Merry Christmas Everyone!
Looks like tonight ABC is airing The Sound Of Music with Julie Andrews. Its a wonderful movie.
There is this one little bit of trivia I learned in film class about it. I think you might get a chuckle. In the very opening scene there is this sweep from afar to Julie singing on the mountaintop. Now you may never have noticed it, but there is an abrupt little cut from zoom to the next shot. What happened is that to do the zoom, they had to have a helicopter fly toward than over Julie Andrews. But the pilot came down too low!!!! Julia Andrews dives down cussing her head off, which had to be cut out! This left an rather abrupt cut from a moving shot to the next medium shot on her.
Its not too bad. But it is alot rougher than hollywood usually allows. But I doubt Andrews wanted to do the shot again.
:D
