They used one for the front yard, a different one again for the backyard, and one for the trail to the summerhouse where Liesl and Rolf met.

Answer: whether, weather

The filming of the opening with Julie Andrews on the mountain had to be stopped and started again and again due to bad weather. Robert Wise gives an entertaining account of this time on the audio track of the 40th Anniversary Edition DVD of "The Sound of Music".
3. Did you know that the entrance to the abbey was in Salzburg, but the __________ they hid in near the end of the movie was a Hollywood set?

Is cinema wonderful? The bad guys enter the abbey, looking for the von Trapps, off a street in Salzburg, and when they come to the place the family are hiding, they're on a Hollywood set!
4. Charmian Carr (Liesl) sprained her ankle during the filming of "Sixteen Going on Seventeen". If you look closely at that scene, you may be able to make out a _____________ wrapped round one of her ankles.

Answer: privilege, exhilarating

I came back to this theatre society ten years later and played Fraulein Schweiger in another production of "The Sound of Music". She is the one who keeps bowing the wrong way at the concert.

I will always consider Angela Cartwright the quintessential Brigitta.
10. Finally, I got to play Liesl! I was twenty-five! My __________________ had paid off, I still had a modicum of _____________, and my singing voice was improving all the time.

Answer: perseverance, rhythm
