2/4  Madame Libraaarrrrrriiiiiaaannnn
Such a fun musical, "Music Man" is Meredith Wilson's opus of genius. With the very first rap in recorded history and some of the best American-themed plot, this is a story of heist and love. Wonderful and fun (though not the best version... (read full)

3.5/4  The Music Man Quick Review
This is a wonderfully, fun musical. Keeping in mind that it's made in the 60s and about a small town in the first half of the 20th century, there are lots of laughs and fun songs.

5/5 The Music Man

Thoroughly enjoyable DVD, with excellent color and excellent quality. I love the music in this musical. Robert Preston does an incredible job as the con man who comes to town to start a boy's band. The "76 Trombones" number is lots of fun. And it's fun to see Ron Howard as a little boy. Great musical.

4/5 Music-filled story of a simpler time
  by A. Elliott
This movie of Meredith Wilson's "The Music Man" is quite a treat for the eyes and ears.
This bargain-priced edition offers some extra features - the soundtrack has been remastered; there's a short documentary on the making of the movie; an intro by Shirley Jones, who plays the female lead; and a couple of theatrical trailers.
This is plenty for me. I find the so-called "audio commentaries" (where someone is yaking while the movie is running) to be an annoyance. And I've never understood why DVDs sometimes include a radio version of the movie. I've got the movie, for heaven's sake!
Anyway, if you're a curmudgeon like me and buy movie DVDs for the movie, take advantage of Amazon's great price on this one. You won't be sorry.



2/5 I hate this movie.

I found this movie to be cheesey and annoying, but I know many who love it. I simply don't like any of the songs.
