So, who is the cute one that sings about the sun going to bed?

I'm a big fan of Sound of Music. The part where Captain Von Trapp talks down young Ralph while they are hiding in the church is pure cinema magic. Not to mention the whimsy of "How do you solve a problem like Maria ..."

Yes, the song many Americans believe is the Austrian national anthem was, in fact, written by two Americans for the stage fifty years ago or so. When the BYU group started singing the song to the Austrians, an old member sitting next to me muttered the German equivalent of "Oh crap, not this again."

Another Sound of Music trivia bit: While Maria and the kids are singing Do Re Mi on a hilltop, off in the distance you can see a castle situated on a lower hilltop. That castle was the site of "Where Eagles Dare", another cool WWII movie from the '60s, as well as the home of the Prince in "Slipper and the Rose."

Now this is a guy with discriminating tastes, setting him apart from a simple-minded primate.

Where Eagles Dare was my favorite as a child. I can't vouch for it now. Richard Burton and a relatively unknown Clint Eastwood in a supporting role. Gripping scenes atop the gondolas, and the castle was very cool.

The Sound of Music, South Pacific, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The One and Only Genuine Original Family Band...all movies I was forced to watch as a child. Time robbed from me that I'll never get back.
