    ABOUT THE SOUND OF MUSIC
    Produced and directed by Robert Wise, and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, with Richard Haydn and Eleanor Parker. The film is an adaptation of the 1959 Broadway musical of the same name, composed by Richard Rodgers with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. The film's screenplay was written by Ernest Lehman, adapted from the stage musical's book by Lindsay and Crouse. Based on the memoir The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp, the film is about a young Austrian woman studying to become a nun in Salzburg in 1938 who is sent to the villa of a retired naval officer and widower to be governess to his seven children. After bringing and teaching love and music into the lives of the family through kindness and patience, she marries the officer and together with the children they find a way to survive the loss of their homeland through courage and faith.
    The film was released on March 2, 1965 in the United States, initially as a limited roadshow theatrical release. Although critical response to the film was widely mixed, the film was a major commercial success, becoming the number one box office movie after four weeks, and the highest-grossing film of 1965. By November 1966, The Sound of Music had become the highest-grossing film of all-time-surpassing Gone with the Wind-and held that distinction for five years. The film was just as popular throughout the world, breaking previous box-office records in twenty-nine countries. Following an initial theatrical release that lasted four and a half years, and two successful re-releases, the film sold 283 million admissions worldwide and earned a total worldwide gross of $286,000,000.
    The Sound of Music received five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. The film also received two Golden Globe Awards, for Best Motion Picture and Best Actress, the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement, and the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Written American Musical. In 1998, the American Film Institute (AFI) listed The Sound of Music as the fifty-fifth greatest American movie of all time, and the fourth greatest movie musical. In 2001, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, finding it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
    ABOUT RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN
    After long and highly distinguished careers with other collaborators, Richard Rodgers (Composer, 1902-1979) and Oscar Hammerstein II (Librettist/Lyricist, 1895-1960) joined forces in 1943 to create the most successful partnership in American musical theater. Prior to joining forces, Rodgers collaborated with lyricist Lorenz Hart on musical comedies that epitomized wit and sophistication (Pal Joey, On Your Toes, Babes In Arms and more), while Hammerstein brought new life to operetta and created the classic Show Boat with Jerome Kern. Oklahoma!, the first Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, introduced an integrated form that became known as “the musical play.” Their shows that followed included Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music. Collectively, the Rodgers & Hammerstein musicals have earned Tony, Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer, and Olivier Awards. The Rodgers & Hammerstein Organization is a Concord Company, www.concord.com.

    This is the most realistic Hollywood portrayal of "chemistry", "romance" and "falling in love". No words. No grand gestures. No wild theatrics. Just simple, silent realizations. Just the pieces falling into their own places on their own, without being forced. Just two people, doing their thing, and they just, literally, *fall* in love.

      And what I said was "chemistry", not horniness. Chemistry is not about one actor being sexually attracted to their acting partner. In Turner & Hooch, Tom Hanks had chemistry with a giant mastiff. In "Easy A", Stanley Tucci has chemistry with salad tongs.
      PS: As for Plummer being gay - he never claimed to be, not even in the memoir he wrote in the 2000s. For what it's worth, he was married 3x, the third time for over 50 years. Yes, he did play a gay man in the movies - that's what we call "good acting".

      It was of a time that we actually touched each other in a non seual manner.
      Music was also much more humane.
      Dancing was seen as a social interaction between m/f.
      M/f danced with each other in a manner that they actually spoke to each other.
      Males led.
      Females followed.
      Defined (bi-gender relationships) existed an the infinity of "genders" did not exist.
      Binary genders existed.
      Gentlemen treated women like ladies.

    And this is what sexual tension feels like folks.
    Watching this scene literally makes me blush. The chemistry and the unspoken emotions between them are so physically palpable it's almost unbearable at times. You are just aching for them to be together. Their shyness, the innocence of the dance, the repression of their own emotions, and their own growing realization of the feelings between them all make this scene the most romantic film scene ever, hands down. I feel like I'm intruding on a private moment watching it.

    It’s so neat how the laendler is an echo of The Lonely Goatherd. Back then it was a children’s song that showed her connection with the children and now it’s a grown up version, underlining that she she belongs with the Captain too. And since we already heard it earlier in the musical (but in a different version), it feels familiar and like coming home, even when you may not immediately recognise that it’s the same music. It’s such a neat trick.

      You can still learn how to dance like this through a "ballroom dance school" or something like that, but it's not a regular thing. Some people also run "ettiquette" classes for children, but it's not a regular thing either. In my Aussie school, we were also taught square dances and a couple of Aussie "bush dances." Strip the Willow is a fun dance, but not really a graceful one.

      I am in an Austrian / Bavarian folk dance group in California, USA. People do still dance like this, but it's harder to find. Actually, it's interesting because this Laendler is not a real folk dance but I still absolutely love it. Many of the movements are fairly true to form, like the großes Fenster figure and the part where she is spinning as he walks. Also the beginning of the sheet music from the film features an Eingang which is the way the men traditionally start the dance. As someone who can dance real Laendlers I respect the choreographers for doing their homework before coming up with this.

    I love how the mood changes throughout the dance. In the beginning, Maria is a bit anxious, maybe thinking, "I really shouldn't be doing this, but I'm going to for the children." Eventually, she starts having fun with it, and relaxes a little. Towards the end, she looks into the Captain's eyes and starts blushing and again starts thinking, "I really shouldn't be doing this." This scene is so perfect and I love it so much, it's definitely one of my favourite parts of the movie.

      And what about the mood of the captain? Just before he starts this scene, when he appears at the door and sees her trying to dance with the child, he smiles maliciously and thinks, "Oh, I really should be doing that." Then, take the child away and with a cynical smile he offers his hand to Maria, thinking, "This is absolutely what I should be doing." Then, while Maria turns around him, he looks down at her legs, thinking, "This is definitely what I want to do."😁

It is wonderful that a film could be made to portray love and attraction without the crudeness we see too often in TV. This scene shows more with showing less and that is art.....don't see anything ever to compare to it. Good film making is not about reality---truthfully if one wants reality go to the morgue. It's about fantasy in a realistic believable way that is effective and real to enjoy.

Camera angles, noises, and acting make you as nervous as any CGI monster or ghost would. You never see or truly understand why anything like this should happen and that will always be far more scary! If you haven't seen it, do! A masterpiece, of acting, of directing, lighting, everything!

    You wouldn't think of finding a "manly" man in a musical. You usually think of "manly" men as the Stallones or the Schwarzeneggers killing and shooting their way through. But Captain Von Trapp encapsulates everything a true man should be. Strong, courageous, noble, prideful, selfless, passionate, loving, gentle, firm...he has it all. If you want a good example of what real men are like, look no further than captain Von Trapp in the Sound of Music.

      Did you know that the real Captain von Trapp was a "manly man" too? He was Austria's biggest war hero in World War I, a submariner when you practically had to have a death wish to get into one of those metal death traps. He was admired as a warrior all over the western world because his sub scored the most "kills" of any sub from any country. That's why the Nazis pressured him so hard to sign up with them--his enormous prestige and patriotism would have added immensely to their credibility.

    And you don't even *think* at first of what an excellent, stunning, remarkable job the actors are doing of *acting*. You just think of how the characters are *feeling*. And it seems as if it *isn't* even acting. That's how you can tell what splendid acting it really *is*.
    They did good. *Really* good.
    Not just the camera *on* their faces, either.
    Their own faces did more than half of the work. Maybe *most* of the work.

    People say Titanic or The Notebook are the "greatest love stories of all time," but *this* is the true greatest love story of all time. No extravagant events. No wild misadventures to capture the 'chemistry' between the couple. No poor meets rich. It's just simple and an intimate moment between two equals that are just coming to a silent realization naturally. Something that's not too hard to do, but Hollywood feels like it won't make for a good love story. You don't have to force the love story to make the plot move along. Just let it develop for itself and let the chemistry speak for itself and you'll end up with results like this.

    Maria starts dancing with Kurt as a governess, she teaches him practically. With the Captain she cannot hide behind the masque of the teacher, she is not anymore a trainee nun, and I think she gets confused, what is her role NOW ? what is she doing there dancing with her employer, the distinguished naval officer dressed in his formal suit and father of the children she takes care of? She is definitely in awe of him! All her life she has learned to respect and revere and offer. She looks at him solemnly, shyly, she does not know how to behave, he surely honours her by offering his hand to dance with her. She surely admires him but now the roles are completely different. He is a man and she is a woman, should she look around or at him but she cannot look at him as she feels weirdly. She tries decently to act her role in the dance BUT the emotions start to blow her heart and mind as the dance changes style from distant and theatrical to a growing attachment, proximity and intimacy. The distance between them as they dance in the beginning favours her in her effort to hide her confusion but in the middle of the dance it gets more and more difficult for her. The Captain, the employer, the father is such A MAN, she looks at her sooo calmly, peacefully, decently. He is focused on her as a true dance partner should be. When the dance changes style from thetrical to intimate and face-to-face and eyes-to-eyes, at first the Captain offers her his hand, she grasps it understanding the following growing closeness and feeling bewildered, whereas he smiles slightly, yes he is building a sentimental interaction and he is succeeding, she responds. At the final scene of the dance, because of the intimate eye contact, the closeness of the bodies, the moonlight, her mind just blows off! and gets red, she now gets the hint that he clicks her sexually, as a man. She is in love with him. Now she feels wonder, what is going on? she needs time to realize her emotions. And get paralyzed, she cannot dance anymore, She covers her cheeks when Brigitta tells her that she is red, she apologizes that she is not accustomed to dancing, again she tries to cover things up and hide. He looks at her in wonder, why did she stop, did he make some mistake? he tries to understand...and when she says that she is not used to dancing, then he finally understands, she has fallen for him!!
    For me, it is the most romantic dance scene ever filmed!!

His wife had a large flower, veggie garden and she's showing it off to a guest. Mind blowing. I can't remember now, but I think it was Patton who when they freed the camp was so angry he made the towns people clean it up. As to Rolf, he wasn't based on a real person, and they did not escape over the mountains. Years ago I saw an interview of Maria, and she sang in it, lovely voice. She said she fell in love with the children first, the capt not so much. But they escaped on a train and then a boat to America. They applied to go as good will ambassadors of the nazis, and stayed in America and built a lodge in New England, but to earn money the kids were forced to work singing. As adults they were bitter because they toured so much. That's what I recall, but you should maybe wiki it to check those facts. There will never be another movie like it. When my son was a baby, I'd sing the most romantic scene from any movie, them in the gazebo singing, I must have done something good. He talked really early, and I'd hold him for prebed bottle, he'd take the bottle out of his mouth and say, no sing, mommie, no sing. He's 33 now.

    As achingly charming as the blossoming Romance is between Maria and the Captain, my heart truly breaks for the Baroness. I believe she loved the Captain in her own way, but it was not the kind that passionately stirred the Captain's longing to an awakening he never knew. There is a bittersweet melancholy attached to the unrequited coupling that never came to be. Even so, I adore the Baroness all the same. Maria captured the Captain's heart because he eventually came to see a woman of steely strength with an undisclosed coating of sweet and virtuous delicateness, beneath the outward display of sharp tongued fierceness. Oh, how I cherish this most beloved movie, let me count the ways...

Maria's appeal in many ways laid in the simple way she lived her life, and it was that untouched grace that I think drew the Captain to her. However, I hold a special candle for the Baroness as well. Her sophistication and refined elegance brought a special element all its own to the characters' story lines. There is a very telling scene in the film when the Baroness and Captain admit to each other that beyond appearances, names and titles, they both long to find love. They are searching for something beyond the temporal and detached buzz of social activity. He calls the Baroness his "Savior" at one point, and I believe he means it whole heartedly. She brings beauty back into his life and He eventually comes to see it in the form of a Maria, because of her.

      You sum it all up pretty well ... it does take a person (of either gender) of immense character to realise, no matter how much they want someone to be theirs that they should step back and let someone else rightfully take their place because it was more meant to be - as the baroness did ... I love the way the look on the captain's face at 1:33/1:34 changes from astonishment at that point, to a rather smug smirk at 1:42. This is my mothers favourite movie, and i'm more than happy to watch it once a year if it comes on tv ...
      You also have to admire the captain for the way he was uncompromising in his non-acceptance of the nazi takeover of his beloved country ... but also for his intelligence in the way he balanced this non compromising of his own personal values with not endangering his family. I was stunned last year to learn it was actually a true story when I was driving in my car and the news came on the radio that '... the last of the von trap family singers had died (in new York it think?)...'

      The Captain sired all those children, by themselves, each an act of passion. So the Captain was well-versed in the passion department.

      The Baroness never would have made it over the Alps and would have been miserable in the States. Maria won his heart because she was of HIS Austria which was slipping away under Nazi rule even as the Baroness was angling to become the mistress of the soon-to-be-seized assets of the Captain.

    I love this dance. It is beautiful when you see the whole part of it on the dance floor. Not allot of cultures have this kind of specific dance skill.😊
