Sort of a tangent, but the baroness has always been one of my favorite movie characters. The way she's set up they could have easily written her as colossal bitch (she's wealthy, she's disconnected from the kids, she's the rival love interest, etc.), but instead she's kind to both Maria and the captain, and just gracefully ends things and moves on.

nayrt

Me too! I was especially relieved that the writers didn't set up some kind of mutual-jealousy, bitch-slappy vibe between the Baroness and Maria. The lady had dignity and honour.

Maybe the Baroness wasn't quite right for Capt. Gorgeous, but she was... all right :-)

Yes. There was some initial scheming, perhaps, when she convinces Maria to return to the convent, but in the end she chooses to be gracious rather than vindictive.

Well, yes and no. (And FTR I like the Baroness as well, mainly because she has two KICKASS songs in the stage musical that were cut. Sadly. They're so cynical and awesome. You dear, attractive, dewy-eyed idealist/Today you have to learn to be a realist...)

But it seems to me with her conversation with Maria at the party, she says a lot of things designed to make Maria feel self-conscious and even guilty--calculated to make Maria run away, that is, especially with the "there's nothing more irresistible to a man than a woman who's in love with him" line.
