The "originaal" Sound of Music was in 1959, and starred Mary Martin and Theodore Bickel.
What you are referring to was the movie adaptation of the original, done in 1965.
Still, I agree with you that the movie was wonderful. It just wasn't the "original."

HAHA! About 10 seconds after I submitted that post I thought, “Crap, there was probably a version before Julie Andrews’”
You are correct, however. I should have said the 1965 version, LOL.
