@aftonhalters Meredith Wilson, the man who made The Music Man, would not let this movie be done unless Robert Preston was the lead, since he had originated the role on stage.
In the interview with Shirley Jones, she tells how this scene was filmed towards the end of production. She was near full term with her son! These two were perfect for this film. Watch her interview.
@yeahitsme58 According to Shirley, they both had their arms around each other, and were holding each other in a very tight embrace, had their eyes closed, and were really into it. Preston leaned in for the kiss, landed it, and everything was going wonderfully... until Patrick kicked him in the gut right in the middle of that beautiful clinch!!! Shirley says Preston's eyes "flew open," he "stepped back," and startled. said "What the hell was THAT? ROTFLMAO
I know you commented last month but those notes are quiet easy if you're a soprano...but if you're like an alto then yeah those would be wicked high..
not to sound cocky but I can hit all the notes and I'm really happy about that :)
He was 44, she was 28. I hate when they cast an old guy with someone he probably could not get otherwise. Unless she's a gold digger :) Paint Your Wagon just popped into my head ! Yuckie old Lee Marvin & Jean Seberg. Poor Jean .. :( Clint made up for that though I think :)
@aftonhalters Harold Hill is SUPPOSED to be a lot older than Marian. He's around 40-42, and she's supposed to be 26. Well Preston at the time of the filming was 42, Jones about 26-27. perfect.
this version strikes me as so much more sincere than the kristin chenoweth version. shirley jones looks genuinely in love... plus i like her voice more
@zenofskittles Well, Shirley Jones was singing to Robert Preston. Who WOULDN'T look genuinely in love? Chenoweth was singing to Matthew Broderick, no comparison. Plus for some reason the key was lowered.
@zenofskittles EVERY Baby Boomer girl wanted to be Shirley Jones on the footbridge, with Robert Preston looking at US that way, and being kissed by him, OMG. Baby Boomer boys, fot their part, all felt Shirley was "yummy." So true.
Oh my god how is anyone supposed to hit those high notes?! They are inhuman. Im supposed to audition with this song for the school musical and there is no way im gonna b able to hit those notes. Thanks a lot Shirley Jones:)

Bloody hell, at least she doesn't go as high as Kristin, or I fear I'll never be able to sing this song! And I'm auditioning to play Marian next week! D=
She was actually pregnant while they were filming this movie. If you look real close, you can see a little bit of a bump, but you really have to know what you're looking for; they did a real good job hiding it beneath corsets and frills.
@90geekgirl06 According to Shirley, they both had their arms around each other, and were holding each other in a very tight embrace, had their eyes closed, and were really into it. Preston leaned in for the kiss, landed it, and everything was going wonderfully... until Patrick kicked him in the gut right in the middle of that beautiful clinch!!! Shirley says Preston's eyes "fflew open," he "stepped back," and startled. said "What the hell was THAT? ROTFLMAO
Notice the surprised look on Robert Preston's face (he looks to the sky) after he kissed Shirley Jones? She didn't tell anyone she was pregnant and the baby kicked Mr. Preston after the kiss!!! Neat!!!!
Ah... I recently got casted for Harold in this musical at my high school, and I'm excited about it. My classmate who is playing Marian is a beautiful young woman, who is very theatrically and vocally talented, but I'm not quite sure that she's had her first kiss yet... But as long as she would be ok with it, I'm looking forward to being one of her first kisses, and I think that that'd be wonderful. :) But we're all hoping to put on a great show! Wish us luck, YouTubers!
@StShamus Ahaha, but that is not true. 'Marian' and I practiced our kiss scenes 'for real' before he practiced his with her. She.. Had her mouth open a little bit on the first one, and she had warned me beforehand that she 'wouldn't be good at it' haha. But for her first kiss(es), she held her demeanor very well! Funny Fact #1: Her and the girl who played Eulalie MacKecknie Shinn are very good friends. Funny Fact #2: I've been dating that girl who played Eulalie, and I played Harold Hill. :P
@cellularautomata older men younger woman, always was and always will be the fantasy (or reality) I'm 55 and I'd go for Marion any time.... How about Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady..... I'll save that one 'till I'm even older.........
LOVE this movie--and the musical its based on. Sort of an American time piece--the sentiment and naivite of it---a time never to come again!! And the immortal songs--like this--reflect that and so much more. I feel like eating a hot fudge sundae or corn on the cob while watching it.
i will NEVER stop loving this song. i played Marian at my high school recently and had the time of my life. the show and this song will always be so close to my heart :)
When Preston kissed Shirley on the bridge he found out she was pregnant with her son Patrick. She kept it secret during filming of the movie. Only the director knew.
Shirley Jones is exceptionally talented but to be completely honest I think that I prefer the remake simply because these two don't have quite the same chemistry of Matthew and Kristen. They both made the movies their own but my preferance is probably the remake.
Beatlemania, first done as a musical on Broadway in 1957 with Robert Preston than as a movie in 1962. The Beatles came out with it in the same year on "Meet The Beatles."
You know she was pregnant during this scene, which probably heightened her already Hollywood caliber beauty (most pregnant women get a lil boost from hormonal activity--fully hair/lips, a glow)
@ CatapultYourMom: Just like the other things they covered in the early days "We need stuff to fill this album and with the right arrangement it can work wonders".
funnily enough, Shirley Jones was pregnant during the filming of this, and VERY pregnant during this song, but they had her wear a special corset (poor kid!!), and she can STILL sing like this. It's amazing!
I personally that The Beatles and The Music Man is both GREAT! We can not argue about this because it is to different to compare: in this it is a girl singing, she sings it a different key, different accompaniment. Then The Beatles: Paul sang it in a lower key, and was not the same accompaniment. But , really my perception is maybe not completely correct, it is your choice really. Don't get me wrong though. . . Paulie's version of this was a heart melting, honey comb dew dripping love of sound.
The beatles version is so different to this so they're hard to compare as this is a musical but i personally prefer paul mcCartney's version on with the beatles
@MorganHillChristine - No, she's phenomenal, but no one beats Julie. Andrews has a clarity that even Shirley Jones doesn't have. Was she really six months pregnant? She doesn't look like she is.
@TheLadyWhoLunches According to Shirley, they both had their arms around each other, and were holding each other in a very tight embrace, had their eyes closed, and were really into it. Preston leaned in for the kiss, landed it, and everything was going wonderfully... until Patrick kicked him in the gut right in the middle of that beautiful clinch!!! Shirley says Preston's eyes "fflew open," he "stepped back," and startled. said "What the hell was THAT? ROTFLMAO!!!
@TheLadyWhoLunches Deat God, wouldn't that be hysterical? Preston NEVER forgot it, and years later when Patrick intorduced himnself to him, Pres took a several steps back and said, "we've met."
@TheLadyWhoLunches Patrick, Shirley, and especially Preston were all roaring with laughter over the whole absurd situation. Pres did not know Shirley was pregnant, and neither did anyone else except the director, lol. Imagine his shock when he felt a kick on the footbridge.
@TheLadyWhoLunches Everytime Shirley repeats that story, the audience ROARS with laughter, still after all these years. Oh well, Preston was known to love jokes, and this must have been one of the funniest EVER.
Ahhh I'm trying out for Marion on Monday!!!!!! I'm scared! Well, at least we don't have to kiss. Because I have a feeling Harold is going to be a really annoying person!
Omfg!! i <3 this song .Were actually doing this song forthis years play and im going to try to get marians part and we have to sing this song for try outs im scared but exctied evry1 says ill get it because ive gotten main roles before but her high notes hurt my voice , oh and we actually have to kiss! ah!
alright, i LOVE both versions of this movie, but i'm REALLY hard-pressed to say who sings this better: kristin or shirley. i think kristin might actually go an octave higher, or maybe i'm imaging things?
@scgtlp When Kristin sings it, her first note in the song is D#. And then there's a key change. And when she sings with Matthew, her first note is G. And when she hit's that high note (that she does so well), its a high Bb. When Shirley sings it, she starts on F#. There is no key change. And her high note is just an F# up the octave. So, the two versions are in totally different keys. Kristin and Shirley are both incredibly amazing and Im in love with them both and both versions of the movie. :D
Shirley Jones won two Academy Awards, sang like a bird and was gorgeous. Robert Preston has never been surpassed. The Beatles (and don't reply) really did not sing well. They had some wonderful songs and were of a time but others did their songs better than them. Ouch!!
@TheDisneyFan111 Everything's easier when your leading lady isn't secretly pregnant! As it is I'm amazed Shirley Jones was able to sing and dance the way she did while pregnant.
@ember514 yeah i was surprised when they said it behind the scenes. that's why she was wearing that orange dress in the one scene and this dress now. she was wearing corsets and frills underneath to conceal the baby.
Robert Preston's performance made it impossible for anyone, including Mathew Broderick, to follow him. This happens a lot -- how a performer "just fits."
@itsconnorjon That's because it was done in analog. Digital will never be able to match the quality of analog either on video or (most especially) audio.

alright, i LOVE both versions of this movie, but i'm REALLY hard-pressed to say who sings this better: kristin or shirley. i think kristin might actually go an octave higher, or maybe i'm imaging things?
scgtlp 11 months ago
@scgtlp When Kristin sings it, her first note in the song is D#. And then there's a key change. And when she sings with Matthew, her first note is G. And when she hit's that high note (that she does so well), its a high Bb. When Shirley sings it, she starts on F#. There is no key change. And her high note is just an F# up the octave. So, the two versions are in totally different keys. Kristin and Shirley are both incredibly amazing and Im in love with them both and both versions of the movie. :D

It would have been better with Paul McCartney as the music man because he already was.

Shirley Jones won two Academy Awards, sang like a bird and was gorgeous. Robert Preston has never been surpassed. The Beatles (and don't reply) really did not sing well. They had some wonderful songs and were of a time but others did their songs better than them. Ouch!!

@TheDisneyFan111 Everything's easier when your leading lady isn't secretly pregnant! As it is I'm amazed Shirley Jones was able to sing and dance the way she did while pregnant.

@ember514 yeah i was surprised when they said it behind the scenes. that's why she was wearing that orange dress in the one scene and this dress now. she was wearing corsets and frills underneath to conceal the baby.

Robert Preston's performance made it impossible for anyone, including Mathew Broderick, to follow him. This happens a lot -- how a performer "just fits."
Saw him on Broadway. Can't be equaled.

@itsconnorjon I think it 's because they ran out of the original material they used for color films, not sure about that though
fromthenorthwest 1 year ago
@itsconnorjon That's because it's actual film, not digital. So it's technically more realistic.
KaleidoscopeFilmsInc 1 year ago
@itsconnorjon That's because it was done in analog. Digital will never be able to match the quality of analog either on video or (most especially) audio.
