Supplemental context

The Sound of Music adapts a stage musical into a screen story of a governess and the von Trapp family. The studio credits Robert Wise as director and producer and Ernest Lehman as screenwriter, and lists Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer among the cast. The musical form lets domestic relationships and political danger coexist with songs and landscape spectacle. A future audience could compare the experience of listening to a song alone with seeing its placement in a longer drama. Preserving the film’s credited version matters more than treating a familiar hilltop image as the entire work.

Creator/community: Robert Wise, director and producer; Ernest Lehman, screenwriter; Rodgers and Hammerstein musical; Julie Andrews and cast Place/era: United States film, 1965; dramatized Austrian setting around 1938
