Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - The Music Man on VHS-Don't buy it--Buy the DVD on WS
This musical "The Music Man" Starring Robert Preston, Shirley Jones, Ron Howard & others has always been one of my all time favorite musical's. I have this VHS film of this movie, which i have had for a long time. It's a Great Musical, but do yourself a favor & buy it now on DVD & make sure you get the one on Widescreen. In my opinion, it makes all the difference in the world as far as Quality goes to be able to have it on Widescreen period. This is definitely true for the Classic Epic Film's.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - so good!
I remember MUSIC MAN well, from my childhood, when they used to air this on broadcast television, on a regular basis.

Will this man of music and smoke and mirrors win over the heart of this uptight woman?You'll have to see this film and see how all of the plot twists turn out! What's more, some of Meredith Wilson's best music is featured here (including "Seventy-six Trombones," "Trouble in River City," and "Gary, Indiana"). This film also features a very ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Classic Musical
I must admit the first time I ever watched this version of the "Music Man", I wasn't exactly impressed. The music was great, the acting very good, but still something didn't seem right. After watching the version staring Matthew Broderick on ABC and loved it, I decided to give the original another try. I've come to the conclusion that the film's major flaw is its cinematography. The film never seems to break past being a Broadway show and most of the staging reflects that. Most of the action takes place just as it would on the stage with little creativity. Even with this flaw, the film is still a lot of fun. Robert Preston's Harold Hill, the traveling con man attempting to swindle the town of River City, is a remarkable performance. Herminie Granger and Susan Luckey also put in great performances as Mrs. Shinn, the mayor's wife, and her daughter Zaneeta respectively. Shirley Jones also stars as Marian, the town librarian ...
