    I happened to see The Sound of Music was on ABC tonight and started rewatching it. It was my Moms favorite movie. She adored that movie and played the songs on a Hammond organ that sat in our living room. The memories of childhood came flooding back to me. Merry Christmas Mom. I miss you.

    It's curious that Wicked, the musical prequel to The Wizard of Oz that portrays the villain of the original film as sympathetic and misunderstood, is an international hit, yet my similarly-themed prequel to The Sound of Music remains unproduced and has led to my lifetime banning from the Friars Club

    Happy 73rd birthday to actress Angela Cartwright. Angela is best known for playing Brigitta von Trapp in the film The Sound of Music (1965) and, of course, Penny Robinson in the 1960s television series Lost in Space (1965-1968). She had been a photographer for the last 30 years. #OnThisDay #botd

    We were watching THE SOUND OF MUSIC this weekend and it is pretty strange (and upsetting) that this movie, never before cool or edgy, now feels politically urgent. Captain von Trapp berating Max for insisting he “doesn’t care about politics” as fascism threatens his country…it hits different.

    Edgelords are always whining about how you can't make comedies today because of woke. Know what might actually be hard to make today? THE SOUND OF MUSIC. How many of the handful of US studios left would be willing to make a movie about how military officers need to desert to defy Nazi commanders?

    THE SOUND OF MUSIC was released 60 years ago this week. An all-time classic and still one of the most beloved movie musicals of all time, its journey from page to stage to screen was filled with twists and turns that rival the winding mountain paths of Salzburg... 1/69

    Saw The Sound of Music with friends. One didn't know the film and was shocked that after the intermission the happy joyful singing movie became about how evil authoritarianism creeps into life by passive voices letting it inside and tries to subsume people and their and identities. Good music too!

    Born 9 Sep 1952, English actress Angela Cartwright. She played 10 year old Brigitta von Trapp in The Sound of Music (1965). It won 5 Academy Awards and eclipsed Gone with the Wind as the biggest-grossing film of all time. She also played Penny Robinson in the series Lost in Space. #AngelaCartwright

    My brother, a notorious musical hater my entire life, watched The Sound of Music with his daughter and he immediately texted me after "How Andrews didn't win an Oscar is beyond me." He then proceeded to rave about the film in such a manner I thought he'd been body-snatched.

    The Sound of Music came out in March 1965, about 20 years after WWII ended. Critics gave it mixed reviews, but by the time I was born (Dec ‘65), it was the number one grossing film at the box office. It stands as a classic for many reasons. Maybe one for #HATM? #untilalessonislearned
