The Hollywood Hills are alive!
I’d fogotten this scene from The Sound of Music (1965). The film came out when I was a kid and it’s been years since I’ve watched it. The Hollywood Bowl on Saturday hosted a 60th anniversary party for costumed fans to watch and sing along with the remastered film. Seems it’s a local tradition.
The event only comes to my East Coast attention via a post on Threads. It is the scene of Captain Georg von Trapp (Christopher Plummer) tearing down and destroying a Nazi flag found hung outside his villa near Salzburg after the Anschluss. The crowd reaction at the Hollywood Bowl event was rather satisfying given recent events. I lost count of how many times I watched it on repeat.

The clip doesn’t bring tears to my eyes like La Marseillaise scene in Casasblanca (1942) does (every time), but it brought a broad smile. Hope it does for you.
