Ep. 43 - Sound Of Music (1965): The Hills are Alive! Run!

A tuneful, heartwarming story, based on the real-life story of the Von Trapp Family singers, one of the world's best-known concert groups in the era immediately preceding World War II. Julie Andrews plays the role of Maria, the tomboyish postulant at an Austrian abbey who becomes a governess in the home of a widowed naval captain with seven children and brings a new love of life and music into the home.

Noah and Jonesy talk about the whimsical music and the characters that sing them. Why was this Christopher Plummer's most hated role, yet brought him the most success? And how close was Julie Andrews portrayal of Maria to Mary Poppins?
