I think you nailed it!
Uh, you hit the nail on the head. Not that you would want to nail it, even with a three wood.
I suspect she is now 66 years old, which inserts the never known romance factor in her ugly world view.

ROTFL!
Still never seen Ben Hur. But I read the book (an abridged version). Written by a Union Civil war officer. One of the most popular novels ever written.
Probably gay, also -- & PC. If the film were about a transgendered albino, she'd be praising it to the heavens.
I took the tour too. Don’t know if we went on the same one since there were two competing tours when I was there. The one I went on advertised itself as the same bus company that Maria takes in the movie. Our tour guide said the opening shot field and the abbey are so far apart in reality that no wonder Maria was late and exhausted running between the two.
It was clear that the Baroness was a conniving gold-digger that would have had all of the children sent to boarding schools the moment the last "I do" was said. It is also clear the authoress is a cold cynical gorgon that personally identifies with the base existence of the self-loathing Modern Liberal.
That is funny, I have been out with my three brothers together a few times through the years when one of us would break into song and the others joining in until the ugly looks from strangers put a damper on the fun. I highly recommend it. The youngest is 55 now so it hasn't happened recently.

Thank you!
Marie Osmond has also done “The Sound of Music”. I haven’t seen the entire show but what I’ve seen in clips on Youtube and from the Osmonds themselves proves she’s more than capable of handling the role of Maria. Her singing is fantastic. And she doesn’t scrub up too bad.
How about if they sing throughout?
The film version of TSOM is *very* different from the stage version.
Well, I wouldn't give you a dirty look; if you want to sing in public and have fun, more power to you. But when it happens in movies, it takes me out of the story.
No....please, no
I went with my wife and teenage kids to see the Johnny Depp movie years ago with him playing the barber above the meat pie store (killing the people for the meat). Of course now I can’t remember the famous name of the story!
Anyway. He breaks out singing right off and I turn to my wife: “It’s a MUSICAL!!??” She looked at me like I had two heads. “What did you think!? (idiot)”
It was pretty good though.
So no Opera then eh?
It’s Sweeney Todd. Stephen Sondheim musical. The 1979 stage version is a masterpiece.
No; I’m not an opera fan.
Of course - thanks!
