Notes
Story Synopsis:
Reprising his role from Meredith Wilson’s Broadway success, The Music Man, Robert Preston is Professor Harold Hill, a con man who travels through small towns selling boy’s band uniforms and instruments with the promise of teaching them how to play. Once he collects the deposit money, he skips town. That is until he meets the good folk of River City, Iowa. Memorable songs, spectacular dance sequences, colorful costumes and engaging performances make The Music Man a movie musical classic.
DVD Picture:
The dual-layered, anamorphic DVD, when viewed in component video, exhibits superb, vibrant color fidelity with natural fleshtones, rich hues and deep, true blacks. Images are generally sharp with fine background detail, no doubt due to the increased resolution of the anamorphic processing. Contrast and shadow delineation are nicely rendered. The DVD appears digital in some scenes, but exhibits no distracting artifacts. The anamorphic and letterbox DVD ratio is framed at 2.35:1.
Soundtrack:
The original theatrical soundtrack has been remastered and encoded in 5.1 discrete Dolby® Digital. The sound fidelity is dated and mono-focused with the music score presented in stereo surround. Surround envelopment is limited to the music, but the Dolby Digital has some .1 LFE added. Dialogue is quite forward and sounds produced on a soundstage. This is a highly manufactured-sounding soundtrack.
