1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Sound of Music (1965)?
a.		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. Salzburg is in fact only a few miles away from the Austrian-German border, and is much too far from either the Swiss or Italian borders for a family to escape by walking. Had the von Trapps hiked over the mountains, they would have ended up in Germany, near Adolf Hitlers mountain retreat.
b.		The shot towards the beginning of the film, in which Si looks at himself in the dresser mirror of his darkened bedroom, is a play on the passage from 1 Corinthians 13:12, "For now we see through a glass, darkly" which Ingmar Bergman used for the title of his film Såsom i en spegel.
c.		Larry Joshua is actually older than the two main counselors.
d.		Initially, Germanys Ministry of Defense would not allow filming on Bendler Block. They relented after appeals from Tom Cruise and screenwriter/producer Christopher McQuarrie. The entire crew started every night of filming with a moment of silence in memory of Stauffenberg.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Sound of Music (1965)?
a.		The title song was later adapted as the theme song for Eddie Cantors radio program.

c.		When setting up for filming the Captain and Marias 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.
d.		This movies opening prologue states: "When Japan attacked, he led us back to victory . . . . When Korea exploded, we turned to him again . . . . To this day there are those who think he was a dangerous demagogue and others who say he was one of the greatest men who ever lived. There is little doubt, however, that he affected the lives of millions all over the world, many of whom do not even know his name."

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Sound of Music (1965)?
a.		The red "Valdosta" courthouse is actually the Pike County Courthouse in Zebulon, GA.

As a result of Donald Pleasences death, as well as creative differences between Joe Chappelle and the producer, and an allegedly bad test screening of the original work (the famous producers cut) re-shoots were done as well as lots of editing, to the anger of most of the cast and crew. Many vowed never to make another Halloween movie again after all the changes.
c.		The city of New York absolutely prohibited the recreation of 9/11 destruction or chaos on location.

The drive of the officers up to the site was permitted to be filmed, but all scenes depicting events at or near the WTC were filmed in Los Angeles.

a.		Marni Nixon had become well known in Hollywood circles as a ghost singer for the leads in several film adaptations of hit Broadway musicals. She provided the vocals for Deborah Kerr in The King and I, Natalie Wood in West Side Story and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. "The Sound of Music" provided a rare onscreen performance by Marni Nixon, who plays Sister Sophia. Julie Andrews had previously appeared on Broadway in My Fair Lady but was passed over for the film. The producers were wary of how Julie Andrews would react to Nixon because she dubbed Audrey Hepburns vocals in a role made famous by Andrews. When Andrews first met Nixon, she exclaimed, "Marni, Im a fan of you!" and the producers were relieved.

c.		The film was first released in 1946.

d.		All of the earthquake sequences in the film were actually filmed one month prior to the Los Angeles quake of 94. The real quake struck only 2 weeks before the end of filming. Subsequently, a unit was sent out to film drive-by footage of actual quake damaged areas of the city before the end of filming. The cast and crew believed that the earthquake scenes that were filmed before the real quake struck were perhaps a bit overdone, but when viewed after the real quake hit, all were frightened by the realism of it.
