There are many memorable moments in the "The Glenn Miller Story". Even if you've seen it before, you'll find it worth another viewing. If it's a new to you, enjoy the music of a bygone era and the fascinating story of how a down-on-his-luck trombone player created "The Sound" that captured the attention of an entire generation.

One of my favorite all time movies. It made a life-long Glenn Miller fan out of me, when I was in grade school.

Would you be so kind as to ping the TCM Classic Movie alert list. The showing is just a few hours from now, plenty of time to prepare the popcorn!
And here's one of the many great moments from "The Glenn Miller Story" when Captain Miller springs a surprise with the band playing The St. Louis Blues March.

Singapore Sorrows--Ben Pollack & His Californians, 1928--one of my favorite songs featuring Glenn Miller, who plays trombone.

I am a fan of both Jimmy Stewart and his movies. I did not realize Miller was only 30, born in 1914 shot down 1944. I always assumed Miller was a older guy like Stewart..

One of my favorites. Stewart and Morgan. What a team.

One of a small number of movies (e.g., Casablanca, High Noon) I watch just about every time they’re on TCM. Never tire of the story and the music. Also, June Allyson is my all-time favorite girl-next-door type ;) ...despite her Depends...LOL!
