March 2, 1965
The movie version of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical The Sound of Music, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, had its world premiere at New York’s Rivoli Theater on this date.

When Maria is running through the courtyard to the Von Trapp house in I Have Confidence, she trips. This was an accident. However, director Robert Wise liked this so much that he kept it in the movie. He felt it added to the nervousness of the song and of the character.
