Line 24:

In the 2013 NBC broadcast of ''[[The Sound of Music Live!]]'', it was once again used as it was in the original 1959 production.

The lively number reappears later in both the original stage version, the film version and the 2013 NBC special broadcast as a deliberately paced and very Austrian-sounding instrumental, the ''[[Ländler]]'', a dance performed by the Captain and Maria. It then serves as the catalyst to a dramatic juncture in the film, as the young apprentice nun[[Novitiate|novice]] Maria realizes that she is in love with the Captain.

The famous [[marionette|marionette puppetry]] sequence in the film was produced and performed by the leading puppeteers of the day, [[Bil Baird]] and Cora Eisenberg.
