    Good old Jimmy Stewart delivers another good performance as Glenn Miller telling the story of his days as a part-time trombone player through to his days in the army.

    Yet another trite movie about a musician that doesn't tell us anything about the musician and fails to teach us anything true about music.

    Thanks to my parents I love most anything Glenn Miller. I thought his portrayal of him in this movie (even tho I didn't know Glenn Miller) made me like him even more. June Allyson is a sweetheart!

    Thi sis a wonderful biopic of legendary bandleader Glenn Miller. Lots of cameos - Louie Armstrong, Gene Krupa, Frances Langford and others - infuse the film with a sublime soundtrack of the best swing music ever made. But this film is all about Jimmy Stewart who is at his best as Glenn Miller, and June Allyson who lights up the screen as Helen Miller. One of the best biopics I've seen.

    Jimmy Stewart in one of his best roles as the wildly popular band leader. Very interesting that it shows how Miller's sound evolved into the hits we hear even to this day. June Allyson is wonderful in this as well. These two actors always share great chemistry when on screen together which adds a lot to the film. Not a completely historically accurate movie, but well made and enjoyable for the whole family.

    It's a little boring and lacking substance at times, but I love June Allyson and I enjoy Jimmy Stewart, so it is amongst my favorites.

    Great Movie about Glen Miller and his music! This movie is a great movie about Glen Miller and his music. Jimmy Stewart does a superb playing the part of Glen Miller. June Allyson and Henry Morgan do great in this movie as well. You get to see and hear some great muscians like Louie Armstrong. You also get to hear lots of Glen Miller music like "Little Brown Jug," "Moonlight Serenade," "Pennsylvania 6-5000," "In the Mood," "String of Pearls." "America Patrol," and more. One of my flavorite part in the movie is when Glen Miller and the band are in Enland playing "In the Mood" and a German V-1 buzz bomb flies by and exeplodes. Everone runs for cover exept for the band, they coniture to play.

    I adore Jimmy Stewart, and I adore June Allyson. The two of them together, in Technicolor, plus big band music, drama, and romance? Why haven't I seen this yet?!

    If you like big band music from the 40's than you will love the music in this film, also it suppose to be a biopic of Glenn Miller.
