An episode in which Ashley begrudgingly makes her mother happy.

How well did Ashley guess what this movie was about? ...well, she didn't know Julie Andrews was in it.

Show Notes
"The hills are aliiiiiiiiive..." (surprisingly, at the beginning of the movie).

The Sound of Music is a 1965 American musical starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, with Richard Haydn and Eleanor Parker. The film is an adaptation of the 1959 stage musical of the same name, composed by Rodgers & Hammerstein.

Based on the 1949 memoir The Story of the Trapp Family Singers by Maria von Trapp. The film takes place in 1938, and is about a young woman training to be a nun in Salzburg, Austria, who is sent to the villa of a retired widowed naval officer to serve as governess to his seven children. 

While the children were initially rowdy, they grow to care for Maria, and she begins to care for them. After bringing love and music into the lives of the family, she marries the officer and, together with the children, finds a way to survive the loss of their homeland to the Nazis. 

The movie won a sh*t ton of awards, but it's not entirely accurate to what really happened. So, let's talk about it.
