Morton Da Costa, who directed Meredith Willson's hit musical on Broadway, was given carte blanche by Jack Warner to re-create it on the screen, and this Oscar-winning blockbuster is the result. The dynamic Robert Preston reprises his Broadway role as the energetic, silver-tongued conman who charms the elders of River City, Iowa, into financing a band. Also involved are Buddy Hackett, Hermione Gingold and Shirley Jones, the romantic interest and subject of the song Marian the Librarian. Onna White's electric choreography and a score that includes the ballad Till There Was You and the show-stopping 76 Trombones contribute to an invigorating experience.
