“The Sound of Music” opening sequence is surely one of the greatest and most memorable beginnings to any movie. It was also one of the most complicated location scenes to shoot. It was shot on a mountain in Bavaria called Mellweg, near Salzburg. The weather was poor for several days, keeping Andrews and the crew on the mountain waiting for a break in the clouds. When the time came to film this scene, Julie is singing “The Sound of Music” with a smile on her face dancing and twirling in the alpine meadow.
