VHS Movie Reviews of The Music Man

Movie Review: The Music Man
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Movie Review: Poor DVD quality
Summary: 2 Stars

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.

Movie Review: A great musical!
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

Movie Review: Pretty poor CD
Summary: 1 Stars

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

Movie Review: Music Man
Summary: 4 Stars

The Music Man, of course, is a fantastic movie and the movie itself is excellent. However, I was not happy about the delivery time. I had ordered it on a Wed., and paid the extra for faster delivery. I was told the 'estimated' delivery would be Friday, but didn't get arrive at the house until Tuesday. I have never had this happen with Amazon. I was disappointed because I had wanted it no later than Saturday because it was a gift.

Summary of The Music Man

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
