One small hole in my argument (at least I thought it was a hole), was that Hammerstein's mother was a gentile and he was raised in the Episcopal Church; as the librettist, he would have been far more responsible for setting the all-important STORY of the Sound of Music than the overtly Jewish Rodgers, yet he appeared less Jewish. <br /><br />Well, the NPR piece featured an interview with Oscar Hammerstein III, who established two important items. His father was far more than a simple rhymesmith librettist; he revolutionized Broadway musicals by PLACING THE LYRICS WITHIN THE PLAY AS A LITERARY WHOLE. One can see the obvious importance for such a seamless, and crucial, propaganda piece (propaganda, but beautiful in its way) as SOM. <br /><br />Just as relevant was OH III's discussion of the dynastic founder, OH I. His was a classic story of rapid success in vaudeville for an ambitious Jewish immigrant from Germany. He climbed fast and high, high enough to achieve the great status symbol of a Gentile society wife, OH II's mother. <br /><br />Whatever else this means, in the context of Jewish-American history, this makes OH II culturally VERY Jewish, not half-Jewish, whatever rabbinical dictate says about religious status. In the Jewish climb to power in America, the only character more Jewish, in terms of cultural influence, than the successful Jewish male who attains a Gentile society wife, is perhaps the offspring of such a pairing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35605999.post-46001145664321679722010-10-07T17:20:45.759+01:002010-10-07T17:20:45.759+01:00Have you seen the film recently?

The nuns are treated very respectfully by the director. Also, the casting of the children was obviously Aryan. Two of them were chosen precisely because of their German looks. Even the mailman who woos the captain’s eldest daughter (<em>“You are sixteen, I am seventeen”</em> song) had his hair dyed so that he looked pure blonde. But again, what I liked about the film are the traditional family values: what is missing in today’s rotten culture.<br /><br />So can you see my YouTube clip?Checharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07958061355210472570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35605999.post-67060563686798260182010-10-07T06:10:07.133+01:002010-10-07T06:10:07.133+01:00Chechar, to be fair, I had trouble finding out whe...Chechar, to be fair, I had trouble finding out whether Robert Wise was Jewish; Wikipedia is usually reliable on this but didn't specify in his case, and the biographical details Wiki did have; his rural origins, his father's occupation (meatpacker) and his mother's very German (not German Jewish) maiden name; all inclined me to think he was likely of German, not Jewish, origin. However, I had grave doubts when I discovered he both directed and produced SOM. I could imagine SOM having a Gentile director (barely), but never a Gentile producer, still less a Gentile conbining both roles. I therefore googled "Robert Wise Jewish" and did find him on one list of Jewish directors, so that was good enough for me. It is quite possible, however, that that site was mistaken, so if you do decide to take the time to find out more, I'd be interested in the results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35605999.post-34496391591120854832010-10-05T16:45:07.482+01:002010-10-05T16:45:07.482+01:00I’ve been a fan of Richard Wagner since my teens.
...I’ve been a fan of Richard Wagner since my teens.<br /><br />I didn’t know that Robert Wise was a Jew; he sounds like a nice guy in the commented DVD version of the film. But yes: I knew the script was a piece of Hollywood propaganda. The image of the captain tearing down the Nazi flag from his house was the very first item of anti-Nazi propaganda I ever saw in my life, and it made a deep impression in my tender psyche. In my soliloquies I’ve told to myself many times that hadn’t the Jews launched a campaign against Germany in the American press prolific Austrian families would still exist in Salzburg. <br /><br />Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the film after forty-five years of watching it on the big screen. It reminded me the more civilized times of my childhood, and the family scene that I ulpoaded is obviously Aryan. (Can you see it? YouTube says that for copyright infraction my clip “is unavailable in some countries”.) <br /><br />Despite its obvious propaganda, I still love to watch a movie depicting a Germanic family with seven children. Just compare it to today’s suicidal 1,3 childbirth rate among Germanic couples!<br /><br />Of course, if we ever take the West back, including Salzburg, films will be directed and scripted by non-Jews. Yesterday I listened to the audio interview of Merlin Miller saying this sort of things at <em>Occidental Dissent</em>.Checharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07958061355210472570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35605999.post-8617301590982770692010-10-05T07:33:05.434+01:002010-10-05T07:33:05.434+01:00I don't want to be overly pedantic or overly n...I don't want to be overly pedantic or overly negative, but looking nostalgically to the Rodgers and Hammerstein version of Austria, their 'Sound of Music,' is directly analogous to the John Derbyshire nostalgia for Tin Pan Alley Christmas jingles that Kevin MacDonald pointed to as being at least better than the modern Jewish-American need to take the Christmas out of the 'Holiday Season,' but nevertheless representative of an earlier, less ambitious Jewish-American need to take the Christ out of Christmas.<br /><br />Rodgers was Jewish and Hammerstein partly so, Sound of Music was produced and directed by a Jew, Robert Wise, and the screenplay was written by a Jew, Ernest Lehman. Their musical is an obvious propaganda piece (albeit an admittedly enjoyable one at the level of simple entertainment) designed to whitewash the real post-Napoleonic history of Austria, which until 1945 was steadily growing pan-Germanism, culminating in the 1938 Anschluss that, at least insofar as it represented the 120 year-old dream of Prussian-Austrian unification, was welcomed by the vast majority of Austrians.<br /><br />I suppose White Christmas is better than Kwanzaa Tree, oh Kwanzaa Tree, but even for this atheist, give me Adeste Fideles over the work of Tin Pan Jewry any Christmas. And I suppose The Sound of Music is better than The Producers, but give me Tannhauser any time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
