The Music Man is a 1962 musical adaptation of the Meredith Wilson musical of the same name. Taking place in the early 1910s of America, it follows the national con man Harold Hill, as he slowly develops a plot to swindle the town of River City, Iowa (Based on Wilson's own hometown of Mason City) out of its money via the creation of a boys' marching band. The film version starred Robert Preston, Shirley Jones, Buddy Hackett, Paul Ford, and Hermione Gingold, and has gone down as one of the greatest musical films of all time according to critics and historians.On a new episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott tackle the verbose Meredith Wilson musical head on, with a screening of The Music Man. Join them as they question the veracity of Harold Hill's conning abilities, the general sanity of River City itself, and the appropriateness of the virile, sexual stallion that is Buddy Hackett....with Lilz & Scott!

"The Music Man" is a movie (videotape) produced first in 1966, after being a long-running Broadway Musical by Meredith Willson. It's loaded with stars such as Robert Preston, Shirley Jones, Ron Howard, Buddy Hackett, Hermione Gingold, and Paul Ford. Professor Harold Hill is a gilt-edged con artist who has more schemes than a hound dog has fleas. He hoodwinks the credulous townsfolk of River City, Iowa, into organizing a boys band so he can sell them nonexistent band instruments, then tries to skip town before his chicanery is unmasked by the suspicious and lovely Marian, the town librarian. In the end . . . Not only is this one of my all-time favorite movies with memorable music, but to me, the storyline contains most of the key sales principles for products and services: 1. The environment for selling anything is constantly changing-- in this case, credit versus cash sales. Most of the old-time salesmen are complaining in the opening song about the new wave of credit sales. 2. It's a big world out there and there are lots of customers for any product or service; and, you have to keep banging on doors until the right group of buyers for your product or service is found. 3. You "gotta' know the territory" into which you'll be selling and the psychology of the people who will be potential buyers. 4. There has to be a "hook". The customer must have a need. This is a critical aspect for any sales effort, and The Music Man recognizes that the new pool hall in town must have a counter-culture for the young boys, and thus is created the "River City Boys Band." 5. The customer must recognize the need, and that action is necessary to fulfill the need. Dramatic selling may be required in some cases to enforce this principle. 6. Find an advocate in an organization. Get someone who has influence (especially if they can be "converted" and thus become very zealous.) This is where The Music Man excels. 7. Locate the official who can veto the decision. Involve that person in a positive aspect of the decision, or convince the secretary, marketing person, federal sales manager or spouse. Defuse the doubter and support the advocate. 8. Don't be afraid to approach the customer directly for a decision. 9. Recognize that your past promises and actions will catch up with you. If there are some bad results, be prepared to deal with them to future customers. Know the negatives and the competition. 10. Ultimately, to be successful, the product has to do what you promise. Sooner or later, a flimflam will end your career. If promises or claims are made, the long term customer will have to be satisfied. There is no substitute for this. Yes, in the end . . . oh, why don’t you rent the movie and study your lessons? You’ll love it and learn from it. Get ready for "76 Trombones". I would appreciate comments.

The platonic relationship between Gaston and Gigi changes, however, when she matures, but the possibility of something lasting seems unlikely since he won't commit to one woman. Gigi refuses to be anyone's mistress, however, and Gaston must choose between her and his carefree lifestyle. Directed by Vincente Minnelli, the film stars Leslie Caron as Gigi, Louis Jourdan as Gaston Lachaille, Maurice Chevalier as Honoré Lachaille, Hermione Gingold as Madame Alvarez, and Eva Gabor as Liane d'Exelmans.Here on The Envelope, we discuss & review every Best Picture Winner in the Academy Awards History. We are a Cinema Squad Production, presented on the Cinema Squad Podcast Channel.
