This tribute to a Hollywood classic is sure to thrill everyone who's ever sung along to "My Favorite Things" at one of the many screenings that still take place today.
Through interviews with the cast and crew, in-depth access to memorabilia and personal scrapbooks, and archival research at Fox Studios, author Julia Antopol Hirsch reveals the lively human story behind the making of the von Trapp family film. Fans will learn what motivated Christopher Plummer to take the part of the Captain, the challenges Julie Andrews faced filming the iconic opening scene, and what life was like on an Austrian set for the seven children actors.

Behind the scenes information
Loved learning the behind the scenes information of one of my favourite films by my favourite director. Interesting to learn William Wyler was first involved, he is my second favourite film director.
Great history of the film and references to the actual Von Trapps.
If you enjoy the movie, you are sure to enjoy this behind the scenes information.
