The Glenn Miller Story - 10 stars out of 10
Wow, this could very well be the greatest biopic of all time. Combine the acting talents of Jimmy Stewart with the amazing music of Glenn Miller and you simply cannot go wrong. At times it is difficult to believe that these events actually transpired, and yet that's what makes it such a beautiful story. It is inspirational to see the man who wanted to create a "new sound," but even more so to see his wife pushing him to pursue greater things because she believed in him. If you are familiar with Miller's music, you will get chills down your spine every time that you see him composing the classics that we love so much and seeing the inspiration behind each song. I love Henry Mancini's variations on Miller's greatest hits to craft a beautiful soundtrack to this film. The song "Little Brown Jug" means so much more to me after seeing this film and it will to you once you've seen it, as well.
