They are most famous for creating a string of immensely popular Broadway musicals in the 1940s and 1950s, during what is considered the golden age of the medium. Five of their shows were outstanding successes: Oklahoma! (their first collaboration); Carousel; South Pacific; The King and I; and The Sound of Music. Among the many accolades they garnered were thirty-four Tony Awards; fifteen Academy Awards; two Pulitzer Prizes; two Grammy Awards; and two Emmy Awards.

The pair wrote nine musicals together and collaborated on a musical film, State Fair. As producers, they also brought Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun to the stage [1], leaving an indelible mark on American musical theater and a legacy of successes that has never been equaled. Their joint efforts continued over a twenty-year period, until Hammerstein's death in 1960.

It really is wonderful filmmaking. The ending is only two shots about a minute long combined, simple in composition, void of dialogue ... but they serve to consummate everything that preceded them, showing us that the characters escaped to safety and will be all right (even Liesl, who is now a woman even though she was a girl in the scene before), and concludes on a passionately uplifting note despite the distressing content of the final act. All this from a brief glimpse of the characters walking along a grassy hill.

@Noelle Dodson They left Austria and moved to Switzerland where they continued to sing as a means of survival. It seemed that they lost their fortune during WW II. They eventually moved to Stowe Vermont and opened up a Ski Resort and Chalet but Maria made a savage mistake although she didn't know it at the time. She gave up the "Rights" to The Book which meant that when it became an Oscar Winning Movie, she nor her family got paid. Same with Grace Metalious (Peyton Place).

To Captain von Trapp, it was more dignified to abandon their homeland and live in poverty than to serve in the Third Reich (Nazi Germany). Imagine if Chinese Communist Party pull an "Anschluss" on the U.S. and recalls all top U.S. military officers to serve in the People's Liberation Army. While most would be willing to take the post (due to monetary payout... bribery is a hallmark of the CCP), you will always have the minority that will not sower their honor by serving the deviant governance and would rather live poor in honor than to live wealthy in shame.

The Sound of Music is a timeless classic! My grandmother took me to see it on my eighth birthday in 1965; the year that it was released.

@cacatr4495

I was 4, I went with my family; I always remembered it, and it was on the consciousness of the entire culture in the US that summer, and Music Departments of schools and universities relied on Do-Re-Mi for much of the next 12 years, to teach their choral students how to sing and to read music. People loved it and still do!

@cacatr4495

3y↑1

@Nicole
It does. Many families (like mine) bought the Sound of Music soundtrack album and the full songbook that came out, and like "Mary Poppins," many people had every song memorized and people and families would sing them together often, whether they were doing dishes or riding in the car. My sibling used Maria's wedding march music for their wedding march, which was played for the walk down the isle, and that was 3 years later (1968). This movie, its story and the music made a huge impact on the American people for many years. It made a huge impact on me at such a very young age; I held it as precious, and remembered it deeply; it was so powerful for me, like an imprint. I remember that evening, I remember that summer night, all because of that movie. We would never forget!

@WDI2008

6y↑302

As depicted in The Sound of Music, the family won first place in the Salzburg Music Festival in 1936, although the songs they sung at the festival were changed for the film. The famous Felsenreitschule concert hall in Salzburg was used as the setting for this scene in the film. Due to the family's success at the festival Maria and Georg began to think of their music as a way of getting them and the family out of Austria.

The film’s biggest deviation from the true story is the way the family's “escape” is portrayed in the film. The family did not secretly escape over the Alps to freedom in Switzerland carrying their suitcases and musical instruments. They actually left Austria by train and their friends and relatives were informed of their decision. Also the von Trapps traveled to Italy not to Switzerland. From Italy they continued on to America. This is where the film story ends.

Yes, beautiful - until they run out of food and water, none of which I see they've brought, in their walk across the Swiss Alps. Neither did they bring any camping gear or tents or sleeping rolls. I'd wager that after a few days sleeping in the freezing cold, three of them died, and another was blinded by frostbite, with the father having to amputate his frostbitten toes and the singing mother needing a tracheotomy from dehydration.

The big mountain in the background at 0:03 is the "Hoher Göll" with the mountain hut "Purtschellerhaus", later on you can see the "Reiter Alpe" in the distance at 0:27, and finally the "Untersberg" at 0:42 which can easly be recognized by the characteristic gap in the middle which is called "Mittagsscharte". All mountains are situated between Berchtesgaden, Germany and Salzburg, Austria. The "Hoher Göll" is also the mountain next to the famous "Eagle's Nest".

Amazing ending to a cinematic masterpiece! This is my favorite part of the film. It inspired me to keep going when I was hiking several miles of steep trail in the Appalachians with a full pack and too-small boots.
In 1976, I visited the gift shop and little cafe at the Von Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, VT, with my parents. Baroness Maria Von Trapp, dressed in the old Austrian Alpine style, showed up. She seemed a bit stern and was bustling about tidying up merchandise on the store shelves. I was a 14-yr-old kid, so I didn't dare say anything to her. I was, however, in awe to be standing a few feet from such a famous lady.

In the last scene you really saw the power of Family. They lost everything, it took a long while to get to Switzerland, but they were all together. Also, I heard that The Real Life Von Trapps ended up singing for their Supper since Georg lost their fortune. They later moved to Stowe Vermont where they built a Ski Chalet that burned in a Fire but they were able to rebuild and as many of you know on The Oprah Winfrey Show Maria & Georg's Great Grandchildren continue the tradition of singing.

They had to leave their money behind in Austria. It was confiscated by the Nazis. That's how they lost their money.

The Sound of Music is the last musical that Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote. Soon after the Broadway show opened in 1959, Hammerstein died. At least he lived to see the Broadway show's success. It's sad that he didn't live to see the movie of 1965 and it's enormous success.

upon watching this scene, it looks so breathtakingly beautiful and peaceful from the top of the Austrian alps that one would never imagine there was ugly and cruel danger awaiting down below particularly on the Austrian side. :(

i always found this scene very moving (with the family being forced to leave their beloved austria) what makes it even sadder is that 2 of the girl children (liesel - CHARMAIN CARR and brigitta HEATHER MENZIES ULRICH) have recently passed away. watching the film now will never been the same

When i was young i didn't quite understand this lovely story but when i grew up and understood. I begin to realise the beauty of this story. Since then sometimes whenever i saw this finale i would say aloud "There it is, Switzerland! They made it (Freedom)"
