Film Description

Celebratory biopic of Glenn Miller, legendary bandleader and trombonist, who lost his life when his plane disappeared en-route to Paris. Miller (James Stewart) gets his first big break performing his own arrangement of 'Everybody Loves My Baby' at an audition, and builds himself a reputation working for bandleader Ben Pollack (playing himself). Marriage to Helen (June Allyson) follows, and Miller finds success with his own 'sound' after a trumpet player splits his lip, forcing him to substitute a clarinet solo on 'Moonlight Serenade'. He goes on to become the leading jazz bandleader of his day. Features all his famous tunes and many guest performances including Louis Armstrong, Gene Krupa and Frances Langford, appearing here as themselves.
