Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The nuns:

  • Maria riling Georg up enough to call her Captain.

Awesome Music

  • Captain von Trapp's defiant rendition of "Edelweiss" in the face of Nazis who probably wouldn't have been too pleased that the Austrians were being reminded that they weren't technically Austria anymore (and woudn't be for almost 10 years). His choking up midsong and Maria's taking over to lead him into a duet may also qualify as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming as well.
    • Furthermore, one of the Nazi commandants is shown singing too, revealing that he cares more for Austria than the Reich.
  • The family singing "So Long, Farewell, auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye" as they literally vanish under the noses of the Nazis sent to take the Captain to Bremerhaven qualifies.
  • Climb Every Mountain is generally considered this for the Abbess, and can also qualify as a Tear Jerker.
  • Doe: a deer, a female deer...
