Anyone who thinks "The Sound of Music" is overly sentimental would do well do remember that screenwriter Ernest Lehman gave Ms. Parker the best line in the film. "Why didn't you tell me," she accuses sidekick Richard Haydn, "to bring my harmonica?"

We cats were immersed in Mandela coverage that evening, but the few moments of the "live" version that we caught during the news channels' commercials were unbearable.
