Trivia and Secrets of The Sound of Music Movie with Claudine
Show Notes

Who doesn't love The Sound of Music movie? Lead star Christopher Plummer who plays Captain Von Trapp for one!  Christopher Plummer was interviewed and said the movie was "too saccharine" for his taste.  In later years,  I understand Plummer came to appreciate the movie and its place in his career.

Years ago my family bought me the anniversary edition of The Sound of Music with special features including actor interviews and footage from behind the scenes as the movie was made.   I share many trivia fun facts so you can potentially wow your guests this holiday season with fun trivia knowledge on The Sound of Music.  For example, did you know:

** The real Maria Von Trapp makes an appearance in the movie?
** Christopher Plummer was originally not a fan of the movie? (It grew on him)
** Oscar Hammerstein, the lyricist of the award winning duo,  Rodgers and Hammerstein, was inspired to write The Sound of Music & Oklahoma while looking out the kitchen window of his farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania located around the corner from my house.
** Julie Andrews hits the top of her head 9 times in the movie - a signature move
** Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer have admitted in interviews that they shared a crush - it shows!

I also add a year end note of thanks to Stories and Strategies Podcast listeners as well as a preview for next years first podcast episode, Stefanie Gass of the Stefanie Gass podcast who shares 4 questions to help you decide whether you should start podcast. As I listened to Stefanie, it occurred to me that the questions are applicable to any business change decision that might be before you...I would love to know what you think.  Happy Holidays and i look forward to more interviews to share with you next year!
