While the final version of the opening moments is just a beautiful vista in Austria with the swelling music of the movie’s title theme, what Julie Andrews experienced was quite different.
But according to Julie Andrews’ comments on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, that’s apparently not the case.
It’s mostly funny because when you look back at a classic like The Sound of Music, the movie itself has such an air of dignity to it that one just sort of assumes that the production of the movie did as well.
She also had to put up with what we can only assume was an immense amount of noise coming from a helicopter, which was probably doing a decent job drowning out the massive speakers hidden in trees that were playing the music Andrews was trying to lip sync to.
