The Sound of Music Story
The Sound of Music Story | Tom Santopietro
5 posts | 2 read | 13 to read
In March 1965 the film of The Sound of Music was released - and the love affair between moviegoers and the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical began. Rarely has a film so captured the love and imagination of the public, blending history, music, Austrian location filming, heartfelt emotion and the yodelling of Julie Andrews into a monster hit. Now, Tom Santopietro has written the ultimate "Sound of Music" fan book with all the inside information - the real-life story of the Von Trapps, the behind the dramas of the casting - we all know that Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer played Maria and Captain Von Trapp, but who else had been considered? and the many hazards of shooting the film on location. We learn how some of the iconic songs came into being and what the actors really thought of it. Tom Santopietro knows all and will tell all. The Sound of Music Story is a book for everyone who cherishes this classic musical.

This was lovely bedtime reading. Just finished, I've been reading a chapter or two every few days for a few weeks now. If you are a Julie Andrew fan or a Sound of Music fan, you will LOVE this book. I loved learning all about the filming of it! Casual fans might find some parts tedious, but if you are like me and know all the yodels in Lonely Goatherd, you'll adore this book.
P.S. I once met Julie Andrews and she is as lovely as you'd hope.

MrBook Great review! 6y
Kaye I‘ve had this on audio for awhile now. I‘ll have to get to it one of these days. Sounds good. 6y

#TBRtemptation post 7! On March 2, 1965, "The Sound of Music" was released in the US and has been extremely popular ever since. This is the ultimate fan book with a look at all the behind-the-scenes stories concerning the movie's filming in Austria and Hollywood, the Broadway production, and interviews with real-life von Trapps and other figures. From pre-production to post-release controversies, this is it! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?

akc2ngel I am going to an off-Broadway production of this in December. I am really looking forward to the show. 7y
HippieChickHomeschool Thanks for sharing this! Im going to get this for my mom for Christmas. She's a huge fan! 7y
