Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Do, Re, Mi" is the first song that Maria sings at the Von Trapp Villa.

Answer: True

In the movie they use "I Have Confidence" in front of the house and "My Favorite Things" in Maria's bedroom. This is sung in the hallway of the mansion. Following are the beginning lyrics.
"Let's start at the very beginning,
a very good place to start. When you read you begin with ABC.
When you sing you begin with do re mi.
Do re mi?"

2. "A crazy planet full of crazy people is __________ all across the sky" (verse one)

Answer: somersaulting

This is in the song "No Way To Stop It" and sung by Elsa. Some lyrics are as follows:
"You dear attractive dewy-eyed idealist,
today you have to learn to be a realist.
You may be bent on doing deeds of derring-do,
but up against a shark what can a herring do?
Be wise, compromise,
compromise and be wise,
Let them think you're on their side; be non-committal."

The "it" in the title is the invasion by the Nazi Germans.

3. What is Maria's favorite color?

Answer: pink

This is as Maria is meeting all of the children. Marta says: "My name's Marta and I'll be 7 on Tuesday and I want a pink parasol."
Maria replies: "Pink is my favorite color too."

4. Maria's parents are alive.

Answer: False

Mother Abbess reveals this when Maria goes back to the abbey. The actual line is as follows:
"Maria, the first time we talked together you told me you remembered your Father and Mother before they died. Do you remember, were they happy?"

5. From whom do Maria and Captain Von Trapp ask permission so they can marry?

Answer: The children

6. To whom does the title "Sixteen Going on Seveteen" refer?

Answer: Liesel

Rolf and Liesel sing this highly romantic song together on a rainy night in a gazebo. Some lyrics are as follows:

Your life little girl is an empty page that men will want to write on.
To write on...
You are sixteen, going on seventeen, waiting for life to start..."

7. Whom does Maria describe as a very observant Von Trapp child during the row with the Captain Von Trapp?

Answer: The Lonely Goatherd
