THE MUSIC MAN
July 4, 2015  | By David Bianculli  | 1 comment

TCM, 10:15 p.m. ET

 

I have such a soft spot for this musical, which was one of the ones performed by my Nova High School performing arts troupe – and I still love watching this 1962 movie version, especially since TCM shows it in its proper super-widescreen ratio. Robert Preston owns the role of fast-talking salesman Harold Hill, and Shirley Jones makes for a fine Marian the librarian. But watch for her precious little lisping little brother, Winthrop – he’s played by a very, very young Ron Howard.

But the best Marian is Barbara Cook, in the original Broadway cast.
