Me and my brother grew up with this movie, and recently I bought this to give as a gift to my little brother so he would have one of his own. It has A brilliant story about a boy band selling Con man with a heart of gold who rehabilitates after falling in love with both the town of River City and Marian the Librarian. And the music is AMAZING and memorable. Our favorites are "Rock Island", "Iowa Stubborn", "Pick-A-Little/Good Night Ladies", "Marian", "Wells Fargo", "Shipoopi", "Trouble", and of course "Seventy Six Trombones." I didn't get a chance to view the bonus features, but it had a great intro before the movie with a little bit of insight by the woman who played Marian that gave a bit of insight to the history of this beloved musical movie. And the disc itself played great without any problems. I would definately recommend this to any fan of this movie and musicals in general.Read full review

Robert Preston's incredible performance highlights one of the most entertaining movies in our collection. His 5-minute monologue Ya Got Trouble (Right Here in River City) is incomparable. The opening scene in the rail car's rapid-fire dialog is outstanding. The Proffesor Harold Hill, the consumate con-man, falls in love with the Marion the Librarian in this theatrical presentation of the Broadway hit that played over 1,000 performances, with Preston in the lead. You just can't come away from this movie without a big smile!

What can you say about a Classic Film and the stars in it brought back so many memories when I saw it back in 1962 at the Center Theater and it was only in Stereo without Surround Sound It still sounds good!!!
