Description

TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Robert Wise Productions letterhead, December 16, 1981. Letter to Irwin M. Schuett, in full: "Your letter about The Sound of Music brought back a lot of memories. As producer and director of the film, I was active in work on it for over 18 months. All the exteriors of the film were shot in and around Salzburg, Austria. Of course, we had Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer and all the children there for the filming. They all worked wonderfully together, so we had a very happy troupe during our three months of filming there. We filled the old town of Salzburg with the music of 'Do, Re, Mi' as our playback machines poured out the music for the various pieces of filming we did around the town. All the interiors for the picture were filmed back in Los Angeles at the 20th Century-Fox Studios. That took another three months, so all-in-all we shot on the picture for six months. But it took another six months for the post-production work to be finished. The rest is history." In fine condition, with show-through from a PSA/DNA sticker on the reverse. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from PSA/DNA.
