July 7 - 42nd Street

A sickly Julian Marsh (Warner Baxter) puts his all into what may be his last show, only to face a disaster when leading lady Dorothy Brock (Bebe Daniels) sprains her ankle. Thank heavens for ingenue Peggy Sawyer (Ruby Keeler), who steps in at the last minute. The vivacious soundtrack includes Shuffle off to Buffalo, and the still-catchy title tune.  Best of all are those extravagant, kaleidoscopic dance numbers by Busby Berkeley, then in his prime. (1933, 89 minutes)

July 14 - The Music Man

The Music Man was one of the last great movie musicals from any studio.  Robert Preston made his musical debut as Professor Harold Hill, the upbeat charlatan who promises to teach a small-town boys band by the "think system." Composer Meredith Willson based The Music Man on his own small-town Midwestern boyhood, circa 1912.   Willson's entire score, featuring a combination of what are now standards, such as Goodnight My Someone and Till There Was You, and show-specific numbers Trouble, 76 Trombones), is never less than infectious. (1962, 151 minutes)

July 21 - OKLAHOMA!

Set in the Oklahoma Territory in the early 1900's, this joyous celebration of frontier life is a story of tender romance and dangerous passion. Gordon MacRae is Curly, a sunny, good-natured ranch hand, and Shirley Jones is Laurey Williams, the farmer's daughter he loves. Rod Steiger is the menacing Jud, who tries to come between them. The first Rodgers and Hammerstein collaboration, this Academy Award winner for Best Score features the classic songs Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin', The Surrey With The Fringe On Top and People Will Say We're In Love.  (1955,  145 minutes)
