The Jewish Poison Pills in the 'Sound of Music'

 


Though not a typical Hollyweird "anti-Nazi" film, the propaganda value of the since-immortalized 1965 musical drama, The Sound of Music, -- starring "A-listers" Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer -- was immense. What made SoM such an effective vehicle for disinformation was the fact that the poison was delivered within the body of a heartwarming, though somewhat cheesy, story of an Austrian-Aryan family -- and greatly sweetened by the beautiful singing of Andrews and the children. As a song which Andrews herself made famous in Mary Poppins goes: "a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down." And indeed, in the case of SoM, that "medicine" was the not-so-subtle "anti-Nazi" contextual message of the film.
