Synopsis:
"The Music Man", the joyful film of the 1,375-performance Broadway smash, remains a skyburst of Americana as irresistible as 4th of July fireworks. Robert Preston recreates his Tony-winning Broadway triumph as "Profesor" Harold Hill, a con artist arriving in River City. Iowa, to form a boys band, much to the early disapproval...and later delight of town librarian and piano teacher Marian Paroo (Shirley Jones). Buddy Hacket, Hermione Gingold, Paul Ford and 7-year-old Ron Howard (onceTV's Opie, now one of Hollywood's hottest directors) co-star.
Meredith Willson's sassy, brassy score, with hits like the rambunctious 'Yo Got Trouble', the tender 'Till There Was You' and the untoppable 'Seventy-Sic Trombones', is orchestrated to Oscar-winning effects by Ray Heindorf.
