The Glenn Miller Story (1954) DVD

It was a time that changed the world. And one man put it to music.

The true story of an unassuming band leader and trombonist, Glenn Miller (played by James Stewart), who got his first break playing his own arrangement of 'Everybody Loves My Baby' at an audition.

He never looked back. He married his childhood sweetheart and everything he played became an instant hit...songs like 'Moonlight Serenade', 'String of Pearls' and 'Tuxedo Junction'. Hollywood beckoned, and success piled upon success. But then came World War II. A war from which Glenn Miller never returned. He was on his way to Paris to entertain the American Forces when his plane disappeared. But the show had to go on...and Glenn Miller became a legend. The film features all of Glenn Miller's hits and there are many guest performances who make this film an all time classic.

Winner of an Oscar for Best Sound in 1955.
