'The Sound of Music': What Was the von Trapp Family's True Story?
The Big Picture "I can't seem to stop singing wherever I am." Julie Andrews' Fräulein Maria just couldn't resist making melodies. Whether it was on a mountain overlooking Salzburg or in a rowboat on the Salzach River, the pixie-haired songstress was the human phonograph of late 1930s Austria that simply couldn't be turned off, and moviegoers wanted the music to play on.
In the movie, Maria is sent to the home of Baron Georg von Trapp to act as governess to the widower's seven children. In reality, however, Maria was sent by the convent on a 10-month assignment to be a tutor for one of the Baron's daughters who was recovering from a bout with scarlet fever.
Did 'The Sound of Music's Love Triangle Happen in Real Life? And what about the love triangle between the Baron, Maria, and the evil Baroness ? The character of the cold woman intent on snagging the wealthy father is based on a person named Princess Yvonne.
How Did the von Trapp Family Actually Escape Nazi Germany? While The Sound of Music played fast and loose with a number of aspects of the true von Trapp story, it took its greatest dramatic liberties with its representation of the family's escape from Nazi occupation. In the film, Baron von Trapp, refusing to accept an appointment under Hitler's command, plots a dangerously risky escape from Austria for his family during the Salzburg Music Festival.
