    A great performance by June Allyson and James Stewart. I've always been a fan of Glenn Miller's music. This movie is worth seeing.

    Good music. James Stewart. Good movie - yet a little slow for my tastes. But worth a watch.

    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.
