Today in History, March 2nd, "The Sound of Music" first aired in theaters.
The 1965 film, which had a budget of 8 million dollars, went on to become the first movie to top !00 million in sales. Eventually it netted 268 million globally. Although it won the Academy Award for Best Picture, its nominated actress Julia Andrews lost out to Julie Christie for her role in "Desire."
Before the movie became a Hollywood blockbuster, its story was first captured in a West Germany film titled, "The Trapp Family," and it was a Broadway Play that shared the same name, "The Sound of Music," that came out in 1959.
In homage to the movie filmed nearly 60 years ago, here are several of my photos replicating scenes from "The Sound of Music" and otherwise photographing locations in Salzburg, Austria that were highlighted in the film:
And while this was the exterior of the Von Trapp family home as shown in the movie, photos of the actual real-life home that the family left when they fled from Austria follow:
And these are rooms inside the real-life Von Trapp family home beginning with one we stayed in which had been Maria's room when she first came to join the family as a governess for the children:
And these are screen clips of Julie Andrews' first visit to the real-life Von Trapp family home upon the occasion of her return to Salzburg in conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of "The Sound of Music:"
(Both the photo above and immediately below depict the entrance to the Von Trapp family home. Included In both photos are the entry mirror and below it a piece of furniture that is original to the house as it was lived in by the Von Trapp family up until they fled Austria in 1938. In the movie their departure is depicted as heading on foot over the Austrian Alps while in real-life they boarded a train at a platform located at the back of their property. Reportedly that was the last train to leave Austria before the Nazis blocked further travel out of the country.)
And this is the home in Salzburg that was used in the movie "Sound of Music" for interior shots of the Von Trapp family home:
Really like those "Then and Now" photos. Imagine how few cameras were even available when that first photo was taken. Definitely color wasn't available then so unless colorized the scene might be from some type of recreation like a movie set?
From the all knowing internet:
"The first commercially successful color photography process appeared on the market in 1907, when the French Lumière brothers, by then famous in the world of cinema, introduced the Lumière Autochrome."

Some additions for Friday:
The wedding scene was actually filmed in this church some distance from Salzburg although the exterior shot of the church in the movie was located at the Abbey in Salzburg:
And here are scenes from within the above pictured church which include as it was adorned for the shooting of the movie and how it appeared when Julie Andrews revisited it for the 50th anniversary of the movie "Sound of Music":
And this is the iconic view seen in an opening scene of the movie as I more recently photographed it:
