Just 25 years ago, in December 1944, a single-engined plane disappeared over the English Channel ending the career of one of the world's great band leaders: Glenn Miller.
James Stewart achieves a remarkable likeness to Miller, brilliantly capturing both his modesty and his acutely professional musicianship. The film includes orchestral re-creations of such Miller hits as 'Moonlight serenade,' 'In the mood' and 'Little brown jug'; there could be no finer tribute to this great musician.
