The name of the family was the Von Trapps. The father was a reserve duty Naval officer and was recalled to service in the late thirties, this was the major crisis of the plot, of course this toiok place in Nazi-occupied Austria. there were a good many references to Foreign Culture, Politics and religion, the last two long off-base topics for Broadway, let alone Hollywood. The lead female character was an Ex-Nun, this was alluded to, with( Obviously) Musical talents. (Maria) while styled as a Musical comedy except for some rather Juvenile ( like Hey There- High there Ho There) of Mickey Mouse fame- done with, I would guess stacked stairs or maybe springboards the plot was almost devoid of comedy. I saw it in l962 o 63 and turned me off- I was a kid at the time. also, the Armed Forces and Police are shown in a Negative light- Just Imagine, say Phil Spector and the Ronettes, on tour, pursued by diligent FBI men intent on Phil"s arrest!- amn odd idea, then maybe for draft resistance. But Mr. Spector was too short for regular Army service anyhow! No such plauy would fly, would it?
