Anthony Mann Directs James Stewart

The Glenn Miller Story

1h 56m

Directed by Anthony Mann • 1954 • United States
Starring James Stewart, June Allyson, Harry Morgan

The beloved music of legendary big-band leader Glenn Miller graces this handsomely mounted biography, which traces his rise from humble pit-orchestra trombone player to leader of the most successful swing outfit of his era, his marriage to his ever-supportive wife Helen (June Allyson), and his enlistment in World War II. Louis Armstrong, Gene Krupa, and Frances Langford are just a few of the musical greats who appear as themselves.
