- The Sound of Music was one of the most successful musicals of all time, depicting the true story of the singing Von Trapp family, with Mary Martin playing Maria Von Trapp on Broadway, and Julie Andres playing the part in the classic film. The movie ends with the Von Trapp's crossing the Alps to escape the Nazis, who have occupied Austria. But what happened after the closing credits? We catch up with Sam Von Trapp, grandson to the original singing clan, at his place near Stowe Vermont, and hear the rest of the story
I can't even count how many times I've watched this movie I'm 61 years old and I have watched it over and over again throughout the decades. I never get tired of it and I never will it's probably the most wonderful movie ever made
wow thanks for your comment!
I'm 61 aĺso
I would much prefer earlier original movie made in German with much closer to original story line, real atmosphere of Austria & different actors as well.
Love the Sound of Music it was the first flim I saw in a cinema. Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer were brilliant and perfect casting. It's one of the greatest films ever made.
Christopher Plummer detested The Sound of Music - he called it "The Sound of Mucus."
It makes me sad to know that they're all gone now. The last surviving sibling diied in 2014 (of the original seven).
There weren't 7 there was originally 10 children
@@kevjacko1138The widowed Baron George con Trapp had seven children before he married Maria, with whom he had three more children. Only Johannes (born in 1939), the youngest of Maria and George's children is still alive.
The family lives on, and as long as they remember, the siblings won't truly be gone.
But they had long, full lives and their heirs live on and so does their story.
Wow, what a great interview! The Sound of Music was one of the formative movies of my youth growing up in the 1960s, and it brings tears to my eyes to learn that the family survived and prospered after escaping the Nazis.
Thumbs-UP #793 I am Thursday afternoon 13 February 2020! I was FINALLY offered (because I did not know it existed) the Deutsch version of The Sound Of Music, Die Trapp Familie, I believe it is titled and I now consider IT so much better. It shows them in the United States near the end. I still watch The Sound Of Music because it is fun and has Julie Andrews.
Thank You so much for this video! It is wonderful! Vermont is beautiful!
Please (Bitte) - do you have the link to Die Trapp Familie??

Обе версии - прекрасны!!!
I stayed at the Von Trapp lodge two years ago. The Stowe area is beautiful. The hotel needs updating. The curtains are ( possibly) from 1942, worn and tattered. The rooms, weather worn. Their idea of a handicapped room, bathroom is to add a seat that moves on top of the toilet. It's a bit run down for over $200 a night, with no breakfast. You're basically paying for the location and the view. The Maria pool leaked, so they kept adding freezing cold water. How can a pool be so cold in August? I would love to go back to the location. I'm not sure about the lodge.
Maybe tourists have been cutting up the curtains to make into clothes.
@@huskyfaninmass1042 Probably!!!
You were "robbed " by selling history
@@huskyfaninmass1042 Now that's funny, I don't care who you are!
VERY BEAUTIFUL AND STAYING AT THE VON TRAPP HOTEL IS MOST BEAUTIFUL THE FEELING OF HAPPINESS AND BEAUTY RUNS THROUGHOUT THE PROPERTY, THE DINING ROOM, THE OUTDOORS, EVERYTHING. TRULY A VERY WORTHWHILE PLACE TO SPEND YOUR VACATION. WHETHER WINTER FALL SUMMER ON SPRING, ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL.
glad you enjoyed it, Elvira. Thanks for sharing.
TO Richard Banks: I am glad you liked my comment it is very true.
I love Maria Von Trapp and Family and wish them the best of everything.
lovely thanks for your comment!
I named my daughter after “ LIESL” in the film. She grew up to love this story and film as much as I do, we have been to Salzburg many times and have visited all the filming locations. My Liesl wrote to Charmain Carr when she was a teenager , after the actress had written her book” Forever Liesl” and the actress wrote back to her. Forever in our hearts❤
Thank you for sharing this.
thanks for watching!
My mom and grandma went to the lodge and saw one of the actual live grandchildren playing the piano!!!!! I wish I was there to to experience that!!!! I really want to go to the lodge with my mom!
Love this movie!! Nothing will ever surpass it. So fun to sing along!! Great interview!! Thank you for posting it!!
For whatever it is worth; true or untrue it is a fantastic "story". Loved it!
thanks, Diane!
Richard bangs hello my name not Diane
The main thing is that they were courageous in going against Hitler and his take over of their country
The cross country trails at the Trapp Lodge in Stowe, VT are beautiful. My husband and I have had many nice vacations there. The cabin at the top of the East Pasture Trail is a rewarding destination. Great bread, soups and hot cider! This clip with one of the Von Trapps was very interesting.
Go there if you can - it's a dream vacation. It's so beatiful in Vermont. I was right there just minutes away - so close and yet so far! I was in the middle of some important business and didn't have a second to spare. Now, visiting their establishment is on my bucket list.
Loved the movie but, the real story written by Maria is so wonderful, loving and funny it defies description.
I love watching the movie THE SOUND OF MUSIC.Iwas in standed 4 when I went to the movies to watch it.with the encouragement of our Teacher at the time Mr wesmyer who was dutch
The school was Mayfair.
Also I dont know how many times Ive watched it and will continue its so beautiful.
I love your story very much!!! I think it's a wonderful story!
My father wrote the original von Trapp Family screenplay in Germany. Very successful. The rights were then sold to a US producer (I think), and that then became the Sound of Music. My father also wrote the (German) sequel, The von Trapp family in America, which was also very successful in Germany. I hope to visit Vermont this year and stay at the von Trapp lodge!
I have watched Sound of Music a dozen times. now in my 80's i came across a channel here in the Philippines showing it but as a live play.I don't know but when it came to that part of Maria getting married to the baron.I shed tears .It was awesome.Much as I'd like to see their lodge in Vermont I know its already impossible coz of my age & of course financial status.i appreciate however your blog kind sir Richard.
I've actually visited this place :) It was a great experience in high school, and I would love to go again :)
So cool to see this. Thank you for sharing. :)
you're welcome!
A wonderful family. I still cry when I watch the movie, 50 years later. I think it's an old man thing.😢 Glad to see this.
Это не стариковская вещь! Это не стареющая история любви 💖💖💖🎄🎄🎄
One of my favorite movies of all time!
I have been watching this scince I was 4yrs old and now I’m 12yrs
This is so gorgeous!
Love the history of the VonTrapp family.
I remember Rupert fondly. He was or family Dr. Growing up. I believe he retired about the time I started high school. That would have been around 1977. I can remember him making house calls to see my Vovo (grandmother) not long before she passed.
Beautiful! One of my favorite movies ever! 😍👍🌹💖🌞🐨😊
i love the sound of 🎶
me too! so nostalgic
It’s beautiful there. Not quite the Alps but still wonderful
Thank you for sharing it was interesting I would love to visit there some day .always loved the story .do you till sell recordings of your singing .
thanks, Mary!
that is not my name .
I know, Jessica. I was talking to Mary!
@@RichardBangs Are there recordings still available? If so, where? I cannot express how wonderful your story is! I am 70 now and watch the movie many times a year! It is my children's favorite as well! We wish you and your family a safe and happy Holiday Season!
Johannes should be blowing that whistle to call his guests back from the fields for Lunch. I went to camp in Vermont. We were called back by bull horn.
Wonderful!
My Oma Betty saw the Trapp Family Singers in a Catholic Church in Philadelphia in, I believe, the 1940's. Their Roman Catholic faith was inspirational. But I don't think the family is very Catholic anymore. I find that sad.
So lovely!
Julie's face at 2:37 is priceless. shes like "huh wtf?" Great Grandchildren performing th-cam.com/video/tEjLS0OHWnQ/w-d-xo.html.
slightly wrong They were still there when Hitler was Chancellor in 1933 , they left because George decided not join the Nazis as a sub marine officer they decide to leave and did by the Railway
seems everyone has a different version!
love how the grandson is being told his family history has been told to him incorrectly
yes this is correct
He is correct in saying it the way he did.
A German film "Die Trapp Familie" had the timeframe more accurate than Sound of Music, AND it has a sequel as well, showing the beginnig of their time in the US and how they bought the house in Vermont. It also has the eldest child being a boy and the names are totally different.
Grandson Sam is very handsome.
You make it sound like it was very recently.
Did the family ever try to recoup the Austrian castle?
From what I've read, the villa was given back to the family after the war was over, and they sold it to a missionary organization. In 2008 it was converted into a hotel.
there were 3 movies about the von trapps before sound of music.. the 2nd and 3rd follow the von trapps in america
Wow
my mom say hello
hello!
The 1965 movie may have been inspired by the Von Trapps' story but it certainly wasn't based on it!
very cool house
How cool to know.
80+ 2nd cousins
OH MY GAWD
there are von trapps in vermont and in austria
Is his father Johannes?
Yes
Imagine how rich the family would be had Maria not sold the rights. Then again they may not have made the movie if she hadn’t sold it
Thanks, I prefer German movie over American
Chris parks is a good arted
The sound of music didn't depict the true story of the Von Trapp family. They left Austria ten years before the Nazis showed up. And also didn't 'escape' by climinbing over a mountain. Their singing instructor was a catholic priest, not a local empressario named 'Max'. It's all in Maria's book.
True, much was different (a few examples come up in this interview). You are, however, mistaken on one point -- they DID, in fact, leave Austria after the Nazis came (which was many years after Maria & Georg had married, and added two children to the family), though they did not *flee*. (Georg was actually an Italian citizen -- the part of the Austrio-Hungarian Empire he had born in became, after WWI, part of Italy... though it is now part of Croatia -- so they were able to openly travel there.)
For more, here is a very helpful telling of the REAL story. www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2005/winter/von-trapps.html
Bruce Johnson You're correct about them leaving Austria after the Nazis showed up. I meant to say that they were _married_ more than ten years before the Nazis showed up. Sorry about my misstatement.
hello
Damn, sam is hot!
not bad for $3.50

I hope that the Von Trapp family today supports the rights of brown and black refugees who wish to immigrate to the United States.
