The Sound of Music | comment |
The Sound of Music is the 1965 film adaptation of the 1959 musical of the same name, in turn adapted from the memoir of Maria von Trapp, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers. The film was directed by Robert Wise and stars Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.Like the musical, it is set in Salzburg, Austria in 1938. It is about the spirited young postulant Maria who is sent to become governess to the von Trapp family, comprised of the widowed Captain Georg and his seven children. Despite their mischief, the children grow to respect Maria, and she teaches them how to sing. This newfound hobby not only brings the Captain closer to his children, but also to Maria, despite his prior engagement to the wealthy Baroness Schrader. However, the Anschluss is also at their doorsteps and the Captain is strongly opposed, necessitating an escape into the Alps. | |

Never Trust a Trailer: The original trailer for the movie used a lot of alternate takes for scenes, utilizing different line deliveries and/or camera angles than the final film. Some posters and DVD covers color Maria's picnic dress pink or blue, instead of brown. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
The Sound of Music / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: In the show, Rolfe finds the family and calls for his Lieutenant, but decides not to turn them in after seeing Liesl. In the movie, Rolfe almost lets them get away after the Captain takes his gun but ends up calling for the Nazis anyway. Zig-Zigged by the Baroness's character. She's cattier to Maria in the film adaptation, and even that is fairly downplayed, but once she realizes she's lost the Captain to her, she exits much more gracefully and amicably than in the original stage musical, where she hardly interacts with Maria at all, and she and the captain split messily after it becomes clear they can't agree on whether to oppose or passively tolerate the Nazis. The film also portrays the Baroness and the children as seeming to barely know each other, while the stage version gives dialogue explaining that the children certainly like her fine but simply prefer Maria by far. | |

The Sound of Music / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The film takes advantage of the fact that it doesn't take place on a single stage in order to expand the story, with events such as Maria taking longer to gain the children's trust, an extended trip through Salzburg and up into the mountains, and the kids trying to go and see Maria when she returns to the abbey. | |

'60s Hair: In the 1965 film, Maria dons a bowl cut, which would be considered out of place in late 1930s Austria. Somewhat justified in that Maria would've had her hair cut short upon entering the convent as a postulant, but still.... | |

Historical Hero Upgrade | |
The Sound of Music / int_3e8d9cd3 | comment |
Historical Hero Upgrade: Despite his dislike for the Nazi regime, Georg strongly considered taking up the offered commission in the Kriegsmarine. Since the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War I, he had been a submarine captain in a country without a navy. The commission offered him the opportunity to revisit what had made him a hero. In either way, Georg couldn't have been conscripted because he was technically an Italian citizen.note His birthplace of Zara/Zadar in modern Croatia was annexed by Italy after World War I. | |

Recycled Soundtrack: The title song had its intro re-written for the movie version.

Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Done by the two nuns at the end of the movie who remove key components from the Nazis' cars to keep them from working; technically, sabotaging a vehicle is against both legal codes and their holy orders. They even admit to it by saying "Reverend Mother, I have sinned." | |

Book Ends: The film opens with panoramic views of the mountains, then zooms onto Maria note Somewhat ironically, this iconic scene which establishes Maria's deep love for the essentially Austrian countryside was actually shot on the German side of the border since the filmmakers considered the scenery there much more photogenic.. The movie ends with Maria and her new family hiking through the same mountains towards the safety of the border. The camera pulls back to give us another panorama of those mountains. | |

Sliding Scale of Adaptation Modification: Type 4. The only changes worth mentioning are that some of the songs occur in different parts of the film and Rolfe being stripped of his redeeming scene where he decided not to rat the Von Trapps out and does the exact opposite. | |

Obsolete Occupation: Captain Georg von Trapp (as in real life) was a celebrated submarine captain of the Austro-Hungarian imperial navy, but at the time of the film Austria is a landlocked country, causing his retirement. When Nazi Germany annexes Austria they offer him a commission in the German navy but he refuses on principle. | |

Villainy-Free Villain: The Baroness is shown to genuinely love Von Trapp and her jealousy is mostly justified. Nevertheless, the children aren’t very enthusiastic of her after Maria leaves despite her efforts to be motherly towards them. Sure, she inspired Maria to leave, and planned to send the children to a boarding school,note none of which the children knew about, they just are much closer to Maria but the alternative was to live with a woman that her husband and his seven children loved more than her. | |

What You Are in the Dark: Max spends most of the story as a leech and an opportunist to Captain Von Trapp and the Nazis, claiming that it's better to bend to the Reich's will than to fight to an inevitable defeat. Come the film's climax, he warns them via a Batman Gambit during a Music Festival that the Nazis are going to force Captain Von Trapp to work for them, and stalls during the awards to give them enough time to escape. | |

The Sound of Music / int_b56de77d | comment |
Misplaced Vegetation: When Captain von Trapp asks the children where they had been (after they came back from their unsuccessful visit to the monastery to see Maria), they claim that they were picking wild berries. When asked to identify what kind of berries they were, they answer they it was blueberries. Granted that it was a fib to begin with, but, since blueberries are native to North America and were introduced in significant amount to Europe only in 1930s, it is highly improbable that any European child in 1930s would have thought to fib that they were out picking wild blueberries. | |

Decoy Protagonist: Maria. She is a major focus for the first two acts before quickly fading to the background in the last hour immediately after the wedding. The final hour makes it clear that the real protagonist is the Captain. Notably this is the second major film in which this happened to Julie Andrews, despite being the most memorable character. | |

Artistic License – Geography: Heading over the beautiful Alps the way they show in the movie would lead them straight into Germany, not Switzerland.

Adaptational Context Change | |
The Sound of Music / int_f33ff01c | comment |
Adaptational Context Change: In the play, Maria and the Mother Abbess sing "My Favorite Things", after Maria recalls that hearing the nuns at Nonnberg sing made her want to join them. In the movie, Maria sings it to the Von Trapp children during a thunderstorm, leading to a confrontation with the Captain when he catches everyone staying up past bedtime. In the play, Maria and the children sing "Do-Re-Mi" during her first day as the kids' governess. In the movie, Maria takes longer to earn the children's respect, so "Do-Re-Mi" doesn't begin until at least her second day as governess. The movie also has the song performed in a montage, indicating that the children took several weeks to learn how to sing, as opposed to the one day shown on stage. In the play, Maria and the children sing "The Lonely Goatherd" during the aforementioned thunderstorm. In the movie, they perform it as a puppet show for the Captain, the Baroness, and Uncle Max. The Captain and Liesl follow this up with "Edelweiss", which the play saved until the Salzburg Festival. (The movie also the Von Trapps sing "Edelweiss" at that festival, as a reprise.) | |

Distressed Dude: Technically, Captain von Trapp. It's his life and freedom that's at risk in the final act, first by the Third Reich wanting to recruit his naval skills for their cause, and then when Rolfe points a gun at him. Maria and the children are significant only insofar that they're important to Georg. | |

Movie Bonus Song: "I Have Confidence" and "Something Good" (which replaced the stage version's "An Ordinary Couple"). Rodgers wrote his own lyrics for both, as Oscar Hammerstein had died in 1960. | |
