The Glenn Miller Story (DVD)

Glen Miller is playing his terrific big band hits again in this stunning musical biography. The great Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson star in this vibrant tribute to one of America's legendary bandleaders, charting Miller's rise from obscurity and poverty to fame and wealth in the early 1940s. The wonderful score swings with the original Miller music performed by the Glen Miller Orchestra and such musical giants as Louis Armstrong, Gene Krupa, Frances Langford and The Modernaires. Rounding out the great cast are such favorites as Henry Morgan (M*A*S*H), Charles Drake and George Tobias. Tastefully directed by Anthony Mann, Glenn Miller's dynamic sound comes alive once more.
