• Movie Goof (crew or equipment visible): In the final scene of the film, the rippling of the grass shows that there is a helicopter hovering above.
• Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): Georg von Trapp was an officer in the Austro-Hungarian Imperial Navy in World War I, commanding ships based from Yugoslavian ports on the Adriatic Sea. In 1918, the Empire was dissolved, leaving Austria a landlocked country to this day--and von Trapp out of a job in the process. "Austrian Navy" sounds like an oxymoron to viewers unaware of the historical context.
• Among kids who auditioned to play one of the Von Trapp children were Kurt Russell, Richard Dreyfuss, Veronica Cartwright, and the four eldest Osmond Brothers (Alan Osmond, Jay Osmond, Merrill Osmond and Wayne Osmond). Dreyfuss couldn't dance.
• Director Robert Wise considered Yul Brynner for the role of Captain Von Trapp.
