hojo1217 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Some 50 years ago, I remember seeing a movie about the Trapp Family Singers. It was not a musical and it was not "The Sound of Music". Does anyone recall this movie? When it was made? Who directed it? Anything? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 There are two movies in IMDB: First one is Die-Trapp Familie (1956) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049876/ The sequel is Die-Trapp Familie in Amerika (1958) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052313/ Hope that helps Link to post Share on other sites
markfp2 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 The german film *DIE-TRAPP FAMIILIE* was released in the U.S. by 20th Century-Fox under the english title *THE TRAPP FAMILY*. That's pretty much the last time I heard of it. Fox only had the distribution rights for a limited time. Link to post Share on other sites
ChipHeartsMovies Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Musical fan that I am (really, my favorite movie is a Judy Garland MGM musical), I am not a huge fan of *The Sound of Music* . Even with terrific performances and gorgeous cinematography, it is just too long, and the structure of the plot doesn't work for me. That said, PLEASE will TCM program the German Trapp Family movies for TCM International? Who among us wouldn't want to see them? Link to post Share on other sites
Jezebel38 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 It would be great if TCM could show this, but in the mean time...head over to Youtube where the 1956 German original is posted. Link to post Share on other sites
