The Sound of Music Crew - Making The Movie A Reality
The Sound of Music crew were the hidden stars behind this phenomenal movie. Everyone contributed, in their own way, to make the film the success that it was.
But how many people know who wrote the screenplay, the name of the costume designer, or who made the puppets for the ‘lonely goatherd’ scene? What about the children’s schooling for all those months that they were filming – who were their teachers for that time? Below is a list of the entire production crew: Robert Wise Saul Chaplin Ernest Lehman Saul Wurtzel Ridgeway Callow Richard Lang Owen McLean Lee Wallace Betty Levin Boris Levan Harry Kemm Maurice Zuberano
