Too stagey and too gooey, but it preserves Preston's classic performance
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: B- --
The music is glorious, but as a movie, this is a photographed play, a nostalgic evocation of small-town American that was congruent with Kennedy's New Frontier; within a year, though, Kennedy would be assassinated and the optimistic mood would vanish

Robert Preston shines in one of the sunniest ol' musical classics under the sun.

Description by OLDIES.com:
This joyful film of the 1,375-performance Broadway smash remains an irresistible skyburst of Americana. Robert Preston recreates his Tony-winning Broadway triumph as con artist Harold Hill, arriving in River City, Iowa, to form a boys band, much to the disapproval - and later delight of town librarian Marian Paroo (Academy Award winner Shirley Jones). Buddy Hackett, Hermione Gingold, Paul Ford and 7-year-old Ron Howard co-star. Meredith Willson's sassy, brassy score - featuring the unforgettable "Seventy-Six Trombones" and "Till There Was You" among other marvelous melodies - is orchestrated to brilliant Oscar-winning effect by Ray Heindorf.
Bonus material includes introduction by Shirley Jones, "Right Here in River City" vintage featurette and trailer.
