(30) Days of Music: Day 22

[sechan19]

"How can ignorance be compared to bliss?"

Your favorite song from a movie
"The Sadder but Wiser Girl," from Meredith Wilson's The Music Man; performed by Robert Preston.

This is something of a cheat I realize, but this excellent stage play was made into a movie and so I claim it on those grounds. When it comes to witty repartee, almost no one outdoes Meredith Wilson. (Stephen Sondheim might eventually have managed it.) With quips like "for no Diana do I play faun, I can tell you that right now!" and "I hope and I pray for Hester to win just one more A..." Wilson both captures the mindset of the cagey male and shows off his literary class in one fell swoop. And the fantastic Robert Preston was simply never better than as the wily Professor Harold Hill. Thank god they captured it on celluloid.
