The Sound of Music (1965)
The seven mischievous, incorrigible children test her and play a prank upon her, as they have done previously to run off other governesses. When she's not looking, they place a frog in her pocket.

The Sound of Music 50th Anniversary
Oscars 2015: Julie Andrews "Deeply Honored"
by Lady Gaga's 'Sound of Music' Tribute
Lady Gaga's Sound
of Music medley at the 87th Academy Awards was notable for many
reasons -- namely, how stripped-down the whole affair was, with the pop star's
beautiful voice taking center stage instead of the theatrics of her early
career. The cherry on top was when Sound of Music star Julie Andrews came
onstage afterward and embraced Gaga with a wide smile on her face.
It appeared that
Andrews was just as in awe of the performance as the audience was -- and as it
turns out, she was.
Christopher Plummer Skipped the Oscars Because 'It Was
a Tribute to Julie Andrews'
The night wasn't
supposed to be about Captain Von Trapp.
That's why
Christopher Plummer, who played the man of Maria's dreams in The Sound of
Music, skipped the 50th
anniversary tribute to the 1965 Best Picture musical on Oscar night
last Sunday.
"I couldn't
be there for personal reasons, and secondly I didn't want to," Plummer,
85, tells PEOPLE exclusively. "It was really a tribute to Julie. It's her
movie. It's a terrible phrase we have in England but if I had appeared there I
would have looked like a spare prick at a wedding. That's the most perfect
description of how I would have looked."
Plummer did watch
the show, however, and was blown away by Lady Gaga's
rendition of the title song.
"I thought
Lady Gaga sang absolutely wonderfully," said Plummer, who won his first
Oscar in 2012 for Beginners. "She knows how to do two styles. She knows
the old way and she knows the new way and she was so faithful to the style of
the story and the song. Julie looked terrific. I was thrilled it was a tribute
to her and so it should be."
Asked what pop
culture phenom he would have liked to sing on his behalf if the Oscars featured
his movie solo
"Edelweiss" instead, Plummer gets a little tongue-tied.
"I don't know
enough about the rock scene, really," Plummer admits. "I'm an old
jazz fan."
Plummer and
Andrews will participate in this year's TCM Classic Film Festival, which will
run March 26-29 in Hollywood. The festival will kick off with a screening of
The Sound of Music.

'The Sound of Music' (50th ANNIVERSARY)
Christopher Plummer: “There were so many nuns around [The Sound of Music set], I was determined to play Peck’s Bad Boy and be the naughty fellow. Well it needed somebody naughty to keep it away from mawkish sentimentality”.
