DESCRIPTION:Meredith Wilson's hit 1957 Broadway musical was transferred to 
 the screen in larger-than-life fashion in 1962. Robert Preston repeats his 
 legendary stage performance as fast-talking con man Harold Hill\, who goes 
 from town to town selling citizens on starting a "boy's band\," then extrac
 ts money from them by ordering instruments and uniforms\, with the promise 
 that he'll teach the kids how to be musicians. Once he's collected his bank
 roll\, Hill skips town\, leaving the kids in the lurch. Looking for new suc
 kers in Iowa\, Hill arrives in River City\, where he declares that the only
  way to save the youth of River City from the lure of the poolroom is to or
 ganize a boy's band. He charms the mayor's wife Eulalie (Hermione Gingold) 
 into forming a "ladies' dance committee" and sets his sights on winning ove
 r local music teacher Marian Paroo (Shirley Jones). Marian rightly consider
 s Hill a fraud\, especially when he espouses the "Think System" of learning
  music: if you think a tune\, he claims\, you can play it. But Marian becom
 es Hill's staunchest ally when her young brother Winthrop (Ronny Howard)\, 
 sullen and withdrawn since the death of his father\, exuberantly comes out 
 of his shell at the prospect of joining Hill's band\; and Marian's budding 
 romance with the charming but unreliable Hill ultimately brings her out of 
 her own shell as well. Marion Hargrove's script uses most of the original p
 lay\, with a handful of amusing expansions\, especially in the roles played
  by Gingold and by Buddy Hackett as Hill's comic sidekick. ~ Hal Erickson\,
