The Sunday Film: The Glenn Miller Story

BBC One
on BBC One London

Starring James Stewart, June Allyson

When a single-engined aircraft crashed somewhere in the English Channel in December 1944, one of the lives lost was that of Glenn Miller, bandleader extraordinary. In this film biography, James Stewart achieves a remarkable likeness to Miller, capturing his modesty and his acutely professional musicianship.

Many of his greatest hits are featured, including 'Moonlight Serenade', 'In the Mood' and 'Little Brown Jug'.
