The Sound of Music’ Returns to Theaters in New 4K Restoration

Angela Cartwright says the reissue may finally hide on-screen bruises visible in earlier prints.

Overview

  • Fathom Entertainment brings a new 4K restoration of The Sound of Music to theaters Friday.
  • Angela Cartwright says earlier versions show her skinned knee and hopes the digital cleanup conceals it in 4K.
  • She recounts a “Do-Re-Mi” bicycle spill after a bump from co-star Debbie Turner during location filming in Salzburg.
  • She describes a rowboat take that capsized the wrong way, with Heather Menzies helping a splashing Kym Karath in the cold lake.
  • She recalls learning Austria’s recent history during production as locals reacted strongly to Nazi-march scenes.
