Talk:Mr. B Natural

message: Anyone who's ever played in a school band can attest to the fact that it's robotic and boring. It's not even as satisfying as just practicing by yourself. And I just have to say it; Neil Young said that one of the original reasons he pursued a music career was that in high school he was very shy and did not feel he was attractive to women. He got his first band (The Jades) together and played for all the dances he felt he couldn't attend otherwise. It didn't change who he was in everyday life.  This film has a really laughable attitude toward the power of music to "bring kids out of themselves". --Bluejay Young 08:55, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Mr. B, what would ''you'' know about dignity?

message: The only known film print is held by F.I.L.M. Archives in New York, and it's expensive to get stills or footage out of them.
Happily, Mr. B Natural is out on DVD in both MST3K and original forms. Plus, it's all over YouTube.
But I thought I'd share this rundown of available shots from F.I.L.M., from behind their subscription wall:

replies: text: The frustrating thing is that the version currently shown as part of MST3K has several noticeable and very crude cuts (e.g. the moment when Mr Natural appears in the boy's bedroom looks badly mutilated). It would be interesting to know if the version held by FILM is complete. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 19:24, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: F.I.L.M.

message: The credits in the film read:
MIAMI SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Otto Krauschaar - Conductor
thumb|right|Seal of Miami County, Ohio
WAUKEGAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Bernard Steiner - Conductor
There were formerly two Miami, Ohios... if you trust Wikipedia.
There are currently three Miami High Schools in Ohio, since "Miami" is a the name of a county and five townships in that state. So I don't think we can dismiss the IMDb on the basis of there being no town called Miami in Ohio.
Thus, I'm taking this statement out: (IMDB incorrectly attributes this to the non-existent town of "Miami, Ohio".) 
--Any help in finding where Otto Krauschaar's band was located in 1956, would be appreciated. -- Yamara 14:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
