The Music Man, labeled as one of the last great musicals to come from any studio, is now available
on Blu-Ray high-definition. I’m not much of a musical lover; my wife is the musical enthusiast in
the family – so of course I’m subjected to a musical viewing from time to time. I must say
that The Music Man is not one of my favorites. It just seems odd that Warner Bros. would release The Music
Man on Blu-ray before releasing Singin’ in the Rain, the beloved classic musical that is far superior to this one.
This movie just never caught my attention like the few musicals that I can actually say aren’t terrible.
In no way is this a horrible movie, but with so many old classic musicals out there, I would have to say this is near
the bottom of the list for me.
Robert Preston, making his musical debut, plays “Professor” Harold
Hill. Robert plays this role perfectly, a definite stand-out in the movie.
If you’re a musical fan, this is probably for you, but
if you’re an occasional viewer looking for something to fill you up – keep looking, I’m sure a better musical
will come along shortly.
