Tour de Force for Robert Preston
Hollywood is notorious for remaking Broadway hits with "more commercial" stars and bypassing the stage actors who originated the roles.  Julie Andrews lost "My Fair Lady" to Audrey Hepburn,  Lucille Ball was chosen over Angela Lansbury for "Mame," and Rosalind Russell got the role of Mama Rose in "Gypsy" instead of powerhouse Ethel Merman.  Occasionally, however, studio executives make intelligent casting choices when adapting a Broadway musical, as in "The Music Man."<br /><br />"The Music Man" stars Robert Preston, from the original Broadway production, as con man Harold Hill.  "Professor" Hill sweeps into River City, Iowa, to form a boys' band, to the disapproval and later delight of the town librarian, Marian (Shirley Jones).  Preston created his signature role of the charming stranger who stirs up a sleepy town.  He transforms town skeptics into enthusiastic cheerleaders when he talk/sings "Ya Got Trouble," noting the evils of ragtime, slang, and young men frittering away their time playing pool.<br /><br />Composer Meredith Willson based "The Music Man" on his own small-town Midwestern boyhood, around 1912.  The score includes the standards "76 Trombones," "Till There Was You," "My White Night," and "Goodnight, My Someone."  The cast includes Buddy Hackett, Hermione Gingold, Paul Ford, and seven-year-old Ronnie Howard, who lisps his way through the tune, "Gary, Indiana."<br /><br />Opening on Broadway during its Golden Age of Musicals, "The Music Man" is an old-fashioned show, rich with comedy and melody, touching lightly on social commentary.  Preston makes his charlatan charismatic with fast talk, razzmatazz, "think system" of music education, and ability to make stodgy skeptics believe in the boys band.  Hill is larger than life -- a lovable scoundrel who is ultimately tamed by the lovely spinster Marian.  The movie is an enjoyable record of Preston's fiery, funny interpretation of musical comedy's foremost con man.  Blu-ray extras include a making-of featurette, an introduction by Shirley Jones, and a theatrical trailer.
