The Music Man - Trouble... right here in River City!

My favorite clip from my favorite musical of all time... don't even talk of remakes. Here Robert Preston, as con man par excellence "Professor Harold Hill" plays on the fears of naive and righteous midwestern Americans in order to line his own pockets... simply brilliant. It reminds me of the song and dance certain elected officials have been doing in order to get you to support their wars and stealing your liberties. :)

@Largo64 That preview was shown about six months before the movie was released. I never saw a movie audience react like that to a film before, or since. I can't imagine a better cast. Certainly the Disney version was not even close.

My favorite musical is The Music Man. I have watched this many times, and enjoyed it every time. It's just a pleasure! This version, too is waaay better than the Disney remake a few years ago. I saw this the first time in a preview at the Crown Theater in Pasadena, CA. Nobody knew what to expect. When the snare drum riff started there was a reaction in the audience. When Meredith Willson's name flashed on the screen the people cheered. They clapped after every scene, as if the actors could hear.

He assesses the customer’s current state.
He defines the problem.
He defines the solution.
He appeals to the buyer’s emotions.
He believes in his product.
The perfect pitch! :)

What a great clip! My favorite song from one of America's classic musicals! Prof. Harold Hill was the role the late great Robert Preston was BORN to play. I'm so glad they let him repeat his Broadway role in the 1962 movie version from Warner Bros. Smart move on their part...that's for sure! Thanks for sharing this great clip with us!
