Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the Baroness Schraeder's number in the ball game she played with the Von Trapp children?

Answer: 6

2. Which of these was NOT one of the ways in which Rolf signed off his telegram to Liesl?

Answer: Truly

3. How many telegrams did Rolf deliver to the Von Trapp family estate?

Answer: 2

There were three that had to be delivered, but one of them was given to Liesl in the Town Square rather than being taken to the house.

4. True or false. Her performance in "The Sound of Music" earned Julie Andrews the lead in the Disney musical "Mary Poppins".

Answer: False

It was actually the other way around. Andrews was immediately thought of to play the lead in "The Sound of Music", but there was doubt about whether she was photogenic enough. Her role in "Mary Poppins" dispelled this concern, and she was immediately cast.

5. The real Maria Von Trapp appears in the film in a cameo walk-on role. During which song is she visible on screen?

Answer: I Have Confidence

In this song, Maria walks under a stone archway just as two Austrian women in worn clothes walk behind her. The elder woman is the real Maria Von Trapp.

6. When Maria returns to the Von Trapp home after running away to the abbey, she is wearing a dress that we have seen in a previous scene on another actor. Who?

Answer: The new postulant

When Maria goes to visit the Mother Abbess, we see a new postulant just leaving her chambers. It is the dress that she is wearing in this scene that we see later in the movie. If you remember, Maria left all the clothes that the Captain had given her material for when she returned to the Abbey.

7. Which Von Trapp child does Maria forget in her prayers?

Answer: Kurt

"Kurt, that's who I forgot. God bless Kurt."

8. Which line follows this quote: "And do you or do you not have trouble following these simple instructions?"

This occurs after Maria and the children have been interrupted singing "My Favourite Things" in Maria's bedroom. Captain von Trapp enters the room and questions Maria's ability to maintain discipline.

9. Which sister at the abbey did Maria so often get in disagreements with that she had taken to kissing the floor whenever she saw her coming?

Answer: Sister Berthe

10. What was the Baroness' first name?

"Would you like another strudel Herr Detweiler?" "How many have I had?" "Two" "Make it an uneven three".

12. The scene in the gazebo between Maria and Captain Von Trapp when the song "Something Good" was sung is shot majorly in silhouette. Why is this?

Answer: Julie Andrews couldn't stop giggling

According to imdb.com, Andrews couldn't get past the strangeness of singing in such close proximity, so to hide some of the laughing, they shot the scene in silhouette.

13. How did Max answer this comment: "Not too sweet; not too sour"? "Just too ______."

Answer: Pink

This is from a funny little scene during which Georg is trying to divert the children's attention from Maria's departure. They are talking about pink lemonade.

Answer: Under her bed

You can see Maria take her carpet bag out from under the bed when she is talking to the Baroness during the party.

15. Which previous governess had a snake put into her pocket by the children?

"You're lucky... with Fraulein Helga it was a snake!"
