ALLUSIONS (1)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- When Nanny Mueller dresses the kids in sailor uniforms, Fran mockingly compares them to the Von Trapp kids. This is a reference to the 1965 film The Sound of Music in which Captain Von Trapp has made his Austrian home overly restrictive with harshly enforced discipline. This causes his seven children to be underfed when it comes to joy and love.
