Description!

Meredith Willson's "The Music Man" is rather easy to describe. It's about a con artist named Prof. Harold Hill who comes to po-dunk town River City, Iowa. While he is there, he "hoodwinks" the town into buying band instruments, instruction books, and uniforms, while Hill gaurentees to teach the boys how to play. A good con huh? You think it works out? Or does the lovely librairian figure it out first? To find out, WATCH THE MOVIE! 4 1/2 stars! A great toe-tapping movie!
