Liesl and Rolfe Dance `Sixteen Going on Seventeen





I wanted to write an article for Dance Arts, and this scene from `The Sound of Music came to mind.  At first, however, I thought it was Maria and Georg who danced it for their love song `Something Good.  But I couldn't find a clip of their scene.  Then, I realized it was Liesl and Rolfe for `Sixteen Going on Seventeen.  A jolly good delight of a number.  Director Robert Wise knew how to work simple props (benches, lights) and film the young couple dancing inside a gazebo on a rainy evening.
