Harold Hill is a con man who poses as a boys' band organizer and leader and sells band instruments and uniforms to the naive Iowa townsfolk, promising to train the members of the new band. But Harold is no musician and plans to skip town without giving any music lessons. Prim librarian and piano teacher Marian sees through him, but when Harold helps her younger brother overcome his lisp and social awkwardness, Marian begins to fall in love. Harold risks being caught to win her.

John Leonard

It's all very retro-Disney, not harmful but oddly flat.

Fun and tuneful, but not up to Robert Preston original. Still, Broderick is very good.

A perfectly entertaining movie musical in most respects, it still can't hold a candle to the 1962 big-screen classic.

...never quite becomes as accessible as one would imagine it's meant to be.

Prof. Harold Hill may believe the "think" system will teach his..."band" to play. But no amount of brainpower could make...this Music Man ...anything but derivative.
