Just read in the Guardian about the death of the actor Christopher Plummer, aged 91.
Although he started his acting career on stage, and subsequently, played many movie roles (including as a Klingon General in one of the Star Trek movies), - and also won an Oscar in his 80s, - his role as Captain Georg von Trapp in the Sound of Music is one that will be remembered.
That scene where he and Maria danced the Austrian folk dance, the Laendler, together, (and flawlessly), is simply superb, desire and romance expressed exquisitely.
