That piercing look... I'd get red under such a stare. No, I am not thinking what I am thinking what he can be thinking of....   |

But he doesn't look at all like Captain von Trapp! (Especially the left photo)
Different age? Make-up? Hair? Just more relaxed?

well, age for sure. on the left he was just himself.
I think we often forget how he was made up as the Captain, like the gray highlights. How young he looks in the pictures when he is jut visiting the set! He looks the same age as Maria!
I loved Tranquillity's intentionally addled response. Like, it's hard to think straight around someone like this.

And, I suspect, some alcohol. Enough to get a nun tiddled.

what is it about "tiddled," anyway? It sounds so much naughtier than any American English synonym I can think of. I feel a story coming on . . . .

from dictionary.com: alcohol intoxicated he had a tendency to get a little tiddled.
i am TOTALLY going to try and use that in my daily life. but i'll need new friends. might be worth it.

I have a suspicion Tranquillity was a little tiddled when she wrote 'I am not thinking what I am thinking what he is thinking about...' Right, Tranq ?! (Except we all know exactly what she means)

He is just so delicious.
I don't know Julie kept her hands off him. Weren't they both separated when they filmed this?

In his book, he says something to the effect that he had to keep his distance, she was still in the painful part of her separation and had her toddler daughter with her (not to mention that she was in almost every scene, while he had a lot of down time). And at the time he was still married but the marriage was full of strife.
I have seen her say that "every actress falls a little bit in love with her leading man." And -- I'm not the biggest JA expert in this community -- I think she was way, way too disciplined and serious about her career to allow for distraction by an obvious bad boy.
But I agree, I'd love to have been able to know what was going on in their minds. She's only human after all.

He has been quoted as saying they have a "private" history, and they've remained such dear friends. Certainly makes you wonder!

I believe Eleanor Parker's (?2nd) marriage broke up a year or so after TSOM too, so it must have been a rocky time for all of them.
However, that photo recently posted of Julie and Chris sitting beside one another in the garden (where she is wearing the Laendler dress - I can't find it now) speaks loudly to me as I can't see how they can be touching in the way they do without Something Going On. There are a couple of other photos I have seen which suggest the same thing, and their very chemistry is remarkable; I'm a Believer!

I have a more boring but possibly more credible theory. I think we know that CP responds well to tough love - think about the way he talks about his third wife's no-nonsense insistence that he stop drinking or else . I can see his responding really well to Julie if she were to be similarly affectionate but very, very clear about her expectations that he stop acting up on the set. Whether or not anything happened between them, IDK, but I can believe this might make him permanently just a little bit in love with her. Also - you can watch the Oprah interview for clues - after watching that, I just don't see evidence of this kind of past connection between them. But what do I know?

i bet if you interview any and all of julie andrews co-stars, they will all say they were a little bit in love with her. and probably still are.

Augiesannie, have you seen the clip of them on Rosie O'Donnell's old talk show (the daytime one, when she was nice)? Very sweet. There was also an interview with the two of them just before the broadcast of On Golden Pond (CBS Morning Show, I think).

Yes, those are great examples. I should go back and watch them for any evidence of spark-ness. What do you think?

I think they may have a 'same time, next year' kinda thing for each other. They are very relaxed, open, and quite affectionate with one another---clasping hands, a gentle back rub, those sorts of things. But, who knows? Like Laurel, I think it is sweet that if they have it is still secret.

It's just occurred to me that I may be viewing it from a European perspective, because I find it slightly difficult to see that 2 people can relate to each other quite so familiarly without having Had a Thing together, but maybe that is the Old European Reserve for you (yes, I know she is English, but she's just about naturalised now).
May be you Americans do it differently?! (The relationship, I mean, not The Other Thing).

No, indigo, I actually agree with you. I think something went on---whether there was an actual sexual relationship or simply an emotional affair is up for debate.
