accomplishments and her ability to overcome such odds. Thanks for posting this video.
What a pleasure this was to watch. Maria was my mother's best friend. It wasn't unusual to arrive home from school, and see Maria sitting in our living room. She and my mother often went for lunch, or shopping. When Maria was in the city, filling the food order at Burlington Grocery, my mother's boss would tell them to "Go! Enjoy yourselves, and we'll take care of Maria's order." It's a shame that children don't understand the history of people. She and my mom were best friends. That's all that mattered to me at that time. Seeing this documentary, and Maria's face, again, brought back all the times she was at my house, and all the wonderful stories my mother would tell about their days together. She was heartbroken when Maria passed away, and upset no one in the family bothered to tell her Maria was ill. A wonderful lady, Maria, and a wonderful story of a life full of ups and downs.
PARABÉNS PELO DOCUMENTÁRIO: EXCELENTE!!! Que história extraordinária!!! O filme (A NOVIÇA REBELDE) retrata, somente, o lado bom desta história fascinante, mas é excepcional!!! Todos da Família VON TRAPP mostraram o quanto eram fortes em meio a tantos problemas sérios! Que pai, que mãe, que madrasta!... DEUS parece ter feito tudo encaixar-se, perfeitamente, numa época em que tudo era tão difícil e poderia ter tido um final bem trágico!... Triste saber que tiveram tantos outros problemas, após tanto sucesso; que perderam a oportunidade de ficarem ricos, novamente, mas, como disse uma das filhas, a maior riqueza é serem amados como foram e são!!! Uma pena saber que há uma discórdia por conta, provavelmente, de heranças... Mas a vida não é um conto de fadas, infelizmente!...
When I was a young girl I spent most of one my summer vacations reading a book called "The Von Trapp Family Singers". It was a pretty thick book, but I enjoyed every page of it. This is a wonderful, true story of how a family could survive and make it even in a world that had it's share of darkness at that time. The "Sound of Music" is not totally accurate, but it's truly wonderful, delightful and full of charm and lovely music. Julie Andrews was a jewel in her performance as Maria. I look forward to watching it again. A big Thank You vsbonvenutodoc for sharing this.
When I was 10 yrs old, am now 77, my mother was president of the music club at our high school. As a fundraiser, the Von Trapp family came to our town to put on a concert. We met the entire family, except by that time, the baron had passed. It was Maria and most of the children....along with a priest. Two of the girls stayed at our home for the night, but we got together with them to eat meals. My mother stayed in touch with Maria, and a couple of years later we visited their home in Stowe Vermont. It was fashioned after a Austrian lodge, and the baron chose the land in Vermont because it reminded him of land in Austria. We once again had a meal with them, stayed in the lodge they owned. Mom bought the book that Maria had written and I am privileged to have the book, signed by Maria and numerous children. The two that stayed with us were Hedwig and Annette. I will never forget these two women, nor Maria. Johanns was beginning to care for the lodge. We loved visiting the lodge, and seeing Maria again. I cherish the book. And of course my favorite movie to this day is The Sound of Music. My youngest son has been to Austria and took the Von Trapp tour. He truly loved it. I saw Maria on various talk shows and loved every minute of interviews with her. The lodge did burn down but Johanns had rebuilt it, along with his family.
Excelente trabalho de recuperação da verdadeira história da Família Trapp, e principalmente pelos depoimentos dos integrantes da família e por tudo o que passaram.
So wonderful to hear and watch this documentary. My life has been full to have read Maria Von Trapp original book, seen the the 1965 version of the Trapp Family movie, then to grow up performing in the play Sound of Music. Was able to see Debbi Boone play Maria in New Orleans. Participated in several community theatre productions playing Sr Berthe, and was thrilled when my daughter played the part of Louisa in a University/Community theatre production. Then just a few years ago my son brought me to visit Salzburg and tour the original Sound of Music Tour. The icing on the cake is that Peter Graves, actor from my childhood, narrated this documentary. My brother and I got to meet him when we performed a garage theater show to earn money to donate to a Jerry Lewis Telethon for children. A few years back, I had the opportunity to meet the elderly Agathe von trapp as the new generation of von traps singers performed in Norfolk, VA. I am now 70 and I hope to finish my play or screenplay that will promote the same moral values and encourage others to live their lives to glorify God. Thank you for this wonderful documentary. Someday I plan to visit the Von Trapp Lodge in Vermont.
I remember as a little girl being taken by my Grandfather to see The Sound of Music. It became and still is one of my most favorite movies of all time. I am thankful to the Von Trapp family for their music. I hope to go to the Stowe Vermont to stay at their lodge.
Amei conhecer a história real da Família Von Trapp .Agora entendi porque o filme Noviça rebelde não era no melhor alemão, mas falado em inglês . E Julie Andrews na sua bela interpretação encheu o mundo de beleza e Alegrias inesquecíveis!
Un film bellissimo quanto la storia reale di questa famiglia è intramontabile! Il film più bello che abbia mai visto e rivedrei ogni anno perché non mi stanca mai! Adoro l Austria ed ogni volta che vado a Salisburgo è inevitabile pensare con tanto affetto a questa famiglia e alla sua storia. GRAZIE 🌹
When I was a senior high school student, I first saw this film and was moved very much by the solidarity of the family, the beautiful music. I learned many things through the film such as hardship for them to overcome under difficult situations.
Amazing story. Maria, is a very strong and inspiring character. Maria Von Trapp sure smile down on us all from heaven. This is beyond words. It's very unique and special.
It turns me nostalgic.....I have grown up with this movie right since my early childhood in a family of six. The video is very beautifully made. And I have fallen for Maria....and all her children here who spoke so vividly of how life moved form the family ..................and it all came from the heart ! Thanks to everyone who mattered in getting this video done so well.
It's a great story, encouraging, enlightening and entertaining. Touching one's soul. Sad for the wrong contract Maria signed, which otherwise could have made each family member a millionaire. There is an interesting connection with the World War and the Great Depression. Above all, one is awestruck by the strong will power of Ms Maria to navigate a family of 11+ members through bad times, worst situations, make a journey from Austria to England and America and achieve such fame and popularity. It's also a lesson that sincere, hard work does bear golden fruits. Good narration enriched with real shots and the memories shared by the Trapp family members. Hats off! Thanks a lot.
Um dos filmes que marcaram a vida de muitas gerações, a minha inlclusive. Colocar legendas para o público monolíngue lusófono é crucial para que eles possam também desfrutar de documentários preciosos como este, parabéns pela iniciativa verdadeiramente educativa e de valor também espiritual. Compartilhado também em meus blogs educativos! Thank you ever so much:-)
In Massachusetts at Holyoke Catholic High, my mom was organist, director of music for Glee Club who performed. My brother played Kurt and I was Louisa. ❤️
What a wonderful presentation of the true family. They are an inspiration to many of us. The music and film were so beautiful. I will never forget taking my father to see them perform in Boston.
Just came across this wonderful story, the real one, and it was quite an eventful one. I loved the movie which I have viewed too many times to remember. Thank you for telling us about these wonderful people.
I could listen to Peter Graves read the phone book. Very well done. Having been to both Vermont and Austria, I can't believe that they ever thought Vermont was a substitute for Salzburg. I've seen their previous home, and can't imagine them living on a farm. Wow, that must have been quite a shock to those kids.
The Trapp family Lodge setting is stunning. It comprises thousands of acres located at the top of Luce hill in Stowe, Vermont, overlooking the valleys below. Maria’s favorite view (and bedroom) faced the Nebraska valley facing the back of the main Lodge. Of course it isn’t Salzburg, but it gives one a sense of the Austrian countryside. Thanks to Johannes, the youngest son, the Trapp Family Lodge is now a major cross-country skiing destination.
My mom bought the record in late 60s and I have seen the movie many times over I know all the songs! I enjoyed it and it’s good to see the original where it came from and the differences... I will continue to enjoy...
Maria von Trapp has a strong personality, which brought the family to be success for generations..their story has become a legend for centuries ahead...people never get tired of their struggle to survive, which will inspire everybody not to afraid of hard work & persistency..
I was a teenager when my mother took my sister and I to see the Von Trapp singers in Logansport, IN... What a thrill it was many years later to see The Sound of Music, thinking that surely was their true story... Read Maria's book later and now this documentary offers me their really true story...nevertheless, I continue to be inspired by Maria's courage and strength of character as well as the respect given to her and her husband by the children. Movie moguls should be ashamed of taking advantage of the Von Trapps...it is sad to hear of contention among the children.
The greatest film of all times. I salute the Von Trapp family Singers .For me the Von Trapp family the most beautiful and lovely family.I love their voices their songs very much.How I wish the younger generation of Von Trapp will sing again.
Maria sounds in many ways like my own mother. High energy, idealistic, driven, creative, dramatic, but needed someone to temper her at times. I know what it's like to live with a mom like that. Never a dull moment! 😁
Wonderful! It describes me as well, all the character references, I am a musician , and raise 6 young children with my husband, a more laid back but strong husband!
How wonderful to hear the true story of the von Trapp family behind the Sound of Music film. That movie is one of my earlier movie memories. I remember seeing it at the Rolling Hills Theater and when the film finished, the entire audience applauded! We just don’t do that any more. I was really excited when my sales rep in that territory sent me an order for my jewelry that was placed by the gift shop buyer at the Trapp Family Lodge. It instantly brought back that childhood memory in the theater.
I was in the audience at a Sunshine Coast movie theatre premiere for Liam Neeson's Rob Roy and we all stood up and cheered wildly when the loathsome baddy (played so brilliantly by Tim Roth) copped it. Yaaay@
''When they are really unhappy really desperate they rent that video and sit down and watch it and they can go on with their lives'' That's exactly what I am doing now and that's why I am here ...
I watched this film 8 times and memorised the entire music score and not knowing I had a musical ear and studied. I became a recorder player and music teacher. I am now retired.
Oh my gosh, what an interesting story. I,ve watched the movie, The Sound Of Music many times, but this is the real story of the Von Trapp Family, This is one of the most interesting videos I,ve watched in a long time. What a woman......what a family!!!
Maria is a very remarkable woman.I couldn't believe what she had done to her family.Some women can really take charge of the family.I really,really admire her!
The Sound of Music, the movie, came to Connecticut in 1965. I had seen it with a friend and loved it. My family saw it again together. One of my favorite movies.
Yes, I was in my first year high school when it was first shown here in the Philippines! I love that movie, l still watch that movie often this time, I have shown it to my grandchildren, they love it, I see to it that I have a clean copy everytime. I hope this is not to late a reaction, just saw this now. I love the Sound of Music and the story of the von Trapp family, and the actors and actresses in that beautiful musical movie.
Inspiring but it seems the movie stars were more famous than the real family...😍😍😍. I read the opening of The Von Trapp book ...Maria prayed for the family n her prayers were so beautiful. She was an ex nun n had a good heart.
After watching Sound of Music, kind enjoy more learning The true History of The Von Trapp Family. And The Trapp Family Singer. If gift from God. Watch one classic film movie 1935- I find it truly magical moments of was back then. How Maria become a new mom in the Trapp Family and behind the history of her past. She help children sing and play and have fun. Truly was beautiful Family, God Bless all them. Maybe if Maria keep children together because of Husband die maybe she miss him so much. Now today got be close to 75 or 80 years now. Let’s remember great history of them. Truly beautiful music live on Forever. God bless children and there Mother and Father. In heaven now. Thank You for share this beautiful video clip. God Bless All Them. They should got some awards all years they been singing. 100%.
STRENGTH, FAITH, UNITY, LOVE,...I can say so much MORE with one WORD about this FAMILY,... GIFTED, WAOHHHH, AmaZing! BEAUTUFUL, TALANTED, WAOHHHH!! INSPIRATIONAL♥️ TRUELY UNIQUE,.. ITS HEART FELT JUST LISTENING... WHAT A STRONG FAMILY....MARIA ONE EXTRADIONARY WOMAN 💙💚💛💜♥️🖤 THANK YOU 4 THIS VIDEO.
The real and whole story of the Trapp Family. Bickering, turmoil,, and love like most families. And an amazing story of leaving Nazi-occupied Austria and building their lives again in America afterward. An interesting, well researched documentary from A&E Biography. Worth your time. LLR
beautiful touching documentary...movie...life story!! I was 6 year old (in 1957) i was at the cinema watching ..die Trapp Familie! I never fergot!! Thank you!
Assisti o lançamento desse filme aqui em Botucatu em 1965, e me marcou muito pelo musical, e agora vejo a biografia da família Von Trapp, belo documentário.
My most favorite movie, "The Sound of Music," with Julie Andrews' lovely voice and warm acting has resonated in my life. When I met (through mutual friends) a strict widower with four daughters, I was working on the House side of The Hill in D.C. for a congressman from Colorado. Since I had worked over six years singing and playing my violin with a Christian organization in San Bernardino, CA, who helped people get closer to God through His Son Jesus, friends called me a nun and compared me to Maria von Trapp. So, when I married the widower with four daughters, ages 10 months, 3, 6, and 9 years old and had two more daughters from our union, people in the U.S. called us the von Trapp Family. I tried to teach our six daughters a love for music, but only half of them found that love and played musical instruments or sang in choirs as they were growing up. Obviously, our family wasn't one that traveled and performed all across the world. The girls were all musically talented, but their father didn't want any of them performing on stage or in the movies. So, we sang or played together in duets, trios or quartets amongst ourselves.
I played Liesl for our 1 week Sound of Music School play. Being the soprano, the most difficult bit was the scene when the family were crossing the mountains while escaping the Nazis out of Austria. Our choir mistress was the sister of our drama teacher and I felt I had to do my best for both. Being 16 years old at the time, I never seemed to get it right. The days I sang brilliantly, my drama teacher said she couldn't feel my sadness. The day I felt the sadness, I couldn't reach the high notes at the end because I was crying so hard I could hardly sing! I finally got it right in the last two days..... Another funny thing was, I never knew before the play that the boys who teased me to death were so protective of me. They stood at the stage door and any boy from any other school who came backstage were told to get lost. My, was I proud! I will never, ever forget it. Those were the days.......
A very beautiful family and an exceedingly beautiful movie. A masterpiece! My favourite movie for years. Delighted to learn from the experience of the Von Trapp family. A beautiful documentary as well.
In spite of everything, including having virtually no verifiable details of her pre-Trapp life to go on, an inspiring and heartwarming real story. One thing's for sure -- she was full of life like we all should be. Who could fail to love them all? Kudos on all involved in this production and to YOU for posting it. Now everybody READ THE BOOK and enjoy the other Trapp documentaries posted here in YT!
Wow...thank you for the beautiful true story. Sounds of Music is a movie I can always watch 10times over it's so inspirational thank you The Von Trapp Family
I never met Maria or Georg von Trapp, but my sister and I did meet several of her daughters, including Agatha. We attended a children's music camp at the lodge in Stowe for two summers back in the 1950's. I still have my recorder. :)
Finally, the von Trapps as I remember them, from going to their concerts every Christmas in Boston and then a summer at their Camp where I learned to sing Gregorian and even played my violin. I have been yearning to see the real children. I loved them all.
Very interesting to hear 'the back story'. Years ago a friend on the East coast said Maria Von Trapp was well known, but in an unattractive light. She was known to be sharp with people, controlling, and pretty much thought of as an entirely unlikable person. Listening to the account of her miserable, abandoned, abused and lonely childhood brings a great degree of, "Oh. That's why. . . " When we meet people who treat us terribly, I've come to think of it as a spiritual discipline to not waste time and energy disliking or hating someone. THERE IS ALWAYS a reason for the ugliness, we just don't know the amount of self-hatred, pressure, loneliness and need that contributes to bringing a person to the point where they lash out at others. Best thing we can do is let it go. Not let it affect us, even if it means we have to remove ourselves from that person's presence, influence and control. The other thing that struck me was that IF the family had access to all that money, if they didn't have to work together as a family, an extreme amount of money could have warped their love for each other. They could have easily become like so many wealthy people in America, anxious for parents and other relatives to die off so they could get their hands on even more money. Being so rich, they would have no respect for frugality, hard work, and being creative in earning money. Losing the money was actually a gift for them. Thank you for posting this documentary. It really enriches watching a stage production, however fictionalized.
The first part of what you said, I agree with. But losing the money was not a gift to them, it stirred bitterness and caused a permanent divide in the family. There's nothing wrong with having money, after all, Abraham was rich and so was Job, not to mention King David. I really hate it that Captain von Trapp was so miserable here in the USA. In her book she said that he never learned to speak English. He felt himself to be an exile. How sad.
Julie Hollar I was a teenager in Livingston, Montana once in September 1973. I'm trying to be funny. I left Amarillo, Texas headed to Stockton, California for college, by way of Seattle. Some minor car repairs were necessary as I passed through Livingston. I found a mechanic who did some adjustments so that my car ran better. For payment he wanted me to treat him and a buddy at a bar next door. I was 18 on my first trip alone this far from home. Even going into a bar was uncomfortable for me. I refused that means of payment, we talked out a fair amount, and I hit the road. I was stopped for about seven hours. My only time ever in Livingston. (Hope that's not too goofy. Seeing the town's name stirred some memories.)
@@rickruthstrom222 I lived in Worcester Vermont from 1971till 1972. In "71" I worked for Hooker Furniture which was on the Barre-Montpelier Rd. Hooker's had the job to replace al the hallway carpets in the Von Trapp Lodge. Every day I would be in the hallways doing my job on my knees, and Maria would come down the hall once or twice everyday and stand right behind me in an intimidating arms folded stance, and without ever saying a word, would watch what i was doing for a few moments. She never spoke to me, asked me questions, or anything. Just liked to stand there in an intimidating stance. My interaction with Maria Von Trapp.

For those complaining about Austria not having a sea coast: At the time Baron von Trapp was in the navy (1898-1918), Austria was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. WWI ended that alliance & Austria shrank to its current borders.
Trieste, the western end of the triangular Istrian Peninsula, was part of Austria at that time. The big naval base was in Pola, the southern tip of the Istrian triangle. It's part of Croatia now.
My Mom was in a family singing group in Vermont singing Gospel music at churches. I asked her about them and she said the Von Traps kept to themselves. Since they sang mostly classical music and the Vincent's Gospel, they didn't tour the same venues and never saw them.
Such an amazing story, and nobody in this family could ever have guessed it at all what a life they would have. So many turns and tumbles and happy end. "Der Mensch denkt und Gott lenkt."
I'd be willing to bet that Maria suffered from undiagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder, a condition frequently associated with neglect & abuse in early childhood. Many sufferers experience inappropriate, intense anger that can be difficult to control, often followed by intense shame & guilt because of their actions, frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment (like not wanting the children to strike out on their own), a markedly disturbed sense of identity (often depending on those around them to provide them with a basis for who they are), among other symptoms. People with BPD feel emotions with greater ease & depth for a longer time that others do. A core characteristic of BPD is affective instability, which generally manifests as unusually intense emotional responses to environmental triggers, with a slower return to a baseline emotional state. People with BPD are often exceptionally enthusiastic, idealistic, joyful, and loving, but may feel overwhelmed by negative emotions (anxiety, depression, guilt/shame, worry, anger, etc.), experiencing intense grief instead of sadness, shame and humiliation instead of mild embarrassment, rage instead of annoyance, and panic instead of nervousness. It's a difficult diagnosis to have to live with. There's no medication to treat it, most mental health practitioners don't accept patients with it, the motion picture industry & media continues to portray it in the most hateable way, &, well, this year...Amber Heard. 🙄✌🏼
About 3 years ago my Son and my Daughter in law surprised me with a trip to Salzburg in Austria where we had the pleasure of going on the Sound of Music tour and then we stayed in the Von Trapp family home which is now a hotel 🏨, all the rooms have names I stayed in the Edelweiss room which is enormous and stunning there are 7 windows in that room with spectacular views, it’s worth every penny to experience staying there .
Wow that sounds like a fairytale. Would you have a picture of that Hotel??? I would love to see it.
Thank you so much for sharing that☺
This is on my bucket list 💞
Thanks for sharing the lovely video . ❤
Dude that is awesome I would love to go I love the sound of music
Q
I had the privilege to see and hear Maria von Trapp lecture while in college at (now) Otterbein University in 1967. We were enthralled with her presence and the message she gave regarding her life in Austria and the German occupation. Truly a once in a lifetime experience.
Oh, wow! That'd be a good part of your journal! Good to read your comment. Stay healthy and safe!
Beautiful ❤️. Thank you for sharing.
I enjoyed the movie but the true story is also intriguing. Maria was definitely a fierce woman and it’s lovely to hear them speak about their father.
They did live a very adventurous life as a family. I love how Maria and the Captain turned into a good team as a couple and parents to their kids. They show how much a family can do when they stick and stood up together. I'll never forget their story.
Bbbbbb
Never knew that it is based on true story till now . I was a freshman in college when I first saw the movie in 1965. I watched it several times. I still love to watch it. Indeed a great musical movie.
Wonderful documentary! Mitzi Von Trapp is just so sweet a part of this!!
I see this as a true love story. If not, Maria would not have grown fond of this man.
Again, I love "Mitzi's" lovely real smile!!
Very happy I found this.
We should all try to remember how Europe lived through WWI and II! Some of my relatives in Italy told me their stories. This quarantine we're under is so much easier. No bombs. We can defeat this invisible virus... Just by being patient, vigilant, careful and loving and PROTECTIVE of each other!
I'm 73 and all alone. My sister and I may only text each other. I'd love to hug her. My only son is in Japan with his family of two little boys. The worry is the worst, but prayer is comforting and, I believe, all prayers are heard.
Stay safe all. Love each other hard! This will pass, use the time well without complaint.

One of the greatest story ever told....the whole world love this family....RIP Maria Von Trapp.....you were a role model for mothers and single parents all over the world and....

\minha infância!! Fiz mamãe assistir ,em 1966 à 3 sessões seguidas da noviça rebelde!! Amo até hoje!!!Adorei! Muito grata!!
When I first heard a record of the sound of music I was babysitting when I was 16 with a family of three girls. The children have been put down to sleep and I had permission to play the record. When I first heard the music and the bells and singing of the nuns I loved it so much and Mary Martin's voice was beautiful. Later on when I was able to watch the movie cuz I never got to see the Broadway musical, and it meant even more to me then. As their
family babysitter I got to grow up with the kids I babysat until I graduated high school and went into nurses training. That music sustain me through very much. Especially climb every mountain I also read the book that she wrote I loved it.
What a fantastic REAL story! When the movie came out I was pregnant with my daughter and my husband and I went to see it. After my daughter, Lisa was born, the song I sang her to sleep each night was Eidelweiss.
That’s by Rodgers & Hammerstein, not a folk song.
It was great to hear the real story and what really happened in their lives. I am sorry the father was portrayed as harsh in the movie. He was a gentle and kind man and much loved by his family.
Harsh but lovable.
In order to have a "good story," writers always look for ways to create conflict...and making Captain Von Trapp an insufferable martinet at the beginning of the story was their way of making it interesting. Still, I can understand why Maria was not on board with that.
Both versions of the Von Trapp story are utterly charming!
I can watch the movie over and over again and never get tired of it.
Amanda Saunders so do i
Amanda Saunders me too n knowing the lyrics off by heart
Me as well, I know it by heart lyrics and dialogue. This is interesting.
Amanda Saunders It is a belovèd film... for good reason.

This was wonderful to get to know the Von Trapps. The Sound of Music inspired me and I became a music teacher, singer, and songwriter, married a wonderful musical man who loves Jesus. My girls have beautiful voices and when we sing together we call ourselves the Vanderhoof Family Singers, just for fun!
This movie still inspires me to this day. A wonderful christian family. I hope Jesus may keep your family in the power of the faith!
As a sound of music fan myself, this is pretty cool
The Sound of Music had literally nothing to do with Jesus. Give me a break.
I loved this documentary about the family history. Very well written and well balanced between the real life and one of my favorite movies.
When I was growing up in Europe, as a child I heard my Grandma talking about meeting Von Trapp family few times on stages somewhere in Austria. At that time it was Austro-Hungary. My Grandmother lived there and performed in theaters acting, singing and playing . When living later in socialist country I never had chance to see the movie until 1980 when I came to USA. Some time later I realized that it was the family that my Grandma used to talk about. My big regret is that by then my Grandma passed and I never had chance to ask her more about them. The movie is my icon, I watch it few times a year and will always love it.
I am so pleased that someone produced this documentary of the true story. I enjoyed it far more than the Disney version, but am saddened that this energetic woman did not receive the fruit of all her labor. She was inventive and resourceful, and it just seems a shame that she didn't receive monetary compensation for her life's story. Seems like the $ should have been inherited by her children, as well. I am glad that she was recognized throughout her lifetime for her accomplishments and her ability to overcome such odds. Thanks for posting this video.
Avery poignant n unusual family. Tht brought happiness to us even tdy God Bless them with peace n harmony n long life
An inspiring story to keep preserving no matter what.

What a pleasure this was to watch. Maria was my mother's best friend. It wasn't unusual to arrive home from school, and see Maria sitting in our living room. She and my mother often went for lunch, or shopping. When Maria was in the city, filling the food order at Burlington Grocery, my mother's boss would tell them to "Go! Enjoy yourselves, and we'll take care of Maria's order." It's a shame that children don't understand the history of people. She and my mom were best friends. That's all that mattered to me at that time. Seeing this documentary, and Maria's face, again, brought back all the times she was at my house, and all the wonderful stories my mother would tell about their days together. She was heartbroken when Maria passed away, and upset no one in the family bothered to tell her Maria was ill.
A wonderful lady, Maria, and a wonderful story of a life full of ups and downs.
That's a beautiful story

I am so glad you have those happy memories! Thanks so much for sharing this!!!
Thanks for sharing your memories to us Sir Kenny...
Kenny Anderson Oh, how very lovely!
PARABÉNS PELO DOCUMENTÁRIO: EXCELENTE!!! Que história extraordinária!!! O filme (A NOVIÇA REBELDE) retrata, somente, o lado bom desta história fascinante, mas é excepcional!!! Todos da Família VON TRAPP mostraram o quanto eram fortes em meio a tantos problemas sérios! Que pai, que mãe, que madrasta!... DEUS parece ter feito tudo encaixar-se, perfeitamente, numa época em que tudo era tão difícil e poderia ter tido um final bem trágico!... Triste saber que tiveram tantos outros problemas, após tanto sucesso; que perderam a oportunidade de ficarem ricos, novamente, mas, como disse uma das filhas, a maior riqueza é serem amados como foram e são!!! Uma pena saber que há uma discórdia por conta, provavelmente, de heranças... Mas a vida não é um conto de fadas, infelizmente!...
When I was a young girl I spent most of one my summer vacations reading a book called "The Von Trapp Family Singers". It was a pretty thick book, but I enjoyed every page of it. This is a wonderful, true story of how a family could survive and make it even in a world that had it's share of darkness at that time. The "Sound of Music" is not totally accurate, but it's truly wonderful, delightful and full of charm and lovely music. Julie Andrews was a jewel in her performance as Maria. I look forward to watching it again. A big Thank You vsbonvenutodoc for sharing this.
Was that "The Story of the Trapp Family Singers" by Maria Trapp?
I have also read that book. I saw it in the local library. Very interesting.
I got thatbook as a birthday gift. I ve read it many times. I read it once a year. It is marwellous.
😮😢
When I was 10 yrs old, am now 77, my mother was president of the music club at our high school. As a fundraiser, the Von Trapp family came to our town to put on a concert.
We met the entire family, except by that time, the baron had passed. It was Maria and most of the children....along with a priest. Two of the girls stayed at our home for the night, but we got together with them to eat meals. My mother stayed in touch with Maria, and a couple of years later we visited their home in Stowe Vermont. It was fashioned after a Austrian lodge, and the baron chose the land in Vermont because it reminded him of land in Austria. We once again had a meal with them, stayed in the lodge they owned. Mom bought the book that Maria had written and I am privileged to have the book, signed by Maria and numerous children. The two that stayed with us were Hedwig and Annette. I will never forget these two women, nor Maria. Johanns was beginning to care for the lodge. We loved visiting the lodge, and seeing Maria again. I cherish the book. And of course my favorite movie to this day is The Sound of Music. My youngest son has been to Austria and took the Von Trapp tour. He truly loved it. I saw Maria on various talk shows and loved every minute of interviews with her. The lodge did burn down but Johanns had rebuilt it, along with his family.
Perdia a conta de qtas vezes assisti A noviça rebelde!!! Muuuito bom saber da história verdadeira tbm!
Excellent Biography of Von Trapp Family.
I’ve always love the sound of music! And I just love the real von Trapp family story too!!! Thank you !!
I also grew up loving Disney's Sound of Music. 'The Trapp Family (1956)' found here on YT, is wonderful too! Have you seen it?
Excelente trabalho de recuperação da verdadeira história da Família Trapp, e principalmente pelos depoimentos dos integrantes da família e por tudo o que passaram.
So wonderful to hear and watch this documentary. My life has been full to have read Maria Von Trapp original book, seen the the 1965 version of the Trapp Family movie, then to grow up performing in the play Sound of Music. Was able to see Debbi Boone play Maria in New Orleans. Participated in several community theatre productions playing Sr Berthe, and was thrilled when my daughter played the part of Louisa in a University/Community theatre production. Then just a few years ago my son brought me to visit Salzburg and tour the original Sound of Music Tour. The icing on the cake is that Peter Graves, actor from my childhood, narrated this documentary. My brother and I got to meet him when we performed a garage theater show to earn money to donate to a Jerry Lewis Telethon for children. A few years back, I had the opportunity to meet the elderly Agathe von trapp as the new generation of von traps singers performed in Norfolk, VA. I am now 70 and I hope to finish my play or screenplay that will promote the same moral values and encourage others to live their lives to glorify God. Thank you for this wonderful documentary. Someday I plan to visit the Von Trapp Lodge in Vermont.
Thank you very much!
You are so blessed! Count that among your so many blessings!
I remember as a little girl being taken by my Grandfather to see The Sound of Music. It became and still is one of my most favorite movies of all time. I am thankful to the Von Trapp family for their music. I hope to go to the Stowe Vermont to stay at their lodge.
Amei conhecer a história real da Família Von Trapp .Agora entendi porque o filme Noviça rebelde não era no melhor alemão, mas falado em inglês . E Julie Andrews na sua bela interpretação encheu o mundo de beleza e Alegrias inesquecíveis!
Eu Amo este filme desde garota, até hoje, obgda por trazer momentos felizes do passado de muitos de nós!
Un film bellissimo quanto la storia reale di questa famiglia è intramontabile! Il film più bello che abbia mai visto e rivedrei ogni anno perché non mi stanca mai! Adoro l Austria ed ogni volta che vado a Salisburgo è inevitabile pensare con tanto affetto a questa famiglia e alla sua storia. GRAZIE 🌹
I am so honored to watch both this documentary and the film.
Vanessa Leopardas You remind me of them in several ways.
I'm 62 and I have seen The Sound of Music at least 20 times 😍 . I love it.
Maravilhoso! Sensacional. Que historia! Ja´me emocionei, várias vezes com o filme, e agora com a saga da Família Trapp.
When I was a senior high school student, I first saw this film and was moved very much by the solidarity of the family, the beautiful music. I learned many things through the film such as hardship for them to overcome under difficult situations.
I think it is so beautiful that Me. Trapp didn't join the German navy and that he had courage to take his family out of their beloved homeland.
Amazing story. Maria, is a very strong and inspiring character. Maria Von Trapp sure smile down on us all from heaven. This is beyond words. It's very unique and special.
I'm not surprised the family rebelled..

I admire Maria Von Trapp! How smart and wise person she is.
I’d would like to say THANK YOU to my dad for letting me introduced to this classic movie when I was still a child.
It turns me nostalgic.....I have grown up with this movie right since my early childhood in a family of six. The video is very beautifully made. And I have fallen for Maria....and all her children here who spoke so vividly of how life moved form the family ..................and it all came from the heart ! Thanks to everyone who mattered in getting this video done so well.
Your family in my heart will never be forgotten. I was raised on the sound of music . God love you and your family

@Buckshot 1 I am.glad that I am.not the only spelling corrector on this text!
The Sound of Music was one of my favorite theatre movies...I could sing every song.
Maria was a wonderful woman. She had a great husband and family. May she and her husband rest in peace.
I remember hearing the original family perform at my High School one night.. It was such an enjoyable program.. that I will never 4get..
Thank you for sharing this with us.
I enjoyed your text very much. Something to think about.
It's a great story, encouraging, enlightening and entertaining. Touching one's soul. Sad for the wrong contract Maria signed, which otherwise could have made each family member a millionaire. There is an interesting connection with the World War and the Great Depression. Above all, one is awestruck by the strong will power of Ms Maria to navigate a family of 11+ members through bad times, worst situations, make a journey from Austria to England and America and achieve such fame and popularity. It's also a lesson that sincere, hard work does bear golden fruits. Good narration enriched with real shots and the memories shared by the Trapp family members. Hats off! Thanks a lot.

They do not only make a history of their own but inspires us to make a story of our own family...
John Benedict Asibal very true. I'm on my way to write on our family history. May God help me.
Wonderful comment!
Very true... They are such peace makers

Um dos filmes que marcaram a vida de muitas gerações, a minha inlclusive. Colocar legendas para o público monolíngue lusófono é crucial para que eles possam também desfrutar de documentários preciosos como este, parabéns pela iniciativa verdadeiramente educativa e de valor também espiritual. Compartilhado também em meus blogs educativos! Thank you ever so much:-)
I knew Dr. Rupert Von Trapp. He was our family doctor in Little Compton Rhode Island when I was a child. I love there voices
In Massachusetts at Holyoke Catholic High, my mom was organist, director of music for Glee Club who performed. My brother played Kurt and I was Louisa. ❤️
Yes, he was a wonderful man. I knew him as a young man working at the Lodge and later staying on with the family.
What a wonderful presentation of the true family. They are an inspiration to many of us.
The music and film were so beautiful. I will never forget taking my father to see them perform in Boston.
Just came across this wonderful story, the real one, and it was quite an eventful one. I loved the movie which I have viewed too many times to remember. Thank you for telling us about these wonderful people.
I could listen to Peter Graves read the phone book. Very well done. Having been to both Vermont and Austria, I can't believe that they ever thought Vermont was a substitute for Salzburg. I've seen their previous home, and can't imagine them living on a farm. Wow, that must have been quite a shock to those kids.
Maria was a singer andlove her music all the time. Very beautiful story.
The Trapp family Lodge setting is stunning. It comprises thousands of acres located at the top of Luce hill in Stowe, Vermont, overlooking the valleys below. Maria’s favorite view (and bedroom) faced the Nebraska valley facing the back of the main Lodge. Of course it isn’t Salzburg, but it gives one a sense of the Austrian countryside. Thanks to Johannes, the youngest son, the Trapp Family Lodge is now a major cross-country skiing destination.
Life is harsh with pure-hearted people, but that doesn't take the meaning and beauty out of it for them.
Example of a fulfilled and brave life. 👍👍👍👍
A verdadeira história é mais fascinante que o filme! Porque o filme só trás emoção e comoção! 😍👏🏻👏🏻
Really glad this was on. I especially liked the true story of the family. I am glad the father was so gentle .
My mom bought the record in late 60s and I have seen the movie many times over I know all the songs! I enjoyed it and it’s good to see the original where it came from and the differences... I will continue to enjoy...
I love this they sing like angels 😇
Amazing to think that Georg died never knowing how famous his family and story would become.
Maybe he did.
No, he died in 1947.
omgbygollywow An interesting & sensitive reflection.
YOU ARE WRONG...IF HE IS IN HEAVEN...HE KNOWS...;)
My thought exactly.
Maria von Trapp has a strong personality, which brought the family to be success for generations..their story has become a legend for centuries ahead...people never get tired of their struggle to survive, which will inspire everybody not to afraid of hard work & persistency..
Tanya Masjhur Centuries ahead is a bit over the top, no? They all lived in the 20th century.
I was a teenager when my mother took my sister and I to see the Von Trapp singers in Logansport, IN... What a thrill it was many years later to see The Sound of Music, thinking that surely was their true story... Read Maria's book later and now this documentary offers me their really true story...nevertheless, I continue to be inspired by Maria's courage and strength of character as well as the respect given to her and her husband by the children. Movie moguls should be ashamed of taking advantage of the Von Trapps...it is sad to hear of contention among the children.
The greatest film of all times.
I salute the Von Trapp family Singers .For me the Von Trapp family the most beautiful and lovely family.I love their voices their songs very much.How I wish the younger generation of Von Trapp will sing again.
Actually they are ab
and have toured in concert together!
Maria sounds in many ways like my own mother. High energy, idealistic, driven, creative, dramatic, but needed someone to temper her at times. I know what it's like to live with a mom like that. Never a dull moment! 😁
Wonderful!
It describes me as well, all the character references, I am a musician , and raise 6 young children with my husband, a more laid back but strong husband!
How wonderful to hear the true story of the von Trapp family behind the Sound of Music film. That movie is one of my earlier movie memories. I remember seeing it at the Rolling Hills Theater and when the film finished, the entire audience applauded! We just don’t do that any more. I was really excited when my sales rep in that territory sent me an order for my jewelry that was placed by the gift shop buyer at the Trapp Family Lodge. It instantly brought back that childhood memory in the theater.
I read Maria von Trapps Biography! The story she told was completely different from what was told in " The Sound of Music! "
I was in the audience at a Sunshine Coast movie theatre premiere for Liam Neeson's Rob Roy and we all stood up and cheered wildly when the loathsome baddy (played so brilliantly by Tim Roth) copped it. Yaaay@
My grandma, Janice, is buried next to Rupert Von Trapp. He was my dad's step father for a while. Wish I had known them...
Pat Tate our I night and the
Pat Tate one
Pat Tate okay I just wan morning
The real story is always harder than the movie. I adore them in their being a fighter.
''When they are really unhappy really desperate they rent that video and sit down and watch it and they can go on with their lives'' That's exactly what I am doing now and that's why I am here ...
The family didn't like how Maria and especially her husband were portrayed. They were nothing like the movie characters.
Do try to cheer up, Wasim. Stay safe. We're all in this together!!
Best wishes.
I watched this film 8 times and memorised the entire music score and not knowing I had a musical ear and studied. I became a recorder player and music teacher. I am now retired.
👍
EXCELENTE HISTÓRIA DE UMA FAMÍLIA VERDADEIRAMENTE DE FERRO.
Thank you for uploading this video. An amazing insight into a family who's story has touched so many lives.
Oh my gosh, what an interesting story. I,ve watched the movie, The Sound Of Music many times, but this is the real story of the Von Trapp Family, This is one of the most interesting videos I,ve watched in a long time. What a woman......what a family!!!
Sound of Music will always be the best movie of all times. I still watch it since grade 1 till now.
Maria is a very remarkable woman.I couldn't believe what she had done to her family.Some women can really take charge of the family.I really,really admire her!
She took things a bit too far. Watch the real stories about her and you'll change your mind.
The Sound of Music, the movie, came to Connecticut in 1965. I had seen it with a friend and loved it. My family saw it again together. One of my favorite movies.
Yes, I was in my first year high school when it was first shown here in the Philippines! I love that movie, l still watch that movie often this time, I have shown it to my grandchildren, they love it, I see to it that I have a clean copy everytime. I hope this is not to late a reaction, just saw this now. I love the Sound of Music and the story of the von Trapp family, and the actors and actresses in that beautiful musical movie.
Inspiring but it seems the movie stars were more famous than the real family...😍😍😍. I read the opening of The Von Trapp book ...Maria prayed for the family n her prayers were so beautiful.
She was an ex nun n had a good heart.
After watching Sound of Music, kind enjoy more learning The true History of The Von Trapp Family. And The Trapp Family Singer. If gift from God. Watch one classic film movie 1935- I find it truly magical moments of was back then. How Maria become a new mom in the Trapp Family and behind the history of her past. She help children sing and play and have fun. Truly was beautiful Family, God Bless all them. Maybe if Maria keep children together because of Husband die maybe she miss him so much. Now today got be close to 75 or 80 years now. Let’s remember great history of them. Truly beautiful music live on Forever. God bless children and there Mother and Father. In heaven now. Thank You for share this beautiful video clip. God Bless All Them. They should got some awards all years they been singing. 100%.
It's good to know the truth! Thank you for sharing your beautiful and real story. How inspiring! ❤
STRENGTH, FAITH, UNITY, LOVE,...I can say so much MORE with one WORD about this FAMILY,... GIFTED, WAOHHHH, AmaZing!
BEAUTUFUL,
TALANTED, WAOHHHH!!
INSPIRATIONAL♥️
TRUELY UNIQUE,..
ITS HEART FELT JUST LISTENING...
WHAT A STRONG FAMILY....MARIA ONE EXTRADIONARY WOMAN

THANK YOU 4 THIS VIDEO.
The real and whole story of the Trapp Family. Bickering, turmoil,, and love like most families. And an amazing story of leaving Nazi-occupied Austria and building their lives again in America afterward. An interesting, well researched documentary from A&E Biography. Worth your time. LLR
beautiful touching documentary...movie...life story!! I was 6 year old (in 1957) i was at the cinema watching ..die Trapp Familie! I never fergot!! Thank you!
That's wonderful! Having watched the original die Trapp Familie! That's real history, too! We're of the same generation, I was 5 then.
Assisti o lançamento desse filme aqui em Botucatu em 1965, e me marcou muito pelo musical, e agora vejo a biografia da família Von Trapp, belo documentário.
My most favorite movie, "The Sound of Music," with Julie Andrews' lovely voice and warm acting has resonated in my life. When I met (through mutual friends) a strict widower with four daughters, I was working on the House side of The Hill in D.C. for a congressman from Colorado. Since I had worked over six years singing and playing my violin with a Christian organization in San Bernardino, CA, who helped people get closer to God through His Son Jesus, friends called me a nun and compared me to Maria von Trapp. So, when I married the widower with four daughters, ages 10 months, 3, 6, and 9 years old and had two more daughters from our union, people in the U.S. called us the von Trapp Family. I tried to teach our six daughters a love for music, but only half of them found that love and played musical instruments or sang in choirs as they were growing up. Obviously, our family wasn't one that traveled and performed all across the world. The girls were all musically talented, but their father didn't want any of them performing on stage or in the movies. So, we sang or played together in duets, trios or quartets amongst ourselves.
I played Liesl for our 1 week Sound of Music School play. Being the soprano, the most difficult bit was the scene when the family were crossing the mountains while escaping the Nazis out of Austria. Our choir mistress was the sister of our drama teacher and I felt I had to do my best for both. Being 16 years old at the time, I never seemed to get it right. The days I sang brilliantly, my drama teacher said she couldn't feel my sadness. The day I felt the sadness, I couldn't reach the high notes at the end because I was crying so hard I could hardly sing! I finally got it right in the last two days.....
Another funny thing was, I never knew before the play that the boys who teased me to death were so protective of me. They stood at the stage door and any boy from any other school who came backstage were told to get lost. My, was I proud! I will never, ever forget it. Those were the days.......

A very beautiful family and an exceedingly beautiful movie. A masterpiece! My favourite movie for years. Delighted to learn from the experience of the Von Trapp family. A beautiful documentary as well.
In spite of everything, including having virtually no verifiable details of her pre-Trapp life to go on, an inspiring and heartwarming real story. One thing's for sure -- she was full of life like we all should be.
Who could fail to love them all? Kudos on all involved in this production and to YOU for posting it. Now everybody READ THE BOOK and enjoy the other Trapp documentaries posted here in YT!
Wow...thank you for the beautiful true story. Sounds of Music is a movie I can always watch 10times over it's so inspirational thank you The Von Trapp Family
I never met Maria or Georg von Trapp, but my sister and I did meet several of her daughters, including Agatha. We attended a children's music camp at the lodge in Stowe for two summers back in the 1950's. I still have my recorder. :)
Wow! Wow! Awesome!
Great family story. So inspirational!
Finally, the von Trapps as I remember them, from going to their concerts every Christmas in Boston and then a summer at their Camp where I learned to sing Gregorian and even played my violin. I have been yearning to see the real children. I loved them all.
Really amazing story of one big family.. God blessed them I believe.. pray together stays forever... Rest in peace to the parents.
God bless the Von Trapp Family & those who are the source of this great story.
Minha mãe levou a mim e minha irmã muitas vezes para ver esse filme. Grande memória afetiva esse filme me proporciona. Nossa avó era austríaca.
I love sound of music. Very much beautiful 💯❤️❣️💝🙏
Very interesting to hear 'the back story'. Years ago a friend on the East coast said Maria Von Trapp was well known, but in an unattractive light. She was known to be sharp with people, controlling, and pretty much thought of as an entirely unlikable person. Listening to the account of her miserable, abandoned, abused and lonely childhood brings a great degree of, "Oh. That's why. . . " When we meet people who treat us terribly, I've come to think of it as a spiritual discipline to not waste time and energy disliking or hating someone. THERE IS ALWAYS a reason for the ugliness, we just don't know the amount of self-hatred, pressure, loneliness and need that contributes to bringing a person to the point where they lash out at others.
Best thing we can do is let it go. Not let it affect us, even if it means we have to remove ourselves from that person's presence, influence and control.
The other thing that struck me was that IF the family had access to all that money, if they didn't have to work together as a family, an extreme amount of money could have warped their love for each other. They could have easily become like so many wealthy people in America, anxious for parents and other relatives to die off so they could get their hands on even more money. Being so rich, they would have no respect for frugality, hard work, and being creative in earning money.
Losing the money was actually a gift for them. Thank you for posting this documentary. It really enriches watching a stage production, however fictionalized.
narniagirl 4ever extremely well said. I could not agree more. You are very articulate. Have a great day/night.
Wow. Brutal. Hope you don't go through Hell to be judged by cruel and at wrong times for comments.
YOUR COMMENT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL & POIGNANT...;)
The first part of what you said, I agree with. But losing the money was not a gift to them, it stirred bitterness and caused a permanent divide in the family. There's nothing wrong with having money, after all, Abraham was rich and so was Job, not to mention King David. I really hate it that Captain von Trapp was so miserable here in the USA. In her book she said that he never learned to speak English. He felt himself to be an exile. How sad.
@daniel letterman !
My mother said she saw the family perform when she was a teenager, in Livingston Montana.
Julie Hollar I was a teenager in Livingston, Montana once in September 1973. I'm trying to be funny. I left Amarillo, Texas headed to Stockton, California for college, by way of Seattle. Some minor car repairs were necessary as I passed through Livingston. I found a mechanic who did some adjustments so that my car ran better. For payment he wanted me to treat him and a buddy at a bar next door. I was 18 on my first trip alone this far from home. Even going into a bar was uncomfortable for me. I refused that means of payment, we talked out a fair amount, and I hit the road. I was stopped for about seven hours. My only time ever in Livingston. (Hope that's not too goofy. Seeing the town's name stirred some memories.)
@@rickruthstrom222 I lived in Worcester Vermont from 1971till 1972. In "71" I worked for Hooker Furniture which was on the Barre-Montpelier Rd.
Hooker's had the job to replace al the hallway carpets in the Von Trapp Lodge. Every day I would be in the hallways doing my job on my knees, and Maria would come down the hall once or twice everyday and stand right behind me in an intimidating arms folded stance, and without ever saying a word, would watch what i was doing for a few moments. She never spoke to me, asked me questions, or anything. Just liked to stand there in an intimidating stance. My interaction with Maria Von Trapp.

Great and historical video. I started and could not stop until finished. Great history.
I literally just said this...when life gets a certain kind of hard, I watch the Sound of Music to recenter myself♥️♥️♥️
For those complaining about Austria not having a sea coast: At the time Baron von Trapp was in the navy (1898-1918), Austria was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. WWI ended that alliance & Austria shrank to its current borders.
YES !! THANK YOU
Yes, it used to include countries which have coastlines along the Adriatic Sea.
thanks much . I was attempting to figure this out ...
Trieste, the western end of the triangular Istrian Peninsula, was part of Austria at that time. The big naval base was in Pola, the southern tip of the Istrian triangle. It's part of Croatia now.
My Mom was in a family singing group in Vermont singing Gospel music at churches. I asked her about them and she said the Von Traps kept to themselves. Since they sang mostly classical music and the Vincent's Gospel, they didn't tour the same venues and never saw them.
You glad I found this, I called my mother to tell her where to find it. She watches the sound of music religiously every year, thank you.
TUDO O QUE VI E OUVI É SIMPLSMENTE MARAVILHOSO
Such an amazing story, and nobody in this family could ever have guessed it at all what a life they would have. So many turns and tumbles and happy end.

I'd be willing to bet that Maria suffered from undiagnosed Borderline Personality Disorder, a condition frequently associated with neglect & abuse in early childhood. Many sufferers experience inappropriate, intense anger that can be difficult to control, often followed by intense shame & guilt because of their actions, frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment (like not wanting the children to strike out on their own), a markedly disturbed sense of identity (often depending on those around them to provide them with a basis for who they are), among other symptoms. People with BPD feel emotions with greater ease & depth for a longer time that others do. A core characteristic of BPD is affective instability, which generally manifests as unusually intense emotional responses to environmental triggers, with a slower return to a baseline emotional state. People with BPD are often exceptionally enthusiastic, idealistic, joyful, and loving, but may feel overwhelmed by negative emotions (anxiety, depression, guilt/shame, worry, anger, etc.), experiencing intense grief instead of sadness, shame and humiliation instead of mild embarrassment, rage instead of annoyance, and panic instead of nervousness. It's a difficult diagnosis to have to live with. There's no medication to treat it, most mental health practitioners don't accept patients with it, the motion picture industry & media continues to portray it in the most hateable way, &, well, this year...Amber Heard. 🙄✌🏼
I could watch this over and over again!
I watched their movie when I was in middle school. My favorite movie “ The Sound of Music “
👍👏👏👏🎼🎶🎶💞💞💞
