'The Music Man', the joyful film of the 1,375-perfromance Broadway smash, remains an irresistible skyburst of Americana. Robert Preston recreates his Tony-winning Broadway triumph as con artist Harold Hill, arriving in River City, Iowa, to form a boys band, much to the disapproval...and later delight of town librarian Marian Paroo (Academy Award? winner Shirley Jones). Buddy Hackett, Hermione Gingold, Paul Ford and 7-year-old Ron Howard co-star. Meredith Willson's sassy, brassy score, is orchestrated to Oscar? - Winning effect by Ray Heindorf. Digitally mastered from restored elements, this new edition offers a revitalized picture and vibrantly remixed Dolby Digital Surround Stereo.
