* BoyishShorts: Knickerbockers, but yes. in "Ya Got Trouble," one of the signs of childhood corruption that Harold Hill invokes uses to rile up the citizens of River City into [[ThinkoftheChildren moral panic]] against the pool hall is asking the parents if they've noticed their sons re-buckling their knee-length knickerbockers below the knee. The knickerbockers are a visible sign of the boys still being in childhood--too young for wearing full length pants; the idea of the boys trying to wear them longer would imply they're trying to pass themselves off as older than they are to get into said pool hall.

They believe that the late Miser Madison left the library collection to her in his will, guaranteeing her a job as the town librarian, because she had an affair with him, but it turns out Madison was simply a friend of Marian's late father who wanted to make sure the fatherless family was provided for.

The original Broadway production starred Robert Preston as Harold Hill and Barbara Cook as Marian. Preston reprised his role for the 1962 film adaptation, which costarred Creator/ShirleyJones as Marian and a very young Creator/RonHoward as Marian's little brother Winthrop. The film was produced and directed by Morton [=DaCosta=], who'd also directed the original Broadway show, and is more faithful to the show than most musical film adaptations of the era. It was adapted again as a 2003 ''[[Series/WaltDisneyPresents Wonderful World of Disney]]'' remake starring Creator/MatthewBroderick and Creator/KristinChenoweth. There have been revivals too on Broadway (some of them were in 1981 and in 2000 and another one in 2022).

Marian was the only friend of "miser Madison," an extremely rich man who, upon his death, donated a large amount of property to River City (including the park and gymnasium). He also willed the town the library, but as the Pick-a-Little ladies explain, he only gave the city the ''building''--he left all of the ''books'' to Marian. Since they are her legal property, she's the only one who can have the job as librarian; presumably, Madison sensed that Marian was disliked in the town and did this to ensure that she would always be employed.
