Chris Plummer as Georg

Chris Plummer played a bit more abrupt of a character than the “real” Georg. The von Trapp family even appears to have taken issue with the cold way that Plummer impersonated the von Trapp patriarch. His acting had the marvelous effect of becoming the dark cloud that was the background against which Maria (played by Julie Andrews) shined.

Many times, the actors who play lovers or partners, can’t stand to be around each other or look at each other. This was just the case when it came to Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews.
