Easter Eggs
Real Maria von Trapp Cameo
The real Maria von Trapp, along with her daughter and granddaughter, can be seen walking in the background of the 'I Have Confidence' scene as Julie Andrews walks through the Salzburg archway.
Impossible Geography
The final shot shows the family hiking over the Untersberg mountain. Geographically, this path leads directly into Germany (the Eagle's Nest), not Switzerland. It is a metaphorical escape rather than a literal geographical one.
