The Sound of Music Edelweiss video song reviews from users:  Richard Hammerstein
Although Christopher Plummer's own vocals were in fact recorded, it was subsequently decided that he should be dubbed. When setting up for filming the Captain and Maria's wedding scene, there was nobody at the altar to wed them when they reached the top of the stairs. Someone had forgotten to summon the actor playing the bishop. According to Julie Andrews, the real bishop of Salzburg is seen in the movie. Oscar Rodgers
Titles of The Sound of Music film in foreign countries translate to English as Smiles and Tears (Spain), The Melody of Happiness (France), "The Rebellious Novice" (Argentina). In Croatia the movie is known under the same title as in Austria and Germany- "My Song - My Dream". Charmian Lee
Christopher Plummer intensely disliked working on the film. He's been known to refer to it as "The Sound of Mucus" or "S&M" and likened working with Julie Andrews to "being hit over the head with a big Valentine's Day card, every day." Nontheless, he and Andrews have remained close friends ever since. Christopher Carr
I like very much Edelweiss video song who was written for the musical and is little known in Austria. The song was the last that Oscar Hammerstein II wrote before his passing in 1960. While the von Trapp family hiked over the Alps to Switzerland in the movie, in reality they walked to the local train station and boarded the next train to Italy. From Italy, they fled to London and ultimately the USA. |
