That IS true. He just didn't like the movie. Too SWEET. Dan Stevens ( *"The Man Who Invented Christmas"* ) said that Christopher (who played Scrooge in the movie) didn't like any mention of The Sound of Music. While I like the movie, I can sort of see Plummer's side of it. The MUSICAL aspect idealized the story and removed the realness, apart from the Nazis. On a different topic, what's with the weird narration? A.I. ? The 'person' pronounces Genuine with a hard G like Gun and would mispronounce the name Maria.

Well this was interesting I truly love this movie ! And Christopher Plummer later in his life confessed to having a crush on Julie Andrews the two of them have been best friends for over 40 years and done many other projects together The Sound Of Music is a wonderful movie a classic for all to enjoy it’s a shame they don’t make movies like this anymore

I just saw a video of Andrews and Plummer- their love and affection totally debunk this story. Plummer said he would not take the film unless Andrews was in it. The love that they had for each other is deeply moving.

Exactly, both had much praise for each other! And look no further than their body language on and off the screen - they adore each other!

I don't care about the behind the scenes. Julie and Plummer were magnificent in their roles and gave us the most beautiful film of all time: The Sound of Music. Chris Plummer was at the height of his elegance, he was a beautiful man who, in my romantic 15 years, was delighted to see. Julie, beautiful, sang wonderfully. Everything about that film was enchanting and unforgettable and that's what's worth remembering.

It’s always been one of my most favorite movies.

So Julie Andrews didn’t complain, didn’t bite back at her coworker, and was willing to forge a friendship with him. she sounds like the bigger person.

@@monichat yes I read that in the article when I looked it up

I was studying in Salzburg with the University of Redlands extension campus (the U. of R. Is in California) during the filming of Sound of Music in 1964. One of our 2 professors from the U of R was a cousin of the director and if any of our group had bought the Salzburg folk dress - dirndle outfit for the gals or lederhosen outfit for the guys - there was a possibility of being an extra. I believe that professors son, Bobby, who was about 12, was the only one who made it. The real Maria, whose 2 books I have, can be seen in the background of the scene when Julie Andrews sings as she walks out from the side of the cathedral after leaving the Nonnberg convent. The Salzburgers did not care for the disruption the filming caused in the city and were not especially taken by the movie after its release. I don’t know how they feel about it now. It is truly a shame the voice-over announcer couldn’t pronounce many of the English words nor the names of places used in the movie correctly. One would think he could at least do a bit of research on ENGLISH WORD pronunciation! It was rather jarring to hear both German AND English words mispronounced! As an aside, I did watch the filming of the end of the Do-re-me sequence as the cast did the hopping up and down the steps in the Mirabell Gardens…over and over. The film is a lively make-believe tale based very loosely on the actual story. I have been fortunate to return to this most beautiful city a number of times in the intervening 60 years. The city and surroundings are gorgeous and I’d be there now if I could be!

I like 'South Pacific' so much more. And, Emile De Becque was such a loving, affectionate father. I think one of the best scenes ever put on film is the scene of him play-directing the children as they sing Dites-Moi on the terrace. And he crouched down to their level as he was doing it. He wasn't trying to be 'above them' - it's pretty rare to see that body language. Princess Diana did it.

This added so-called truth is totally uncalled for. The movie itself was excellent and any added negative remarks are so uncalled for. Those of us who fell in love with The Sound of Music would not choose anything different.

Say what you will, nothing can ever diminish the timeless appeal of this beautiful film, and of the iconic performances by Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews. I can never tire of seeing it:)

Would have never guessed, Plummer being so hmmm arrogant, and judgmental. What a handsome man

I love this movie…over and over again.❤️🎶

One of my favorite movies of all time. I remember having a crush on Christopher Plummer, I mean who wouldn’t. Such an elegant man . I remember when my parents went to Germany in 86 , they brought back some amazing pictures. They were going to try to see NonBerg Abbey , I don’t think they got the chance . Wittkger’s Terrace was one place they did see and were able to see the Abbey from there. ( forgive me if my spelling is off , I’m not used to writing in German ! ) Austria and Germany were on the itinerary, since my uncle was stationed in Germany when he was in the Army . Georg Von Trapp was quite an interesting character, a little complex , but definitely my favorite in the movie.

Check out the video “Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer: A Reminiscence”, which gives a different perspective on their relationship. They talk about their concern that an astringent quality be evident in their onscreen interactions so that the story wasn’t all cloying sweetness. I think that video gives a more accurate picture of what they thought about the movie and each other than is given in this video. See also “The Sound of Music: From Fact to Phenomenon.” It’s a wonderful documentary on the story of the Von Trapp family and on the making of the movie. It also includes Julie Andrews and Robert Wise talking about their concern that the story not be bogged down in sweetness and Christopher Plummer talking about the effort to add depth to the character of Captain Von Trapp, which isn’t much of a role in the Broadway musical that was the inspiration for making the movie. Having watched these two videos, I think that much of the negative things said in this video can be dismissed at the least as mistaken impressions.

Wonderful movie, photography, acting, scenery, precious children. He obviously was jealous of Julie.😅

Jealousy! is not attractive in anybody not even in Christopher Plummer. Nice to know they got to be friends in later life.

I wish to offer a reason why this film was so thoroughly embraced by America at the time of release which was mid 1960s. I was born in 1958 the eldest of 5 kids. My dad, was promoted to navy officer candidate school in 1965. The baby boomer generation was a product of government. Social engineering. Most Americans don't know that the USA. Was at war and in a cold war at the time. The military paid extra stipends to all its personnel for each child. We paid welfair to women to have children. We were preparing for war by encouraging the birthrate. The military bases were full of children. This movie subtly reinforced the virtue of large family headed by distant disciplined father figure. It justified us, in a way it said we are OK being a family with 5 plus kids. This movie was us.

I would imagine Plumer's conflict came from taking on a character that was less dynamic than he was capable of, and his dislike for Andrews came from a typical response a drinker has with congenial people, because they're usually looking for someone to argue with, and the congenial don't take the bate. And for deviations from the real life narrative, movies have to be bottled with in the context of a beginning a middle and an end in a finite period of time. That was not the Von Trapp Family experience.

Plummer adored Julie. This clip twists the truth! I’ve read the interviews they mention, but I don’t think they really read it!

Plummer was a good actor but likely jealous of Andrew’s rising fame and his substance abuse issues didn’t help.As super sweet as this movie was it showed a love of a family facing a future many would not survive. It can be difficult to humanize people in a couple hours and touch hearts for lost families decades ago. The real VonTrapp family struggled for many years entertaining public audiences willingly and unwillingly as a singing group. Financial difficulties raising such a large family made it a necessity to entertain unlessly putting a strain on their personal relationships and burden that fell on Maria after the Father died.💕🙏💕🙏

never heard this before how do we know. what ever. the story the movie was great what a beautiful movie funny the love between Maria and von trapp the children Maria was so funny and verry pure. i loved everything about it. i dont now what is true about this but it seems verry ungrateful. this movie is beautiful.

Met Plummer once. His rude and cynical demeanour makes it very easy to believe his dislike of this unrealistic movie.

This was the best movie ever made, edeging out South Pacific as the 2nd best.

Its an iconic, classic, beautiful, musical! Of course, famous musicals, on screen or on stage, hardly ever go by the exact story. I was born the year it came out, but I first saw it when I was like, four. Loved everything about the film, it brought so much joy to millions, and that's what counts. Another thing, if Christopher Plummer had so much contempt, for the movie and his role, why did he except the part in the first place?! Very cynical. He was very handsome and a good actor, but he sounded a bit unpleasant a man. They say he liked to drink? So...

Excellent video.

Andrews and Plummer became good friends although Plummer could be a difficult person to get along with. In reality, he liked her more than she liked him. They stayed good friends afterwards.

Devastatingly Demystified 😢

It's so sad that such wonderful and classic movies and tv shows can have actors and actresses not getting along behind the scenes and fighting with one another. People would never even know because some are so amazing and such fantastic acting and singing. They are working together to make a wonderful production. Why not get along?😕

The nauseating music with Julie Andrew's overly precise diction gave me no inclination to see this thing. Now your description confirms how right my decision was. The inaccuracy of the story beggars belief due to the changes they made - no wonder they stopped the author going to the premier - they must have wanted to not be confronted with her possible negative reaction.

The whole premise of the movie was the good over evil. The family held their convictions against Hitler. Perhaps Plummer didn’t agree with their choices.

I love the film and shocked he hated it

No where in the movie did it show them going to the US, it only shows them leaving Austria.

Christopher Plummer was obviously a serious actor and clearly looked down on this film partly because his character didn't allow him to show off his full acting skills. Of course if he genuinely disliked playing this role why on earth did he accept it in the first place? I'm afraid this all seems to make him look a bit of a hypocrite. Maybe he either needed the money or perhaps his career needed a boost? Either way considering he had an alcohol problem, the film helped him both financially and career wise.

I dont believe a word of this! He wasnt going to do it unless julie was in it. He loved her. If you watch his real interviews he says the film was great, andrews was great, but for him it was really sentimental, but there was no hate involved.

So, why did he hate her?

As far as I know he likes Julie Andrews, but disliked the children (or disliked working with children). Sadly I think it's obvious.

She didn’t fancy the Baron at first - she was a nun so it’s a case of - - Well she would say that wouldn’t she!

It was very loosely based on Maria von Trapp's book.

I would have loved Doris Day as Maria! It probably would not be too different than Julie's.

I couldn't stand the movie myself, and I still can't, so I sympathize.

You are incorrect- Christopher had a good working and personal relationship over the years with Julie Andrews. The two had a good chemistry in the Sound of Music. The narrator mixes 'Julie' and 'Maria' and 'Plummer' and 'The Captain' interchangeably...sometimes confusing to the listener. The Sound of Music was a masterpiece and the cast got along well and there was no inappropriateness even though this is suggested regarding Liesl in your documentary. The most recent souvenir book of the Sound of Music suggests that despite the hard work, all actors and actresses benefited from the experience and in general from their relationships with other stars in the film.

What happened to the mother of the children ?

The real story is to be seen in Die Familie Trapp with Ruth Leeuwerick 24:07

I like the music from Broadway version of The Sound of Music as well as the movie version. I must say I really like Mary Martin doing the Lonely Goatherd better then Julie Andrews. One of the songs they left out of the movie version was No Way to Stop It. On the other hand I love Julie version of Do Re Mi. I have the movie but I mute it when Something Good comes on as I find that song is just so dreary.

I saw the Play of the sound of Music and Michael Praed was a better Captain Von trap then Christopher Plummer
