Question: How did Captain Von Trapp know that Maria sat on a pine cone?
The Sound of Music (1965)
1 question since 27 Dec '24, 09:47
Directed by: Robert Wise
Starring: Christopher Plummer, Julie Andrews, Eleanor Parker, Richard Haydn
Continuity mistake: Christopher Plummer throws down the drape the kids used for clothing on the ground. Then he walks away and there's a clear shot of the ground and the drape has vanished.
Maria: I am not finished yet, Captain!
Captain Von Trapp: Oh yes you are, Captain! Fraulein, you will pack your things this minute and return to the Abbey.
Trivia: The front and back of the von Trapp house are actually two different houses. Also, the gazebo (which belongs to the house used for the back shots) is across a river from the house. You can take the Sound of Music tour in Salzburg.
