| Absolutely agree. That all of Austria, in an instant, capitulated to the power-glamour of the Third Reich still makes no sense to me. But a culture in the midst of group-think is well captured in ‘No Way to Stop It.’ I’ve never seen the show. I thoroughly enjoy the film. But I think ‘No Way to Stop It’ must be very important for the politics of it. In the movie, the Captain seems to fall for Maria because of Andrews’ marvelous radiance, her kindness to the children, and her challenge to his tyrannical child-rearing. But…I always imagined that, in the show, ‘No Way to Stop It’ is the beginning of vonTrapp’s revulsion toward the Baroness. For her laissez-faire attitude toward tyranny. I also am noticing the Clever mirrors/parallels between the tyranny of the father over the children (which Maria defies) and the larger tyranny which vonTrapp defies. |
