ROCHELLE — The Hub City Senior Center will be hosting its monthly movie on Friday, Aug. 9 at 12:15 p.m. This month’s feature is “The Music Man.”
This movie was first released in 1962. When Harold Hill (Robert Preston) a traveling conman, arrives in River City, he convinces the locals to start a band by purchasing the uniforms and instruments from him.
His intention is to flee as soon as he receives the money. Librarian Marian Paroo (Shirley Jones) suspects Harold is a fraud, but holds her tongue since her little brother, Wintrop (Ronny Howard), is excited about the band. As Harold begins to develop feelings for Marian, he faces a difficult decision about skipping town. Sing along to songs such as “76 Trombones,” “Ya Got Trouble” and more.
