The film "The Sound of Music" tells the story of the Trapp family, who lived in Salzburg, but had to flea from the Nazis to the USA before World War II. When the movie hit cinemas in 1965, it was a blockbuster from the beginning and won five Academy Awards after being nominated in ten categories.

The primary steps in the commercialization of sound cinema were taken in the mid-to-late 1920s. At first, the sound films which included synchronized dialogue, known as "talking pictures", or "talkies", were exclusively shorts. The earliest feature-length movies with recorded sound included only music and effects.
