| | Amazon.ca: Glenn Miller Story: DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | The Glenn Miller Story may be a whitewashed version of Miller's life, but it certainly is a pleasant example of the feel-good Hollywood biopic, with the usual conventions: early struggles, loyal wife (June Allyson at her chirpiest), personal sacrifice--Miller joins the Army when war breaks out, although he doesn't have to--and ultimate tragedy. |
 | | June Allyson plays his incredibly supportive and understanding wife, and Harry Morgan is his lifelong best friend (and piano player). |
 | | The on-screen chemistry between Allyson (Helen Miller) and Stewart (Glenn Miller) is first rate, and Harry Morgan's "Chummy MacGregor" characterization is the ideal sidekick for this type of movie (highly inaccurate, but flattering to his subject). |
