The Music Man was one of the last great movie musicals from any studio, and it proved to be that rarest of events: a Broadway show that was measurably improved by its transition to the screen. Robert Preston made his musical debut--both live and on film--as "Professor" Harold Hill, the upbeat charlatan who promises to teach a small-town boys band by the "think system." But it's the part Preston was born to play and the one for which he will always be best remembered. Composer Meredith Willson based The Music Man on his own small-town Midwestern boyhood, circa 1912, a quasi-mythical place where the old-maid librarian looks and sings like Shirley Jones. The boy himself is an adorable Ron Howard, lisp-singing "Gary, Indiana." Willson's entire score, featuring a combination of what are now standards, such as "Goodnight My Someone" and "Till There Was You" and show-specific numbers ("Trouble," "76 Trombones"), is never less than infectious. This dazzling special edition is also as bright and sunny as any 4th of July in Iowa could ever hope to be. --Robert Windeler

The product came on time and in great condition. I was able to use it right away! As far as musicals go, this is a classic! I would reccommend purchasing it if you are feeling hesitant!

I missed the original movie, am going to watch this when a neighbor returns. We enjoy viewing movies at home once or twice a month.
 Poor DVD quality October 1, 2008
M. Martin (Charlottesville, VA)
The first and last thirds of the movie are Ok -- not great quality -- but the middle third hangs up time after time. You must fast forward to get it past the "bad spot" and then resume watching. But you can't go back and watch or listen to the piece that you've missed or it hangs up (freezes) again.
A great musical! September 18, 2008
Pamela Scott Batzek (San Diego)
This is a great movie. I got my husband to watch it with me and he couldn't believe how much fun it was. Give it a try. You won't regret it.
 Pretty poor CD September 16, 2008

CD worked for half the movie then nothing. Repeated attempts to play were fruitless. Nothing.
