Just watched The Sound of Music again a few weeks ago. As a kid I just knew the bad guys come and the heroes outsmart them.

These days, I see more and more the acting chops of Christopher Plummer - the bad guys are already here and all that's left is hope and trying to maintain a bubble for your children. From scene one he is a goose on a pond. Serene above the waterline but roiling below.

Ironically did you ever notice that The Sound of Music is actually sympathetic towards fascism under the surface?
