I saw The Sound of Music last night for the first time in decades, and I loved it even more than I did as a child. It is pure Bollywood! Oh, and it's the only Hollywood movie (alongside Titanic) that ever managed to break into the Indian box offices.

Now here's the really interesting thing: t'son (age 7) sagely observed, 'Hey, the daddy looks like Draco Malfoy!'






Captain von Malfoy:

*falls over, repeatedly*

BUT! Draco would never, ever wear that plaid tie. Shame on you, Von Trapp.

He would, however, wear the supercilious expression. (Not my Draco, I hasten to add, but some other, Tom-Feltonish Draco.) And he might have been hexed into the plaid tie. Or not know Muggle conventions.

Also, hey: don't diss the plaid,man!

The tie looks hexed. :) And he *would* wear that crisp jacket, mmm.

I hasten to add: I am entirely in the command of t'son in this matter. *g*

Captain von Trapp was one of my earliest movie crushes! OMG TEH HAWT. Except, see, I've always thought Christoper Plummer was Jason Isaacs' secret daddy. This Tom Felton business, though... hmmm.

Jason Isaacs: Draco Malfoy and Millicent Bulstrode's secret love child!!!

I knew it.

I know all the words to all the songs, and attended a Sing-Along-a Sound of Music years ago in Oxford, with an equally word-perfect (though rather plummier) crowd featuring an entire netball team dressed as edelweiss, several families dressed entirely in curtain fabric, and others dressed as brown paper packages tied up with string - all this in addition to the more predictable nuns and Nazis. (Though I was frightened by the apaprently blameless burghers of Oxford being able to produce uncannily accurate SS costumes at the drop of a hat.) Several nuns and I led a cheering faction in favour of the Baroness, whom we thought unjustly maligned. (Just 'cos she couldn't play ball and had fabulously toned upper arms.)

I quite agree re Draco von Trapp - something in the imperious upper lip...? Incidentally, 'Forever Liesl', a barking mad memoir by Charmian Carr, the actress who played her, is quite funny on the distinctly bad boy propensities of Christopher Plummer off set.

Charmian Carr, the nobody-ever-heard-of-her-since 'actress' wrote a memoir???

Oh, and that Oxford singalong! I want to go!! Paper packages tied up with string... *would fall over but is too jetlagged*

I think it still runs regularly in the West End, maybe at the Prince Charles, having become a Big Gay Night Out, so get your brown paper and string out, practice your yodelling, and head for Lunnon.

Forever Liesel is priceless on the filming - Christopher Plummer refused to carry the child who played Gretel in the final scene where they escape over the mountains, because she'd eaten so many Austrian pastries he claimed she was built like a tank, and a lighter body double had to be substituted - but nothing else ever happened to Charmian Carr, apart from becoming an interior designer.
