About this movie

Oscar-winner James Stewart (The Philadelphia Story) and June Allyson (Till the Clouds Roll By) light up the screen in this tribute to the legendary big-band leader. From his humble beginnings on an Iowa farm to his global fame as a best-selling recording artist, Glenn Miller's story—which was cut short by his stunning death—is one of a true American hero. This gripping drama features original Miller music performed by the Glenn Miller Orchestra; iconic musicians such as Gene Krupa, Frances Langford and Louis Armstrong; and a supporting cast that includes Harry Morgan. (TV's MASH), Charles Drake (Harvey) and George Tobias (TV's Bewitched). Experience the dynamic sounds of swing as it plays once again!

Ratings and reviews

Between the top performances by the greats June Allison and Jimmy Stewart, the great chemistry of these two mixed with the incredible movie subject, this is and always will be my ultimate favorite movie of all time

Movie lacks historical accuracy in some albeit rare situations

If you love big band music, you will love this movie.
