Synopsis: James Stewart plays Glenn
Miller, the bandleader who rocketed to fame during the swing era.
The Glenn Miller Story is a whitewashed version of Miller's life,
but it certainly is a pleasant example of the feel-good Hollywood
bio pic and somewhat tells his story. Basically hollywood's version
of his life in his early years as struggling musician & musical
arranger up to the time he joins the Army when war breaks out
in WWII, although he doesn't have to go, he does, and in the end
the ultimate tragedy. The ending is very heartbreaking but Miller's
music is forever.
