Sound of Music - The Ländler dance as performed by Maria and the Captain during the party is only loosely based on the traditional Austrian dance of the same name. The song lists of the stage play and film are slightly different, thanks to the screenwriting of Ernest Lehman. In the musical, 'My Favorite Things' is sung at the convent, whereas in the movie it is sung to the children in the von Trapp house. 'No Way to Stop it' was dropped for the film, and 'How Can Love Survive?' (deemed to not fit the flow of the movie) was reduced to being only one of the several waltz numbers played at the party. The title song's four-line prelude ('My day in the hills has come to an end, I know...'), sung by Mary Martin in the stage play, is also reduced to an instrumental hint during the overture and dramatic opening shot of Julie Andrews.
