Love this movie – have had it on vhs tape which is getting pretty worn out. Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson are a great pairing.
With moving performances from it's leads, and the underlying romantic tale of the love of one man and one woman, this story of the life and rise of Glenn Miller from obscurity to bona fide superstar is a fantastic watch, from start to finish. Well worth adding to any collection.
The Glenn Miller Story
Young musician Glenn Miller (Academy Award® winner James Stewart, Vertigo) grew up as a dedicated trombone player who wanted nothing more in life then to achieve greatness. With a philosophy of hard work and determination he set out to make it big in show business, starting up his own band, destined to become one of the most successful and influential groups of the big-band era. With beautiful wife Helen (June Allyson, Little Women) by his side and one of the biggest songs in America, “Moonlight Serenade” under his belt, it would seem nothing could stand in his way. But when the shadow of World War II loomed, Miller gave up his fame and success to help entertain the troops stationed in Europe. An inspiring biography of unparalleled detail, directed by Anthony Mann (El Cid), The Glenn Miller Story captures the life story of one of entertainment’s greatest musicians, featuring a soundtrack of arrangements that truly defined an era.
