This week on Rosie the Reviewer, we’re tackling The Sound of Music (1965), directed by Robert Wise and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. On the surface, it’s a sweeping musical about love, family, and catchy songs you’ve known since childhood. But watch it through a World War II lens and it’s surprisingly sharp.

We revisit the Von Trapps’ romance, the Anschluss, and the film’s portrayal of Austrian opposition to Nazism.
