- Synopsis
- The story recounted in both the stage and screen versions of The Sound of Music had earlier been presented in two German films that were never released in the US. The Trapp Family (1956) was one of the biggest box office hits of the postwar cinema in West Germany and Austria; based on the memoirs of an Austrian baroness, the film told the story of a novice who marries a baron and with his seven children sets up a choir singing folk songs. In 1938, after Hitler's takeover of Austria, they are forced to emigrate. That much of the story most of us know. The Trapp Family in America (1958) continues their tale, showing their initial travails in their new homeland and their day-to-day problems surviving in a miserable New York slum until they finally manage to create for themselves a steady income and eventually a new home. See an impoverished and bashful Austrian baroness trying to understand the American meaning of sex appeal! A famous German children choir, the Regensburger Domspatzen, dubbed the musical numbers
