The Hills (and Theaters) are Alive...


In honor of one of the all-time great actresses, who has a new movie, this week we take a look back at the magic that Julie Andrew brought us in "The Sound of Music".

Maria: I can't seem to stop singing wherever I am. And what's worse, I can't seem to stop saying things - anything and everything I think and feel.
Reverend Mother: Some people would call that honesty.
Maria: Oh but it's terrible, Reverend Mother. You know how Sister Bertha always makes me kiss the floor after we've had a disagreement? Well, lately, I've taken to kissing the floor when I see her coming, just to save time!
Baroness Schraeder: Somewhere out there is a lady who I think will never be a nun.

Captain Von Trapp: The first rule of this household is discipline.

Captain Von Trapp: It's the dress. You'll have to put on another one before you meet the children.
Maria: But I don't have another one. When we entered the abbey our worldly clothes were given to the poor.
Captain Von Trapp: What about this one?
Maria: The poor didn't want this one.

Captain von Trapp: You are the twelfth in a long line of governesses who have come here to look after my children since their mother died. I trust you will be an improvement on the last one. She stayed only two hours.

Captain Von Trapp: Oh, there's nothing wrong with the children. Only the governesses.

Frau Schmidt: Von Trapp children don't play. They march.

Captain Von Trapp: Fraulein, is it to be at every meal, or merely at dinnertime, that you intend on leading us all through this rare and wonderful new world of indigestion?

Captain von Trapp: Fraulein Maria, did I say that bedtime is to be strictly enforced in this household?
Maria: Yes, well the children were scared of the thunderstorm and-- You did, sir.
Captain von Trapp: And do you or do you not have trouble following these simple instructions?
Maria: Only during thunderstorms.

Kurt: Only grown-up men are scared of women.

Max Detweiler: He's got to at least pretend to work with these people. You must convince him.
Maria: I can't ask him to be less than he is.

Reverend Mother: Maria, these walls were not meant to shut out problems. You have to face them. You have to live the life you were born to live.
