ooooh noooo. I still have a crush on him, dating back to 1965. (Even after learning that he was busy getting Liesl drunk every night after filming.) (She was an adult.)  RIP, Captain. |

Everything I have heard suggests he hated this film, and was a total @$$ on set. He used to call it “The Sound of Mucus.”  I believe he lightened up on it in later years. |

This is such sad news.
I saw him perform at the Stratford (Ontario, Canada) Festival several times. Magnificent actor on stage.

I heard he hated Sound of Music, but I think that scene where he and Maria dance on the terrace is one of the most romantic scenes in any movie.

In 1982, I saw him as Iago opposite James Earl Jones in "Othello."😢Dianne Wiest was Desdemona.It was wonderful.
Rest in Peace.

May he RIP.
I still remember my mom driving along side the school bus and my grandmother frantically waving hers arms to get my attention. They were trying to get me to get off at the next stop so we could make it on time to see the Sound of Music. It’s still one of my favorites.

I met him a few years ago when my son was performing with him in Walton's Henry V here in Toronto. He was lovely and gracious.

Great actor and he had a long career and life. I love the Sound of Music too. I'm sure he complained about Sound of Music all the way to the bank!

I watch The Sound of Music just about every year, and I still swoon over him every time.  |
