Oh, cut it out, DFM. There hadn't been any call for insults.

Don't let it bother you so much. You're supposed to be a viking! ;o)

*smile* OK.

If you read the series of books which inspired the Mary

made the father out to be a "jerk". (Wonderful books, BTW -
far more enjoyable than the movie, IMO - and like the best
of British children's stories, they never "talk down" to the
kids, so one can even enjoy them as an adult.)

Thanks for the info. Nonetheless, it still seemed to fit their agenda,
or they wouldn't have produced the movie.

How do you explain Chitty Chitty Bang Bang then?
Some films with bad daddies, some with nice daddies. You choose to see only
those that fit *your* agenda.

Well, although that's nice, I've personally stopped liking The Sound
of Music very much since learning (as many Austrians will tell you)
that Disney reversed what actually happened to make the father out to

Yebbut "the original stage production" has nothing to do with Disney.
Although since the film doesn't either (it was 20th Century Fox),

That's interesting to know.

it
may just be that you're off your meds. Bad Viking!

So what was the call for that? You want me to quit reading your post?
I was talking civilly, and you pull this crap.

You were doing a very convincing impersonation of a Single Issue
Nutter. I apologise to precisely the extent this impression was
misleading.

Des
doesn't know how much that is, yet

It isn't the first time it's been played in Austria though. A couple of
years ago in Linz it flopped, of course.
