I've never watched the whole thing all the way through. I have a low threshold for tolerating the maudlin and SOM is uber-maudlin. Christopher Plummer, who I met briefly many years ago, used to famously refer to it as "The Sound of Mucus" because he disliked it, and especially his role in it, so much. In recent years, though, he seems to have changed his mind and is more charitable in his assessment.
Dave _____ From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Susan Heim Sent: July-22-17 9:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] Mopo/f/s SOUND of MUSIC -1969-folded-1-sheet I grew up in southern California, about a block from the old 20th Century Fox lot before it fully moved to Century City. There was a wooden fence all around the lot and it was plastered with the Sound of Music one sheets, literally hundreds of them. When the movie came to the theater, I remember whole families getting dressed up in their Sunday best and going to see the movie. It was an event back in the day. A movie where you were given a program and it had an intermission, just like a stage play. That's all anyone talked about at school for months. When I did finally get to see it, it was a beautifully shot film and, of course for me being a big musicals fan, the music was wonderful. Everyone loved Julie Andrews. I knew she was Mary Poppins, but no resemblance to my young eyes. I did love the movie, but I also loved Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, so go figure!! It seemed like it was in the movie theater for a good 2 years solid and, for the time, was the largest grossing picture of all time passing Gone with the Wind, I believe, and then came Star Wars....I just remember all the news was that it saved 20th Century Fox after the huge losses from Cleopatra.
