The film that inspired The Sound of Music was made in 1956, in German. It is surprising how similar the remake is to the original, who knew? The differences were mildly amusing also. The Baroness is the housekeeper, not the girlfriend...she’s the Prinzessin. The eldest child is named Rupert, and the other boy Werner. The gazebo is where the Kapitän works on his model ships. There is no Rolfe, but the butler turns out to have been an illegal party member for three years prior to the invasion of Austria...he’s still a nice guy though, and helps them escape.
Anyway, remember...
Wenn Gott uns eine Tür zuschlägt, dann öffnet er uns ein Fenster.
