I take it that it was a late night double feature?

I think it was a bolt-on

It was in the mid 80s in Aberystwyth - they did double features, late nights ... not so much. They probably wanted Life of Brian on the programme, but it was still banned, and would be for years to come!!

Coming back to a previous post about people bursting into song being artificial - I can kind of see their point. Some films notably "Cabaret" get around this by setting nearly all the songs within a theatrical setting. The funny thing for me is however, that the most effective and affecting song in Cabaret was the one song set outside the Kit Kat Club, that song being "Tomorrow Belongs to Me". It still makes me shudder to think of that scene.

It's a brilliant piece of songwriting as it 'feels' like it could be original. Kander and Ebbs are hugely underestimated imffho.

Well it's the web site of the BFI. It was always going to be film musicals. I've seen 11 including the Wicker Man which is really not a musical IMO.

I thought the inclusion of 'The Wicker Man' was bizarre. I saw it many years ago, and don't remember any songs, though there was apparently one sung by kids round a Maypole. They might as well have included 'Reds', for the Russian workers singing the 'Internationale'.

I would just like to confess, at the risk of being vilified, that I cannot stand 'The Sound of Music', though it is easily avoided.

You missed the Britt Ekland song?

I've never seen 'The Sound of Music' - the film. The nearest I've got is watching a school production of the musical a couple of years ago.

It has great music - a soundtrack CD was available.

I suspect it still is:

But just because a film soundtrack is available doesn't mean the film was a musical - most films release their soundtracks - most aren't musicals.
