THE MUSIC MAN
July 4, 2020  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
There’s trouble, right here in River City – trouble, and a wonderful family musical that’s a great way to end any 4th of July celebration. Gather the family, and watch Robert Preston command his way through this 1962 film version of Meredith Willson’s Tony-winning musical. Shirley Jones is a shimmering Marian the Librarian, and Ronny Howard – already a few years into appearing as Opie on The Andy Griffith Show – steals his scenes as little, lispy Winthrop.
