    Music Man Trivia Question

    Okay trivia buffs, one of my cast mates needs help. Is there a scene anywhere in The Music Man where Marian imagines Harold Hill in shining armor? The contention is that in the Robert Preston film, just after Winthrop gets his cornet, Marian's attitude changes and she actually pictures Harold as a white knight.

    Anyone ever see/hear of this scene? Thanks for the input!

    Marian sings a song called, My White Knight.

    I don't think there is any vision of RP as a knight in shining armor in the original movie. And in that movie, Marian sings "Being in Love" instead of My White Knight, although some of the words from MWK are included in the new song. I never could figure out why - My White Knight is a much better song for the character.

    It maybe that they are mixing the scenes up. There is a scene in the movie were Zanetee and Tommy imagine themselves in band costumes in "76" but no I have never seen a white knight scene
