If you like dirndl skirts, nuns and yodelling–and really, who doesn’t?–you probably grew up watching The Sound of Music on TV during that weird limbo between Christmas and New Year’s.
It’s one of those retro holiday traditions whose origins are lost in the mists of time, but which never fails to produce a warm, festive glow.
Based on a true story, the original Rodgers and Hammerstein stage musical focused on a would-be nun named Maria who falls in love with the von Trapp children after being hired as their governess, eventually marries their widowed father and later helps to lead the family out of Nazi-occupied Austria. In the 1965 film version airing tonight, Julie Andrews plays Maria and Canadianborn Christopher Plummer is Captain von Trapp.
