“SOUND OF MUSIC”
was majorly, filmed
in Salzburg and Vienna
in 1963 with
Christopher Plummer, Julie Andrews
in lead and seven children upto the age of 18
were also in major cast.
The movie till date–commands a demand
of its viewing and re-viewing and sale of its DVDs
for its powerful impact and fascinating story…
true story of a German dissident…from Navy,
Captain Von Trapp who resisted Adolf Hitler’s
moves for the advent of world war-II.
VON TRAPP had seven children. His wife died at the age of 35.
He kept a governess when Maria of the Salzburg Abbey,
with the permission of the Church of England, got married to him
after serving him as the Governess to his children.
Von Trapp settled in United states eventually…
where Maria after the birth of her three children,
died at the age of 88…some years back.
