"The Sound of Music" (1965) is celebrated as a classic in American cinematic history. For decades, it has significantly influenced American perceptions of Austria. However, despite its immense success, the film has remained relatively unknown in Austria itself, except for the popular "Sound of Music" tour buses that frequently transport tourists around Salzburg, the movie's iconic filming location.
In this video, we hear from Austrians and Americans about how they first discovered the film, its unique relationship with Austria, and more!
