No I don’t care for remakes of this one. I prefer my Julie Andrews.


DP. Love Julie too, but the film is of course a remake of the stage musical, not the other way around.


The current stage musicals follow the movie though, don’t they? And like I said, I don’t care for remakes of the movie. To me that’s the one and only.


I don't think so. The stage show has some songs that weren't in the movie, and Rodgers wrote I Have Confidence and Something Good just for the movie.

One of my favorite movies of all time. I love the wedding scene, and Christopher Plummer was so handsome. The music is unforgettable.

She was a nun.


Plus it helped emphasize the contrast between her and high society that was more appearance-focused.

I'm trying to find that satirical piece that made the rounds online years ago where the Baroness sends a letter to her friends announcing her broken engagement. Funny stuff. I bet Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews had a good laugh over it.


DP. Here you go:

"While I was a bit startled to be thrown aside for someone who flunked out of nun school, I assure you that I will be fine, and my main pursuits in life shall continue to be martinis, bon mots, and looking fabulous."


Love!

Heaven. I love the fact that when I was a little kid, I loved the scenes with the kids singing, and I probably found the Laendler scene boring. But when I became an adult, I fell hard for that scene.

The scene when the captain realizes his children have been traipsing all over Salzburg wearing the bedroom drapes gets me every time.

Maria was intended to have her hair covered by her nun's habit.

This is a fun article with some candids during the filming of the movie.
