Seventy six trombones

Why can't Hollywood make movies like this anymore? Shoot-em-up action movies certainly have their place, but it seems like studio executives think there's something wrong with a good, clean, funny musical.

I'll confess, I have loved movies like the Hangover, where the jokes are pretty dirty, but nothing has made me laugh as hard as abbott and costello or I love Lucy.

robert preston IS harold hill!

I was under the impression the Robert Preston WAS Robert Preston!
How very wrong I was...

lol you made a funny :3

Dick Van Dyke played the role of Harold Hill during the first Broadway revival. I wonder how his performance would have compared with Robert Preston.

What really excited me was, when they revived it about 6 years ago, they offered the part to Conan O'Brian.

He eventually had to turn it down because of his schedule, but he says that to this day it was his biggest regret.

I would have honestly have loved to see Conan do this part. I think he'd be absolutely fantastic.

i luv this!!  :)

I heard a drum corps playing this this year and burst out laughing because DCI doesnt have trombones haha

I love this movie! We did a production of it last year in my school..it turned out amazing but it was complicated considering we only have a high school of 60 people but it was so AWESOME!!!!

i love this film!
