When Maria and the kids accidentally flip their boat, they all come out dripping wet. There’s nothing exciting about it, but it’s THE Sound of Music dress. I have to include it, because it’s the iconic first scene, cover-of-the-DVD-box dress. So here, from 15 all the way up to Number 1, my list of Top Iconic Costumes in The Sound of Music - filmed in the 1960s, set in the 1930s: I should mention that the costumes were designed by Dorothy Jeakins, who also designed Samson and Delilah, Niagara, South Pacific, The Unforgiven, The Children’s Hour, The Music Man, True Grit, The Way We Were, Young Frankenstein, and a whole lot more. Slightly nutty? I don’t have Captain von Trapp sheets, if that makes you feel any better!
I remember thinking it was fine and I liked the songs, until suddenly in my mid-teens I realized, “THIS IS THE MOST ROMANTIC MOVIE IN THE WORLD.” I don’t know if I’m a SoM nut, but I do know that I watched the Andrew Lloyd Webber British TV show to cast his new production ( How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?), and that upon going to London the following year, I went to see the show in the West End (Team Connie, FTW!), and I’ve also seen it on Broadway, and whenever I make it to Austria I WILL be doing the SoM tour. Like I said, my family watched this yearly. This is going to be a highly subjective list, and I welcome your debate in the comments! In honor of the movie my family used to watch every Christmas, let’s look at the top costumes in The Sound of Music!
premiere (it premiered a few weeks earlier, on March 2, in the U.S.). Yesterday, in 1965, The Sound of Music had its U.K.
