The Music Man, the joyful film of the 1,375-performance 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 Willsons 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.
