Episode 135: The Sound of Music (1965)

Patrick has done it again…he has brought the musical back into the podcast, this time to celebrate the 60th anniversary of The Sound of Music.

A year after Mary Poppins, Julie Andrews plays Maria, a nun-turned-governess (so, not at all like a nanny) to the seven unruly children of Captain von Trapp (Christopher Plummer). Her warmth, charm and songs soon win the hearts of the children and their father. But when the threat of war rises (Nazis, boooo), Maria is forced to attempt a daring escape with her new family.

Will Patrick find that it is 3rd time lucky when trying to convince the tuneless gang on the merits of the musical genre? Or despite, it being the 60th anniversary will they join Rolfe on the wrong side of history?! Grab your Lederhosen and Dirndl and warm up those pipes, because we’re off to the mountains for a sing-song to find out what all the fuss is about.
