The funny thing about Sound of Music is that most Austrians and Germans have never heard of it. It seems to be a uniquely American pre-occupation... That's because the whole story is a Hollywood creation. There was no escape over the Alps. The real family took a train to Italy and a boat to America. Nothing dramatic about it at all.

The real Maria was not sweet and cozy, and the real captain was not strict and demanding. Quite the opposite.

Hollywood got that “Escape Over the Alps” business from the stage play.
