		The wagon was drawn by four horses, and when loaded with uniformed men and polished uniforms, and with Uncle Henry Correll, a Mexican War veteran, sitting on the back seat playing the bass drum – this spectacle to small, and not so small, children had all the lure of a circus parade.
		This Clarksburg band was much in demand for celebrations and picnics, and did more than its share in bringing recognition to Odon; personnel of the band changed, and it would be impossible to name even a small number of musicians who served.
		Contemporary with the Clarksburg band was a group known as a “Sheepskin Band”, composed of fife, snare drum, and bass drum.

	DVDFILE.COM: The Band Wagon Review
		The Band Wagon has been adored and adored again by many musical lovers who love the way Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse dance around in their lovely costumes and on even lovelier sets.
		Dialogue remains fairly tinny and the few sound effects and atmospherics utilized are pretty front-heavy (with the exception of the outrageously strong musical sequences, the surround channels here are rarely utilized), but all in all, this is the kind of sound mix upgrade every film from the 1950s deserves; it swings.
		The Band Wagon, a retrospective look at the film and it legacy, as well as a vintage documentary, The Men Who Made the Movies: Vincente Minnelli, which looks less at The Band Wagon specifically and more at Minnelli's overall output during his wonderfully diverse career (it runs about an hour).

		The commentary by Liza Minnelli and Michael Feinstein ranges from Minnelli talking about herself ("I was on the set that day!"), her clothes ("I wore a child’s size version of that dress!"), and the glory of show biz ("We stayed up all night if we had to!").
		The Band Wagon" delves into the backstage shenanigans behind The Band Wagon, and paints nimble mini-pictures of Astaire, Minnelli, and some of the other cast members (with some not-so-flattering tales of Oscar Lavant’s swinishness).

		No matter how technical that person is, he or she can take it only so far before it becomes repetitive.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Band Wagon: Special Edition
		Perhaps it's because the genre was often (at its best) lighthearted and ebullient, but it's also because the picture understands that, in making a great musical, the production should have as little pretense as possible.
		Warner Home Video presents The Band Wagon in a two-disc Special Edition with a solid full-frame transfer (1.33:1 OAR) and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio (for purists, the original 1.0 soundtrack also is included).
		Supplements on Disc Two include "Get Aboard!: The Band Wagon" (37 min.), which features Liza Minnelli, Nanette Fabray, Jonathan Schwartz, (son of songwriter Arthur Schwartz), Cyd Charisse, James Mitchell, Ava Astaire McKenzie (Fred's daughter), and vintage interviews with Betty Comden and Adolph Green, and choreographer Michael Kidd.

		THE BAND WAGON is a unique film which gently mocks the conventions of the "backstage musical" genre by piling stereotype upon stereotype to comic effect.
		As with most Vincent Minnelli films, THE BAND WAGON is visually stunning in virtually every manner possible, and the loose plot offers plenty of room for one dazzling musical number after another.
		Although some find it extremely slight, THE BAND WAGON remains one of the few truly great movie musicals of the 1950s--and easily one of the truly great movie musicals of Hollywood's golden age.

	THE BAND WAGON (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Ever since I saw both SINGIN' IN THE RAIN (1952) and THE BAND WAGON (1953) I've been unable to decide which is the greater of the two and therefore which deserves the crown as the finest film musical of all time.
		The tone of WAGON, on the other hand, is in every way, shape and form a mirror image of the Astaire persona: sophisticated, refined, subtle, elegant, slyly witty, humble, hard-working to a fault but eager not to show it, shyly self-effacing and wistfully romantic.
		The vast palette of colors that only true Technicolor could produce fairly leap off the screen with a degree of sharpness and utter lack of distortion or blooming that is simply mind-boggling to witness, as are the perfectly rendered skin tones.

	dOc DVD Review: The Band Wagon (1953)
		Thankfully, The Band Wagon, like all of Warner's remastered classics, falls in the first category, but the fascinating story behind the sound is unique to this picture, and Warner Home Video Senior Vice President George Feltenstein was nice enough to share it with me.
		According to Feltenstein, The Band Wagon was originally recorded in three-track stereo (a new process at the time), but because the technology was still developing and theaters in 1953 were not equipped to handle such advanced audio, it was never released as a stereophonic film.
		Extras Review: Another jam-packed special edition from Warner, The Band Wagon DVD includes a host of enticing supplements, beginning with a lively, chummy commentary by Liza Minnelli and her good friend, musician Michael Feinstein.
