They are most famous for creating a string of immensely popular Broadway musicals in the 1940s and 1950s, during what is considered the golden age of the medium. Five of their shows were outstanding successes: Oklahoma! (their first collaboration); Carousel; South Pacific; The King and I; and The Sound of Music. Among the many accolades they garnered were thirty-four Tony Awards; fifteen Academy Awards; two Pulitzer Prizes; two Grammy Awards; and two Emmy Awards.

The pair wrote nine musicals together and collaborated on a musical film, State Fair. As producers, they also brought Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun to the stage [1], leaving an indelible mark on American musical theater and a legacy of successes that has never been equaled. Their joint efforts continued over a twenty-year period, until Hammerstein's death in 1960.

@@cerebrummaximus3762 @lessismore8533
Specifically he's talking about how he's "older and wiser" than she is, but at this age range, it's less about age in a sense and more about lived experiences. I have a couple of friends that are two years older than me (I'm 18 now) and one of them is about in the same stage of life that I am, except she bought her first car. She basically has little to no clue what she's doing, so I don't usually ask her for advice regarding life. The other one is married with her own apartment. I usually ask HER when I need help with how credit cards work, or ideas for how to pay for college, or realistic estimates on how much rent is on average, or anything like that.
16-18 is a range where a lot happens in a short amount of time. Most people, when they turn 16, are juniors or sophomores in high school. They're kind of just trying to get through life, probably started their first job already if they hadn't two years ago, and are learning to drive. This is also the time that a lot of kids open up their first debit card so they can make purchases online without parental consent.
17 is kind of like 16 except your parents usually let you do more things by yourself.
18 is where you usually start to look for your first full-time job, decide what you want to do for higher education, open your first credit card, and basically start preparing yourself to be on your own.
We have proof that Liesel lives with her dad, is probably still going to school, and is VERY wealthy. Making her almost entirely ignorant to how finances work, (although she may not need this information due to the fact that women usually stayed at home to raise children during this time and never needed to work), she's probably not super aware of the rest of the world because she's upper-class, and because somewhat controlling/red-flaggy boyfriend here is a postal boy, she's probably not thinking about the fact that a lot of his interest in her could be related to money.
What we know about him is he does have a full-time job. We don't know if he lives on his own, but there's a 50/50 chance he might. If this is the case, he may genuinely be a little more experienced and aware of the world than she is, but we don't know for sure. He might be someone who could offer Liesel decent advice on life, however, in this time period he may not have been able to afford higher education due to it majorly being considered an upper-crust luxury, so we actually don't know if he ever graduated or will graduate high school. (He could have a summer birthday.) That being said, assuming that Liesel has received higher education of the time, he would have the street smarts, but likely she's way more aware of what's happening outside of Austria and the war, which would make her much more equipped to run from it. So, there's potential for this dynamic being mutually beneficial, but honestly with the way he's talking there are a lot of... potential red flags. Ya know, "you don't know what you're doing but I can save you!" The fact that Liesel doesn't notice how potentially alarming these statements could be is also a case for how inexperienced she is. He's kind of putting words into her mouth, even though Liesel seems perfectly confident in this song. Notice how she mostly goes along with it to please him? Also just the line, "you need someone older and wiser telling you what to do."

However, this is making a lot of assumptions.
Honestly a lot of that comment was me looking at my behavior as someone of that age. I knew that I wasn't prepared to enter adulthood yet-- heck, I'm still not-- and that the future was zooming toward me like a train.
This song is kind of saying they both feel like they know everything, which is common in this age range, while it's clear they haven't had as much lived experience to live up to that statement.
I hope that my argument makes sense....

Your life little girl is an empty page
that men will want to write on

運命がスポットライトを照らしてくれるのを待っている
お嬢さん、きみの人生はまだ白紙の状態
今に男たちがその上に書き込みしたくてやってくるよ

You are sixteen going on seventeen
Baby, It’s time to think
Better beware
Be canny and careful
Baby, you’re on the brink

きみは16、もうすぐ17
お嬢さん、そろそろ考えな
お利口さんになって
気をつけることだ
お嬢さん、お年頃なんだから

You are sixteen going on seventeen
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and rogues and cats
Will offer you food and wine

きみは16、もうすぐ17
男たちが列をなしてくるよ
必死な若者、ゴロツキ、ゲス野郎ども
ご馳走とワインを差し出してくる

Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your kin

きみはまったく無防備で
男たちの世界に飛び込んで
臆病で内気で怯えるばかり
きみの理解を超えてるよ

You need someone older and wiser telling you what to do

And willingly I believe

わたしはそれを信じたくなるの

I am sixteen going on seventeen
Innocent as a rose
Bachelor dandy’s, drinkers of brandy’s
What do I know of those?

おしゃれな独身男性、ブランデー片手の酔っぱらい
そんな人たちのことなんて何ひとつ知りはしない

Timid and shy and scared am I
Of things beyond my kin

The whole scene is portrayed as a beautifully innocent moment in time for two teenagers falling in love. She is smitten, as is he, and the song is a tribute to youthful naivete that everyone eventually grows out of at some point. Adults would scoff at the notion that "seventeen-going-on-eighteen" is any wiser than "sixteen-going-on-seventeen," just as they might scoff at the purity of young love like this.

I think that the notion that seventeen is so much wiser than sixteen is silly is kinda the point of the movie. He talks down to her in the song, and later betrays her. I don't see how you get just purity from this song

@moxxiemaximus

@@alexschalk5439 They were both being playful - he wasn't actually talking down to her. He says "timid and shy and scared are you" while she's the one who's all over him. He knows she's none of those things, he's just playing. The romance was cute and innocent. He was just swept up by the nationalist propaganda and entirely brainwashed like so many young men. It's a sad and scary commentary on radicalism and the way it corrupts people who are otherwise lovely.

No it was only sprained..she injured it in rehearsal, jumping from bench to bench and her foot went thru a pane of glass. She was not badly hurt and was treated on set. She is dancing in the bandage. she received a pain injection and was able to complete the scene with a bandage which was removed in post production. You can see it tho, one of her ankles is clearly larger than the other..

Fun fact. In an early take the costumers forgot to put in Charmian Carr's anti-slip pads, and she slipped off one of the benches and went right through a glass panel. No serious injuries, but they had to wrap up her foot, and she completed the rest of the scene on an injured ankle. To anybody with dance experience, you'd know it must have been agonizing. To her credit, she finished it. In older cuts of the film, you can see the cast, but when it was put on DVD in the 90s, it was edited out so you can't tell.

The message of the scene was that she was young and innocent, and wasn't aware of the dangers of just falling in love with a man and going for him. Watch how he refuses her several attempts at making the situation intimate. He's not being a dick in this scene, he does love her but knows that she is too young for them to do anything. Him being a year older does mean something - it implies that he's older so he can better understand the gravity of his decisions.

It's about a boy trying to make a lame excuse (he's only a year older of course so it doesn't make a difference) to be her boyfriend essentially. And she knows how silly this is which is why she basically repeats everything he says and makes it seem like the logic of him being only a year older works. She's humoring him!

Back then to, women didn't have much say so on their own so they sadly had to pretty much depend on men to get anywhere in life working under them, marrying a particular one, etc.

When I was a tiny kid, maybe 3rd grade. I had a male music teacher who kind of scared me and other classmates. My mother who knew about him also being a teacher said he was scary cause he was gay, trapped in a straight marriage. And a lot of anger came out during his teaching, all I can say is I hope one day I can see him again and tell him that he was a huge influence in my love for musicals as this was the first one I ever seen that wasn’t Disney when he showed it to us in class. I just hope he’s happier now.

I remember when i was 12, me and my crush (also my childhood best friend) were watching this movie at his house ...and in the end when they kiss, i glanced at my crush and saw that he was already staring back at me and like we both blushed and looked away...and i probably romanticized that tiny moment a bit too much...but that was the moment when i fell in love with this song cuz it always reminded me of him....fast forward to now when I'm turning 17 in just a few hours...my crush rejected me a few months ago.... so now watching this song just makes me feel sad 😔

Charmaine Carr was not only beautiful but also had an amazing magnetic voice. Her beautiful voice reminds me of Karen Carpenter, my favorite singer. It's our loss she chose to leave the entertainment business. However it's good for her to pursue her passion in interior design. Wish her peace and happiness in heaven.

To be fair? At the start he was considered not good enough for her by her military father. When he betrays them it's because he's scared of what will happen to him even if he goes with her family. He's a kid.
