Sound of Music church Mondsee Austria

The era of the Hollywood musical was long gone by the time Sound of Music came along in 1965. Armed with a powerful cast in Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, director Robert Wise was able to take the Broadway musical to the screen with tremendous success and made global superstars from its main cast. The image being depicted here is the actual church in Mondsee, Austria from the wedding scene depicted in the movie. As far as Hollywood endings go, The Sound of Music delivers that heartwarming appeal that generations of moviegoers will want to watch over and over again.
