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.”

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.

Agathe von Trapp, the second eldest of the children, and Marie, referred to in this article are the only survivors of the seven siblings in the original Trapp Family Singers.

If Agathe is still alive since the last time I read about her, she is 95. She became a naturalized American citizen in 1948. She settled in Maryland where she helped operate a private kindergarten until she retired.

I think it would be so cool (and perhaps poignant) to say as an adult that your kindergarten teacher was one of the famous and lovely von Trapp children.

“I have confidence in sunshine. I have confidence in rain...” My second all-time favorite film next to Gone With the Wind.
