This movie of Meredith Wilson's "The Music Man" is quite a treat for the eyes and ears.
This bargain-priced edition offers some extra features - the soundtrack has been remastered; there's a short documentary on the making of the movie; an intro by Shirley Jones, who plays the female lead; and a couple of theatrical trailers.
This is plenty for me. I find the so-called "audio commentaries" (where someone is yaking while the movie is running) to be an annoyance. And I've never understood why DVDs sometimes include a radio version of the movie. I've got the movie, for heaven's sake!
Anyway, if you're a curmudgeon like me and buy movie DVDs for the movie, take advantage of Amazon's great price on this one. You won't be sorry.

I found this movie to be cheesey and annoying, but I know many who love it. I simply don't like any of the songs.

So Special! A beautiful print, great sound and the Shirley Jones intro and extras makes it all the more special and fun to watch. If you love it, you'll love the DVD!
...that this is a "Dawn of DVD" product. That is, it was one of the first films ever released on DVD. I bought this product when it first came out, so I've had it for over ten years. Back in 1999 we were just all awestruck by the fact that a movie would fit on something smaller than a brick (VHS) and might even have room for and contain a featurette. In this case your extra feature is the featurette "Right Here in River City: The Making of Meredith Willson's The Magic Man". There are also two trailers, and that is it.
Looking at the film today, this disc is a dinosaur. The colors seem runny and the hue a bit off, and the sound is rather uneven. The disc can often be had for a greatly reduced price, and the quality is probably the reason why. This film is ripe for a redo and most probably a Blu-Ray release, so I would save my money until that time, if I was you.
As far as the film itself as art, it is one of the great musical motion pictures. I can't imagine anyone but Robert Preston as fast-talking fast-thinking Professor Harold Hill, and then there's my favorite line in the film as spoken by the mayor "And now I'd like to present a spectacle - my wife." The music is wonderful and memorable, and the whole thing just captures small-town life at the beginning of the twentieth century in such a charming way. I've liked this film since I was in my 20's, back when I thought that "The Terminator" was classic cinema.
In summary, I couldn't recommend the film more highly, but as for the DVD I'd wait until Warner Home Video comes out with an upgraded product. One is long overdue.
