Great movie, bad packing
Movie is a classic and 5 stars. Amazon's packing is lacking however. Just a plain brown paper envelope with no padding. Case is completely cracked and broken.

An amazing thing happened when I first saw The Music Man in its first run in the summer of '62. I won't be giving away any plot points to say that the end credits are handled by showing the actors alone or in groups, in costume, above or below their names. Instead of just sitting there, the audience responded as if they were at a live stage version when the various actors come out at the end, wildly applauding each group until they were cheering for Shirley Jones and Robert Preston. That's the kind of enthusiastic response this movie usually creates in people. The Music Man is one of the very best film versions of a stage musical, in this case, opened up in a (seemingly) real town, an improvement over any stage version I've ever seen. The look of the sets is perfect for Meredith Willson's fond recollection of his boyhood in Mason City, Iowa. The score he wrote for it is one of the most accomplished, loved and well-known. The acting from everyone involved is really good, though being a musical you must consider that some of the comic characters are played over-the-top. This is 10/10, five stars, thumbs up all around. Enjoy it!
THE ACTUAL MASON CITY BOYS" BAND OF 1912_PICTURE BELOW. While hunting around the internet I found this picture of the real Mason City Boys' Band. They seem to be from an orphans' home and sponsored by the International Order of Odd Fellows, a fraternal order like the Elks or Shriners. In their uniforms they would fit right in the movie. Just thought some people would like seeing them.
EXTRA NOTE-SOME SPOILERS!
The one controversial note that has plagued The Music Man from its very beginning has been about the character of Harold Hill. He is, after all, a con man. But consider a few things before you rush to judgement. The story requires some kind of tension. If a nice guy goes to a nice town and meets a nice girl...well, that's all fine in real life but it doesn't do much for a theatrical presentation. So he can't be a totally nice guy. Also, deep down, the story is about the redemptive power of love. Thus he has to need some redemption. At the same time, we're supposed to like this con man. As con men go, he's not really a bad one, in fact, as cons go his is pretty inept. He comes to town, sells everybody on the boys'band and then collects for uniforms and expensive instruments. Now here's where a true con man skips town. But no, the instruments and uniforms are delivered. The only real con is that he can teach music; there he is at fault, but at least he attended the band's "Think Method" practices. He didn't run away with everyone's hard earned money, so you can't really hate him.
