When the movie was released in Spain after a period of censorship (Franco’s censors did not want a movie where a nun leaves the church), it came out under the more suggestive title of “The Rebel Nun.”

That was silly. The whole reason nuns don’t take final vows for five years is expressly so they can leave if it doesn’t suit them....

The mentally ill leader of the SSPX characterizes this movie in particular as being the beginning of the “triumph of the pornographic culture.”

Here’s a “Did You Know” for Sound of Music fans. Did you know that on the bus ride scene from the abbey to the Von Trapp home, the real Maria Von Trapp is sitting on the bus behind Julie Andrews?

Because of a woman rejecting the Novitiate? On a different note, after the Von Trapps left Austria their home became a headquarters for Himmler. One of the Von Trapp children said in an interview that he shudders about how many death warrants were signed there.

I took my Mom to Salzburg for a Sound of Music tour for her birthday. I've never seen her so happy. We had an Austrian tour guide who had learned his english from an Australian. He spoke with an Australian accent and sang songs with my Mom all day long. It was a beautiful day that I will never forget!
She raised us on the soundtrack to this movie, lol.
To: wideawake
Did he miss the part about it being a true story? I forgot how hilarious that letter is. I personally love his letter on the education of women.
Back to the topic.....I was stunned to learn she was still alive, could have sworn she died a few years back.

She can also be seen (just barely) walking by the fountain. After seeing the finished product she was made about how little visibility she had considering how many times she was made to do take after take.

This is her daughter. The woman Julie Andrews played in the movie died in 1987.
