For some reason, The Sound of Music popped into my head this week. Maybe it is a sure sign that the holidays are upon us.
Everyone knows the songs, but have you ever carefully listened to the dialogue? The Baroness has best lines. Here's an arch snippet.
Baroness Schrader has Georg (Capt. von Trapp) firmly in her romantic/sexual sites. Things are going her way until the arrival of Maria, cutie nunster governess. Trying to get around the cock, I mean, road block that is Maria, the Baroness sweetly fastens her manicured claws around Georg, self deprecatingly describing herself:
"I am amusing, I suppose. I have the finest couturier in Vienna and a glittering circle of friends. I do give some rather gay parties. But take all that away and you have just wealthy, unattached little me. . . . searching. . . . just like you."
I don't know anything about writers Howard Lindsay or Russell Crouse, but something tells me one of them was gay.

Way to up the gay quotient with this little post. Love the quote by the way and of course I can watch this damn musical nearly every week and never get tired of Julie Andrews.
Bravo,

What about Max as a gay character? I know your argument is that Baroness has the best lines (mostly agreed) and I agree with your guess about the writers, which is why I think they created Max. If he's infatuated with money and influence, why is he her BFF instead of hooking up with her himself?
FIRST of all this film was released in the 60s when lifestyles were different.Our darling JULIE PERFORMED AS A TRANSVESTITE MAN WITH A GAY FRIEND IN VICTOR VICTORIA. I READ SOMEWHER THAT HER HUSBANDR R. BLAKE WAS GAY.
