Summary: Music Man 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: 2nd best family movie musical in the world After "Singin in the Rain", "The Music Man" is the best all family musical from 4 year olds to 44 yr olds to 104 yr olds. What makes a smile stay on your face for 2 hrs of movie watching and carry with you throughout the next 24 hours and gives you a joyful approach to the day better than humming or singing "76 Trombones"? Watching young Ron Howard and the legendary Robert Preston in the same movie is a real treat. The movie actually expands the show by dimension not change of story or format. What can I say? I have loved this movie and show since it came out and found great joy in introducing it to my grandkids (instead of more animation and "made for kids" movies) and they (to my delight) loved it too. Summary: The Music Man I was not happy with the quality of this dvd. The duet between Shirley Jones and the barber shop quartet was a HUGH disappointment. You can only here the barber shop quartet singing and Shirley Jones voice is silent and only her lips move. This is one of the better songs in the movie and I was upset needless to say. I will think twice before buying from this setter again. Maybe I should have realized that a cheaper price does not insure a quality product. Summary: "But He Doesn't Know The Territory ~ Bucking Public Opinion Well, sorry to throw a monkey wrench into the praise party for the '62 film `The Music Man' but I have to be honest and say this is definitely not one of my favorite musicals. Yes there are moments of brilliance here; Robert Preston is magnificent as Professor Harold Hill and Shirley Jones is indeed lovely and sings beautifully, but I have decided to face the wrath of its legion of adoring fans and relate some of the reasons why this film bothers me. The single most important aspect of a musical is the music itself and in my estimation it is here that the production fails. With the exception of the beautiful `Til There Was You' and the clever `Marian the Librarian' I don't find any of the other numbers either noteworthy or memorable. In fact I find a number of them to be quite annoying such as the opening number `The Traveling Salesman', `Piano Lessons' and `Shipoopi'. Worst of all, if I have to hear that inane and repetitious `Gary, Indiana' song one more time I think I'll scream. On the other hand, maybe I just prefer musicals that are a little more melancholy and reflective rather than lighthearted and whimsical, something with less brass and more strings? Anyway I've said it. I may be the lone contrary but it's my opinion nevertheless. I feel better now. Summary: River City... Here I come...! ! ! ! After seeing this movie musical.. I ran out and booked a flight to River City Iowa... Got my suspenders and my straw hat...dance shoes too! Robert Preston is a Stitch.. however..Buddy Hackett sings awful. and.. Ronny Howard.. OMG.. what happened to all that gorgeous red hair?? I bet he didnt see that comming ah??.. LOL All the musical numbers are addicting...and if your a 60's child.. This DVD will take you back in time a spell. Remember.. "We've got Trouble right here in River City ..with a capital "T" that rhyms with "P" and that stands for Pool." |
