- Julie Andrews meets the real Maria von Trapp from the 45th anniversary Blu-ray of THE SOUND OF MUSIC. Originally from The Julie Andrews Hour.
The 1965 film The Sound of Music is 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".

Julie Andrews is the human you'd take to the aliens to try and convince them not to kill us all. So beautiful, so elegant and so humble.
I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon visiting Marie Von Trapp at her home in Stowe, Vt., in July 1968. She was an amazing woman and very strong. We hiked up a mountaintop to show me, my mother and sister the gravesite of the Baron Von Trapp. I was 15 years old and was totally out of breath when we got there and she made the climb without any problem. I'll never forget that experience!
When I was in college she came and spoke at our school ... and she was just as sweet and funny. She told stories about Mr. Von Trapp and his disaster of a front porch (it went down) and when asked if there was anything she was unhappy with or didn't like about the movie ... she thought for a moment with that smile of hers and then said that she wished that the theater folks AND the movie folks had looked at a map and realized that Switzerland is NOT just over the hill from Austria ... LOL
I had no idea Julie met Maria. That's amazing!
both woman are golden
The real Maria lived to be 82 years and died in 1987
The real Maria Von Trapp had a amazing voice
FYI- Yodeling was a form of communication, in the mountains and valleys, before there was electricity and telephones.
No one could have played Maria VonTrapp better than Julie Andrews! She made the film classic iconic & timeless world wide!
So UA-cam is only gonna start recommending this to me in 2019???
Julie Andrews is my favorite Disney princess.
Maria: You were absolutely wonderful, but
Yodeling is meant to exaggerate the "break" between registers. Julie had been classically trained for most of her life and had really blended together her break. Her muscle memory amd conditioning literally made yodeling impossible.
Aww, this brought tears to my eyes. My mom would play her Sound of Music cassette in our station wagon when I was a little girl, I grew up singing all of those songs with her. She always said when she got to heaven she was going to eat like a pig and sing like Julie Andrews, lol. She went there last year, so enjoy, Mom, you deserve it.
back in the 80s... I lived in Stowe Vermont... And I had a part-time job with Maria Von Trapp in her home as her private cook... Maria loved her Birds and fed them everyday... She had a candle and statue of Jesus and blessed mother in each room... her favorite program where The Waltons... it reminded her of her own family... I want since to do store to a tuna casserole... She never had anything like this before... She loved it... She had asked me to make it with chicken the next time and so she invited her whole family for chicken casserole... she also loved her bread and butter... She was a good soul and was proud of her accomplishments and she loved her family... I will never forget her she made a difference in my life... She had a great faith in God... That's what made her special...
Julie Andrews is just ridiculously enchanting
Added note: When I traveled to Austria, I (of COURSE !) took the Sound of Music tour. When asked what the Austrians though about the film, the tour guide said, none of the Austrians were familiar with the Von Trapp Family story until the movie came out, because, the same experience was happening to ALL Austrians, not just the Von Trapps.
Aaahhh so damn cool the legend Julie Andrews with the women herself Maria von Trapp, faints!!! Yes I know the Broadway musical and Hollywood movie were fictionalized for entertainment, but of true events. I'd so much love to here the actual events of the story of "The Sound of Music" from Maria von Trapp herself, but I'm not sure if such a video exists, sighs.
Oh my gosh! I was in the audience for this show! My Mother used to love going to these shows and Julie Andrews was really difficult to get tickets for.
These are the kind of role models young kids should be watching. Simple, humble, talented.
