Movie Reviews of THE VON TRAPP FAMILY: HARMONY AND DISCORD
Movie Review: The Real Van Trapp Family
Summary: 5 Stars
After seeing "the Sound of Music" many times and enjoying it each time - I was fortunate to come across this video about the story of the REAL VAN TRAPP FAMILY. I teach German in High school and have shared the story about this remarkable family many times and now I will be able to show my students this wonderful film. They will be able to make comparisons with the real story vs. the Hollywood version. It connects and is right on with the unit I teach on heritage and immigration. I can only recommend it highly. A few years ago I met Werner Van Trapp, during an Art show in a Mall in Northern California, he was selling recordings and tapes of some of their music and his "Ave Maria" - would send chills up and down my spine. The CD's, the books and this DVD are all great investments you can enjoy for a long time over and over again.

Summary of THE VON TRAPP FAMILY: HARMONY AND DISCORD
The Sound of Music is one of the most spectacularly successful films of all time. But the story the world fell in love with is not the same as what really happened to the Von Trapps. BIOGRAPHY? travels to Vermont, where many of the Von Trapps now live, to tell their true story. Family members, including the governess-turned-matriarch Maria, reveal how they escaped the Nazis not by climbing any mountain but by hopping a train. Rare footage shows the Von Trapp singers performing in America, where Maria kept them on the road eight months out of the years until the strain started to fray at the family. Learn the tragic story of Maria's eldest daughter and find out why the family never profited from the enormous popularity of the film based on their lives. THE VON TRAPP FAMILY separates fact from fiction to tell the often-surprising truth behind the story everyone knows.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.
