I didn’t think the movie was all that great but the music was pretty darned good.
Our high school class (class of 65) chose “Climb Every Mountain” as our class song. I still think it was a pretty good choice.
NBC? I figured “Climb ev’ry mountain” would be “Tax ev’ry producer”.
The whole von Trapp family stayed at my school [Marymount Girls School] when they had to leave Austria, Yes, it was before my time [1940s?] but I always remembered it when I took classes in the part where they stayed.
One of my classmates wrote our class song. But it sounded exactly like the theme song of a popular cartoon (I can’t remember anymore which one). And everyone on the stage knew it - except the poor girl who was so thrilled to have her creation sung at graduation. I hope no one told her.
