Review of The Glenn Miller Story (1954) by Bob W — 20 Feb 2010
Here we have James Stewart in one of his greatest roles as the wildly popular band leader, Glenn Miller. Perhaps my favorite James Stewart film of all time. It's fascinating to see how Miller's sound evolved into the hits we hear to this day, but the personal interest story of his rise in the music world is magnetic and thoroughly entertaining.
June Allyson was the perfect choice as his wife as she is feisty but devoted. Not to mention that these two actors share incredible chemistry when on screen together. That adds a lot to the film but does not overshadow the greatness of the script itself.
Although not a completely historically accurate movie, it is undoubtedly well made and enjoyable for the whole family.
