As for Jeanette - well, I always thought we shared a special bond having the last name of Nolan.<br /><br />The darned movie (The Sound of Music) is so long that including Max, Elsa and the Captain's songs wouldn't have hurt it. In fact, I think they would have helped the story.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-38262565129650388292014-06-17T09:35:58.800-07:002014-06-17T09:35:58.800-07:00Ah, Kurt Kasznar and Jeanette Nolan!

As for Kurt, I first saw him in the silly-but-fun Irwin Allen TV series LAND OF THE GIANTS. Then, I realized he sang one of the song on my Broadway cast album of THE SOUND OF MUSIC. I think his song wasn't used in the movie.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/00240396644130014121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-41072403441035880542014-05-30T08:37:07.846-07:002014-05-30T08:37:07.846-07:00I think you'll find much to enjoy in "The...I think you'll find much to enjoy in "The Happy Time".

She will definitely leave you wanting to see more. From her earlier career she shows her comedy chops in "Pride and Prejudice" as well as in the drama "The Valley of Decision". I would also highly recommend the film-noir "Raw Deal" to highlight her versatility.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-5464564354433486022014-05-30T08:34:48.379-07:002014-05-30T08:34:48.379-07:00What a shame you missed out on seeing Richard Flei...What a shame you missed out on seeing Richard Fleischer. If his memoir is any indication, the man would have been a marvelous storyteller.<br /><br />I agree about "The Happy Years". It's well done, but the "heart" didn't every come through.<br /><br />"The Happy Time" marches to its own beat and ultimately lives long and pleasantly in the memory.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-22659721808641875422014-05-30T04:48:43.383-07:002014-05-30T04:48:43.383-07:00Another new one for me.

I remember thinking that the film had a different "feel" about it than what I expected. Actually we acquired The Happy Time by mistake. I was intending on doing a trade for The Happy Years and got the titles mistake. Judging from your review though, it looks like that was a good thing...The Happy Years turned out to be a bit of a dud. On a side note, Richard Fleisher came to Cleveland a year before he died to do a lecture and at the last minute we decided not to attend it....one of my biggest regrets to this day. We'll be giving this film another try soon! The Metzinger Sistershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728879307994086409noreply@blogger.com
