Itยs easy to think that The Sound of Music is all lovely ยdo-re-miยsย and happy ditties, but the truth is the film deals with one of the darkest times of the 20th century ย the Nazi overthrow of Western Europe. The impending evil makes the innocence of ยMy Favorite Thingsย and ย16 Going on 17ย all the sweeter. 2 p.m. Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 1001 Bissonnet.
