review of the music manl October 17, 2007 just a great musical - one of the best ever produced by hollywood - recommended for everyone
The Music Man September 18, 2007 What a wonderful movie! The energy and staging of this movie captured the esssence of Music Man while setting it in a movie setting vs Broadway. I love the stage version also.
Music to my ears! August 4, 2007 What a joy to be able to add this great musical to my library. Thanks so much for a great DVD and at great price.
Great Classic July 23, 2007 This is a wonderful version of a wonderful movie. It is beautifully restored and is crisp as a Fall day in Iowa.
The Music Man is still good Music, Man July 16, 2007 1 out of 6 found this review helpful
Meredith Wilson was responsible for some great music but he manages here to paint a beautiful picture of early 1900, Small Town America. He does this by skillful blending of dialect, story and, of course music that allows one to overlook a very improbable story line.
To an extent the production is stylized such that only Robert Preston could make the lead character believable. However, he had already lost much of the vitality the role required when the movie was made. And that is the productions weak point. The actors are clearly acting to support the interludes between the music. But the music is what makes the man.
